Dr. Seuss First Birthday Bash

In looking back at the pictures of my son's first birthday party earlier this summer, I had forgotten how much fun we had! I wanted to share with you some fun pictures of the party. I hope you get a few decor ideas you can use for your Dr. Seuss party.

The color scheme was turquoise blue, red and yellow. I wanted to highlight the primary colors because it was a first birthday and I didn't want to just go with blue and red or red and black. I borrowed a few decorations from a friend who had a Dr Seuss baby shower earlier this year.

I didn't get too many close-ups... (it was before I started the bloggin' thing!)

For the food table, I used two small red oval frames with pictures of Thing 1 and Thing 2 in them that my friend found online and printed, then framed. My main table centerpiece was a red and white striped piece of fabric with a bright blue boa. I also had three blue flower pots that I found at Target in the $1 section that were filled with yellow easter grass and each had a red gerbera daisy. I purchased the paper lanterns at Hobby Lobby and hung them from the ceiling with thumbtacks and thread.  I also added a few Dr. Seuss books for fun!

I served ham sandwiches on the small Hawaiian rolls and deviled eggs with the yolks dyed green. I used washed out salsa jars to hold the flatware and wrapped each one with red and white scrapbook paper then tied a blue ribbon around to complete!

This was the Happy Birthday pennants I made for Connor. I cut them from scrapbook paper and cut the letters from contrasting scrapbook paper and used yellow curling ribbon to hang them with. I found the turquoise full size flat sheet at goodwill and it was the perfect color for my backdrop! The yellow bowls had red gummy fish in them for snacks. My same friend from before has a very artistic husband and he drew the fish for her and again, I borrowed them!

The red metal pail was from Hobby Lobby, and so were the blue polka dot pinwheels. The yellow stuff is left over easter grass!

The smash cake!
