Ideas for Arissa's First Birthday Party

All images are from Mr. Google
which originally from famous and fabolous websites around the globe
Trillion thanks to them coz sharing the ideas with all people in the world!!

Firstly, I will do a small, save budget
first birthday party for Arissa
I just invite my mom and my siblings
which means only 9 people in total
Do it at my home, few foods and take pictures
I don't think 1st birthday should be grand
Since Arissa si too small to have the feel of celebrating a big party
I think most grand 1st parties are more dedicated to the parents rather than the child

Plus, we are having tight budget this month.
Sorry Arissa, but we still love you!!!!
So to save budget, just DIY all the stuff for the parties!!!
But I know I am not good at drawing cartoon,
so, I buy few non expensive stickers
I will put the pics in next post

So, below are my ideas and inspirations
Based on trends nowsadays...
i will not use them for this year
i will save some of them for the other years in future though

this is the common party trends for 2010/2011
cupcake with cute labels
cake stand
paper pom pom or lantern
cake with cute cartoon decoration
hanging banner and photos
themed water bottle

lots of candies and deserts

DIY lamps/lantern..can create based on themes
this is cute...pinky monkey for the girlssss
popular cupcake design
this is creative and easy peasy to DIY

DIY Cupcake stand anyone?
i prefer it in all white.
But i think to save cost but still maintain the beauty of a cake stand,
just buy ready made cake stand
at any hypermarket...

these jars will make your party become elegant and sweet at the same time!!
i guess just buy them in KK home deko, Ikea, Rm2 stores!!
I have two of them which currently i put one for my cooking utensils
i will wash and dry them and maybe put tit bits in there
only 9 people, but the jar is very large
or maybe i put watermelon juice in there
not yet decide

fruit salad

simple and affordable, yet elegant

nice DIY banner with ribbon would be great!!
Wording? Arissa is One or Arissa First Birtday Party?

cute candies

with cute labels
in cute containers

I prefer the cookies dipped in chocolate
Buy cute cookies and cooking chocolate bar at hypermarket
do double boil technique to the cooking chocolate bar
then dip half of the cookies
let it dry at put in a air tight container

you can do the same to marshmallow
and then sprinkle yummy goodies on top of it!!

colorful balloons is a must!! rm2.90 to 4.90 per pack of 8-10 pcs
the thick and satin coloured baloons is good
to add the elegance in a party
i have buy them from a party store
with the baloons pump, rm9.90

garden theme with flower baloons!!
zebra party theme
this is nice for the baby
decorated chair and carpet for baby party mess!!
but i don't have a high chair
only have bumbo seat and first year chair with traymaybe i can decorate them..hmmm...

this is also nice
but i think my hubby would not wear this since his hairstyle is spiky
will not look good during photo session
for Arissa i plan to find a bunny ears hair band
i have found mouse ears hair band, but i still prefer bunny ears more
cute door gifts for the guests
but this idea i should save for Arissa's 2nd birtday party
plan to do it at her nursery

pink and white theme, the cake stand with pink ribbon is a beauty!!!

m&m candies are popular for parties
grab them now!!!
ice popsicles is genius!!
watermelon, lychee, pineaple and peach!!
yummmmm!!
fruit stick is a adorable
happening and yet saving cost!!
labelled pop stick
easy and non expensive idea
the stick i get from starbucks tiny green straw/mixer
i took around 10-12 pcs..hehe jahat!
i took them after purchased 2 foods and 1 drink
sorry starbucks

i want to make arissa fridge magnet
