Ahoy! It's a Birthday!

Ahoy there bloggers and friends! 

Nautical themed birthday parties are all the rage!  Recently, HH Design House created many of the fun and unique decorations for a little sailor's first birthday. We'd love to share some pictures of swashbuckling party.  Anchors aweigh!

You're invited!  These navy, red, and powder blue tri-fold invitations were sent out to friends and family for Noah's first birthday. We created a unique monogram, anchors, whales, and sailboats which were used throughout the party and for decoration!

Mommy created a door hanger out of an old life preserver.

Look how much this sailor has grown!  Mommy came up with the idea to take a picture of Noah each month.  These picture frames are topped with a decal, created by HH Design House to indicate which month each picture was taken up to a year!

In lieu of a guest book, guests signed a canvas with the special Noah nautical monogram!

Drinks were served in custom cups

Guests had a whale of a time with these water bottles wrapped in HH Design House custom labels!

Ye still thirst matey? Sip smoothly with these straws for Sailor's Delight Sangria!

The party was hosted in the back yard of Mommy and Daddy's house.  Nautical center pieces included red, white, and navy balloons and lanterns.  Guests could play with beach balls and enjoy yummy how-you-like-it grilled cheese sandwiches prepared by the chef!

Matching cupcake toppers and food cards were created for all the yummy treats!

Napkin ties had Noah's monogram attached!

We hope you didn't make too much of a mess, but just in case, monogrammed napkins were with in reach!

What a fun table setting complete with a banner!

We think this sailor enjoyed his birthday adventure!

Thanks for dropping an anchor!  Cookies by Baked by Drake were given as favors to guests.  Hayley says they were as good to eat as they were to look at!  They must have been absolutely DE-LISH!

Tags created by HH Design House were attached to the goodie bags.

 

Just like waves in the ocean, there are ups and downs to every party, but we think that everyone had a great time!
