Your baby’s first birthday is a momentous occasion and you can make sure it’s as sweet and special as she is with this darling Lil Fox birthday party!
Setting the Scene:
This woodland theme is not only adorable, but it is jam packed full of coordinating supplies which makes planning and setting up your party a snap!
The Table:
A special first birthday girl deserves an extra beautiful party, and with some feminine details you can create this darling and dainty look! We started with a fresh white table linen and topped it with a coordinating Lil Fox Tablecloth, which served as a runner. A mint tutu table skirt added an extra elegant and girly touch to the table. With plenty of sweets, woodland friends and colorful details, we wanted to be sure the table had a playful and dainty feel for the kids to enjoy! We kept the table full of soft details, adorable foxes and a gorgeous cake!
The Centerpiece:
With plenty of colors, textures and shapes, we loved incorporating a mix of Lilac Mini Paper Lanterns and Mini Mint Green Paper Lanterns as well as the honeycomb balls we separated from a Mint and Lavender Honeycomb Tissue Garland. This served as a unique and playful table runner and truly provided an element of fun to the table. The lanterns and tissue balls looked beautiful resting upon the Lil Fox Tablecloth! We even mixed in a few Lil Fox Favor Boxes for an extra sweet look!
The Cake:
We kept it simple with a plain white cake and added a few details after we left the baker, which was a great way to customize our cake but save on budget! We disassembled a Lil Fox Favor Box and placed one of the foxes on the cake and then added a few lavender sprigs, which really added some personality to the cake!
The Place Settings:
This theme is great because there are so many coordinating options to include! We set each place with matching Lil Fox Dinner Plates layered on top of Lavender Square Dinner Plates, Royal Purple Forks, Lil Fox Mushroom Cups and an adorable Lil Fox Treat Bag for any leftover sweets or party favors. For older kids attending the party, we placed Lil Fox Charm Bracelets around the Lil Fox Mushroom Cups for them to enjoy throughout the party and to bring home as a fun favor. We had a few spare charm bracelets so we added loose charms to our utensils with just a dab of hot glue. It was a simple and cute way to add a little extra-special touch to the utensils. Each guest chair had an adorable mini Mint Green Tissue Hanging Fans and fox chair decoration for a sweet look.
The Food:
Every party calls for plenty of food options and a sweet station is a great way for guests to fill their plates. We created a kid friendly and yummy S'mores on a Stick recipe which was a huge hit with the kids and added a fun option to our sweets station. A Lil Fox Treat Stand with Cones was filled with over sized marshmallows and color coordinating purple chocolates. We just adore these little snack cups because they are just the right size for little hands to grab and they help keep hands clean! These fox cookies were oh-so-cute and matched the theme perfectly, even down to the sweet little purple bows! Cookies and chocolate are both perfectly paired with every one year old's favorite drink...milk! These Clear Glass Milk Bottles with Lids were a darling way to serve up fresh cold milk and they looked especially cute with coordinating Lil Fox Paper Straws and Mint Green Striped Paper Straws!
The Decor:
We wanted to add some simple but playful decor to our party, so we pulled in a few classic party pieces such as Mint Green Tissue Hanging Fans and a Lil Fox Pennant Banner. The banner looked perfect strung across the table, gently resting upon a beautiful mint green tulle table skirt. We used an array of mint paper fans in various sizes to create a unique but easy-to-assemble backdrop for our sweets station. We added an adorable little fox cut out from the Fox and Mushroom Centerpieces to tie in the theme. Our favorite piece of decor was a DIY wood plaque that you can easily create yourself with a few simple supplies! This sweet and simple craft really added a personal and creative touch!
The Favors:
It doesn't get much cuter than these darling Lil Fox Favor Boxes, which are perfectly sized to fill with any kind if sweet or treat you want! We created these super easy and super adorable DIY Fox Ear Headbands for guests to wear throughout the party and to enjoy for dress up at home too! This Lil Fox First Birthday is a theme that is just as sweet and darling as your little one!
