AW: Macy's Bday Party (lots of PIPs)

Macy's birthday party on Saturday was a success! She was pretty good the whole day until the end, then she was just tired and overstimulated. I made all of the food, decorations and sweets with a little help from my mom and sister. Everyone seemed to love everything, and I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out! Today is her actual birthday, and between that and my first Mother's Day, it's a little emotional around here! Here are just a few pics from the party 
Thanks for letting me AW!

Re: AW: Macy's Bday Party (lots of PIPs)
Happy Birthday Maci!
The pictures are great. Avery's party is the 27th. I really like how you linked all her monthly pictures together.
Very Nice! I love the "watch me grow" banners
Might have to steal that one for DS's next month . . .
I love the monthly pictures and the little faces with party hats!
Adorable! Happy Birthday, Macy!
Everything looks sooo cute! Can't believe you did all that AND got your new house in order!
Happy Birthday Macy!!!!
Nope, I don't have a cricut. For the "Happy Birthday Macy" banner, I just traced two sizes of circles (one was a small bowl, and the other was one of Macy's toys lol) onto scrap book paper. The letters are sticky letters from the scrapbooking section.
For the "Watch Me Grow" banner, same thing - I just traced a small condiment cup and cut them all out by hand, letters are scrapbooking letters.
My mom did the party hat banner - she just enlarged/photocopied close-up photos of Macy's face on a really good color copy machine. The hats are scrapbook paper embellished with poms and sparkly stuff.
For the polka dots draped along the cake table, I used a 1-inch punch and punched out a million circles, then strung them with a needle and thread. I used the same size circles for the cake topper, and more scrapbooking letters, then attached them to sticks.
ETA: And the wreath is like 4308950928423 strips of tulle and ribbon tied around a wreath template
Thanks!! That's what I was going for! I really wanted it to be memorable and special, but not totally crazy over the top (even though I know DH's family thought it was crazy over the top haha).

Lost Lilah (Audra's twin) at 26 weeks. Cause unknown. Forever in our hearts
Haha, yeah, pretty much the whole party was "Pin-spired!" How did anyone ever plan a party before Pinterest, anyway??
AWWWW Happy official first birthday, Macy! You're a big girl now!
Mommy did a great job on the decorations! Way to go. 18 days left for us
I always wonder what my wedding would have looked like if Pinterest were around in 2006 when I was hardcore planning!
I love the faces/hat banner. So flipping adorable! Everything looked great!
Very pink and girly
Everything turned out great! Wow!
Funny side note- Sylvia has the same exact dress for her birthday, ha ha.
Haha yeah... I was kinda anti-pink when I was pregnant, so my baby shower and her nursery had/has very little pink. Well, I thought maybe I was cheating her out of it or something, so I guess I made up for it with this party! It was supposed to be pink and aqua but obviously the aqua ended up being an accent lol. And yes, I remember seeing someone else PIP the dress! I really liked it, but M had a hard time crawling in it, which I knew she would, but I just had to have the dress
