It's a Circus

Last weekend was my little guy's 1st birthday party. All the effort in getting the details paid off. I really love the way it all came together. This was the center piece table for the party.

We had all the workings of circus inspired goodies - the birthday cupcakes topped with clown cupcake toppers, jelly beans, frosted animal crackers, pop corn, cracker jacks, and cotton candy! The goodie bags had whizers, Chinese yo-yos, a box of barnum circus animal crackers, and star sunglasses.

The same fabric from the goodie bags was used as a table runner to add contrast to the red table cloth for added pop!

 We bought a 30 helium balloon kit from Michael's with their weekly 40% off coupon and made mini center pieces for each table.

I found this circus themed banner and birthday banner at Alin Party Supply and the these dangling things there too. 

 I strung monthly pictures of the little man to see how he's grown over the year.

I think he and the rest of the guests had a good time : )
