My older sister and her husband live in Germany and when they told me earlier this year that they would be visiting with my niece, my first reaction was birthday party! Mia, my little niece, turned one in January but her family here in the U.S. didn't get to celebrate in person so we had to have a May birthday party for her!
My sister told me that Mia loves Elmo! She asked my husband to create the invitation and a few decorations for the party.
I thought he did a great job with it, didn't he? He found a baby Elmo graphic online but the resolution was very small and the quality not so good. So he brought it into Illustrator and “redrew” it.
I just love how the banner came out! My sister used a circle cutter to cut the big circles out.
I created a whole collage of Mia digging into her cake. Her mom told me she loves chocolate so I made her a chocolate cake. She is one of the few tots I have seen who actually ate her smash cake. Okay not the whole thing but she did enjoy the chocolate and the buttercream icing!
Below is a video of Mia putting on a purse she got as a gift from her Great-Aunt Debbie. She knows how to put her purse on her shoulder!
I loved sharing Mia's birthday party with you and thought I would share with you the files for the Cupcake toppers (I still need to upload the border ones – for adding a child's photo), the party favor tags and the banner. Download them below.
