Party Details:
“Mila’s first birthday party venue was an easy decision as her parent’s, Mercie and Chris had one of their first dates at The Discovery Children’s Museum. They wanted to be kids for a day and what a great way to achieve just that! Fast forward years later and it was time to celebrate their daughter’s first birthday party. They wanted to bring one of their favorite children’s books “The Wonderful Things You Will Be” to life for this big milestone. There were several pages from the book we were inspired by such as the stuffed animals having a birthday party with cookies. Each stuffed animal guest that was also the kid’s favors had a tag placed on them inspiring kids what to be, Be Kind, Be Brave, Be Bold, Be Clever, etc.
Another page that inspired us was the gardening “Will you help things grow?” page. We wanted the centerpieces to reflect that so we adorned the tables with fresh floral, fruits, and veggies, and accessories decorating the ends of the table with a wheel barrel and a watering canister filled with floral and fresh produce.
We went with a muted pastel color palette to acknowledge the beautiful watercolor pages in the book.
They wanted a fun and kid friendly menu that adults would enjoy too so we had menu station cards to reflect each item. Wild and Wise Tots anyone?!
Two mocktails were created with fresh ingredients and spring influenced flavors. The name’s of the mocktails were important as it was to include Mila’s two angel sisters.
As a cool down from all of the fun, a popsicle bike cart was on display for guests to select from four delish flavors with ingredients sourced locally in Las Vegas.
Their favorite quote from the book was displayed on the balloon wall which also served as the cake cutting backdrop which was followed by the sweet toast given by dad encouraging kids to never give up and to be anything they want to be. It was truly a ONEderful celebration!” – Angelica | Angelica Rose Wedding & Events
