Carter’s 1st Party!

I’ve read in many places that a party starts with the invitation. Well, here you are.

I’m not big on party themes. I just love the celebration. So after I was asked many times what the theme was I just carried the colors of the invitations throughout the party. Now, as far as the invitations go, I did make these with a friend who was sweet to help. I originally found a design similar to this on Tiny Prints. They cost about $1.20 per invite. I love T.P. and have purchased from them before and still will just not as that price. So, the total cost for making our invitations was 23 cents per invitation!

William got the front deck built and ready. He worked like a crazy man from sun-up to sun-down with help along the way.

Greeted with a sign, enter the party.

I think birthdays should be a huge celebration! William thinks birthdays are just another day. So, I must thank my loving husband for supporting the party and being excited with me about all the little details.

And, of course the Happy Birthday, cake in the face tradition…

He wasn’t too thrilled about the whole idea at first, but ended up loving it!

Thank you to everyone who has been such a precious part of Carter’s life. We love you and are so thankful for the wonderful people surrounding us. Thanks also to Carter’s Aunt Katie, Grandma Bea, Grandpa Rick, Grandma Tracy, Joy C., and Daddy for all the help for the day of the party!
