one week to GB’s party

GB’s first birthday party is one week away. Am I ready? Ha. Ha. No.

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

I’m hosting the party at my pretzel shop, so there will be soft pretzels.
I’m doing a general red and aqua color scheme and “little man” theme with mustaches and bowties.
I ordered GB an adorable first birthday outfit (from Etsy of course).
I’m using a digital red and aqua scrapbook paper download to make some pennants to hang, primarily on his highchair.
I (actually) made some cute cupcake picks using crafty stuff from AC Moore. I even now own a Martha Stewart paper punch. Who am I?
I ordered some vanilla cupcakes to stick those picks in… and got a free smash cake in the process!
I found some red and blue sodas that I’m going to display in a metal drink tub.
I ordered a Dr. Seuss birthday book for guests to sign.
I’m using butcher paper to cover the tables.
I’m going to pick up some red and aqua helium balloons.

and… that’s about it. Since this is a small gathering with just family, they shouldn’t judge me if I don’t have a Big Top and photo booth and clown and foie gras, right? You guys know how I feel about birthday parties, after all.

I’ll share photos after the party!
