Strawberry Birthday Party Dessert Table

I wanted to make sure strawberries were super prominent on our dessert table, so I bought these adorable round wooden baskets from Amazon. I filled most of the baskets with paper towels, and then I added fresh strawberries on top. The finishing touches were this pretty (), a cute blue gingham table runner, and a super fun pink and white balloon garland.
If you’ve always wanted to make a balloon garland but have been intimidated by either the cost of having one professionally made or the technique involved with making one yourself, I shared exactly how to make DIY balloon garlands in this post. You honestly would not believe how easy it is to create fun balloon arches at home, and you can pick up the kits for a STEAL! I used a pink and white balloon garland kit that was literally under $15 for this party, and it took less than an hour to blow up the balloons, assemble the garland, and hang it up on the wall!

DIY First Birthday Milestone Posters

I framed the printed 8×10 image in this cute white floral picture frame, and I think the finished product is so precious! The only thing I wish I’d done is made the file a little later. OF COURSE Luna had to learn two new words and start walking right after I printed the file haha!

Strawberry Picnic Basket Party Favors


I originally wanted to line the baskets with these pink gingham cloth napkins, but unfortunately, they were just too big. If you’re using larger baskets, they’d be beautiful! I ended up cutting a few of these pink gingham chair bow sashes into small rectangles, and they were the perfect liners! They’d obviously also make perfect party decor for your strawberry birthday party theme!
Inside the lined baskets, I added jars of (also available in ) and two kinds of strawberry candy wrapped in these clear favor bags. These Strawberry Sour Patch Kids were so cute and yummy in the favors! I just split up this two-pack of bags for our favors (and had a small dish left over for the party), but this 12-pack is a much better deal if you’re having a larger party.I also bought a huge bag of Pink Starbursts and split them up in these clear party favor bags. We sealed these with washi tape, but I wish I’d used this pretty ribbon!

First Birthday Party Time Capsule

The thing that’s surprised me most about being a parent is learning just how many people love your children before they’re even born. It brings me so much joy and peace to know that Luna has dozens of people who love her to pieces, and I want her to know just how much she was loved from the very beginning. That’s why I’ve asked our party guests (just family really) to write a letter to my children on their first birthday. I plan on giving them the letters when they turn 18, and I hope the words will be as special to them as they are to me!
I purchased this adorable from Etsy, and the finished product is so adorable! I used the same white floral picture frame that I used for the milestone poster and added stationery and pens for my guests to write a letter. This listing actually includes adorable matching stationery, but I forgot to print it out unfortunately. Highly recommend this Etsy seller!
