XP- Need 1st Bday help...

Parks2Be

**I thought I would post here too since most of my peeps are moving over**  So I had originally planned to do Charlotte's 1st b-day as a 'Charlie (what we call her 99% of the time) and the Chocolate Factory' but the more I think about it, I think it would be more fun to do that when she actually remembers it.  So, now I'm at a loss. Before you say 'its her 1st, who cares' my BFF and I are all about parties and we have went all out for her kids (7 & 2) so I feel as if I need to keep up but I don't know what to do.  Her b-day is Oct 1st so I feel like it should be around a Fall theme.  I thought about just doing 'Pumpkins' but then again its her 1st so I feel obligated to have it pretty and pink (LOL!)Any suggestions? Any other Fall moms at a loss?   Or should I say fk it and do cupcakes or princess?

How about something w/ apples? A friend did an apple theme for a fall party once and it was a really cute idea.I like the red and brown color scheme too, since you will have countless years of pink, I'm sure.

You could say something on the invite like:

"The apple of our eye is turning 1. Come over and join the fun!"

Newport! I love it! I never even thought of that (although I did think of candy apples as treats for those that don't like cake) but I guess it never dawned on me to do apples.  That could be fun.  We could have cider and then do a few other 'Fall' themed ideas.  Thank you!

That is a great idea.  You could even have apples in clear bowls or pewter pales as center peices.

I was going to suggest apples, too!

And I was also going to say that there is nothing wrong with fall colors and themes for a princess! I immediately envisioned a fall leaf, vivid colors, with a fairy princess perched on the stem....  these kinds of images on the invitation

(ok, I totally came across these a while back while designing a fairy invite and immediately wanted to use these as inspiration to do a  fall themed one!)
