Twins First Birthday

For the twins first birthday I knew I wanted to do something sweet but also find a way to thank all of our friends for helping us survive the first year! I decided to go with a sweet treats party theme. A perfect party to not only celebrate our sweet twins but as a way of thanking all of our friends and family for helping us survive our first year!

I started by collecting candy right after Easter. The blue and pink candy was perfect to go along with the color scheme. I found plain white bags at Michaels and labeled them with little Thank You circles. I then filled 8 different jars with pastel colored candy. As our guests left they stopped by our Twins Sweet Shop and filled their bags with yummy candy.

Streamers and banners! I used 12x12 cardstock paper to make all the banners. Streamers were used for the backgrounds for the twins highchairs and the dessert table

My favorite decorations were the twins pictures. We took one year pictures that we used for the invitations, which I ordered from Shutterfly. I also had monthly pictures enlarged into a 10x13 collage for the fireplace mantle. I then placed more pictures of the twins on each of the tables in the house.

It would not be a party without balloons everywhere. I picked up the 99cent packs from Walmart for balloon streamers outside. We also ordered some helium balloons from Party City.

Baby Girl had a new party dress that said Birthday Princess I ordered online from Kohls and Baby Boy wore a matching polo shirt I found at Marshalls. The birthday girl and boy shirts were also from Kohls but I was able to find those in the store.

I ordered individual cakes for each of the twins from Target and cupcakes from BJ's. I had them leave the top of the cupcakes plain so I could add my own decorations.

The twins party turned out great! They had fun running around and visiting with all of our friends. We loved having the opportunity to thank everyone for loving on our family so much the past year.
