Little Party Planning Help

I was needing a little help getting organized for my son's birthday party, after doing a little bit of research trying to find a cute printable for a birthday party checklist I decided to make my own. It goes with the theme of his birthday party.

I save everything so now instead of throwing it away right after I have something cute and sentimental to remind me of how much time I put into his birthday party. I've attached the link if you'd like to download it! I will also make a generic one pretty soon for regular parties once I start my family binder.

 Mickey Mouse Birthday Party Checklist

Enjoy!

1st Birthday Party Planning

Well I have been a busy bee working and planning my son's 1st birthday party! I am trying to find everything baby Mickey Mouse or Mickey themed and so far I am finding a lot of stuff.

I loved the baby Mickey Mouse invitations that I could have easily bought but I always like to customize my invitations because I think they feel more personal that way. It also helps I have great friends who are always willing to help me. This is what the finished product looks like!



I used my amazing Cricut for this whole invitation. I learned so many different techniques from making these invitations. I had never actually read the little books that come in the box with the cartridge but I am so happy I finally did and I highly recommend taking the time to do so.

For the card I used I used
Cricut® Cuttin' Up Cartridge

















For the "Happy 1st Birthday" and "Landon" on the front of the card I used
Cricut® Baby Steps Cartridge





















and for the "1" I used
Cricut® Base Camp Cartridge

















For the Mickey Mouse head on the back I used
Disney© Mickey and Friends Cricut® Cartridge


As for everything else I cut by hand including those adorable baby Mickey's. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Hope you enjoyed my post!

The Beginning

Well I'm new to this whole blogging thing but I thought I would give it a try and share the things I am most passionate about. 


Those include:


My son Landon
My husband Brian


My boxer Mikey

Invitation making
Scrapbooking
Party Planning
Figuring out new ways to improve my life


I've read to have a successful blog I need to focus on one area but I haven't quite figured out that one particular area.


I'm sure I'll figure it out as I go. 


Currently I'm planning my son's 1st birthday party so if you are interested in party planning my next few blogs will most likely be about that! 


Hope you enjoy my blog!
