Dol - First Birthday Party decoration ideas

To start, this event was introduced to the guests through a unique invitation that was sure to have everyone wanting more. In addition to send a paper card invitation, button sugar cookies were made and packaged in an adorable plastic case and filled with tissue shred for cushioning. The cookies were frosting in pink and green and marked with Korean letters saying, lila/1 (chook/dol – 1st birthday).

In order to greet everyone as they came to the party room,  fantastic photos of the birthday girl were posted in the elevators saying “Oh! You made it. I’m on the 4th floor!”

A white wall in the venue area was decked out in an array of gorgeous photos as well, giving everyone a lovely decoration to check out. They were displayed gallery style, giving an artsy effect that was impressive.

Bringing tradition into this party was a big part of the beauty of it. A “doljabee” – a traditional element of a Dol, was laid out and all of the guests were able to guess which items birthday girl would choose. This gave a sweet way to have everyone feel included in the fun.

Vibrant colors were used to bring the party area to life, handmade candy pillars were a fantastic example with their innovative designs and delicious composition.  The cake was a shimmery delight in two circular layers that were covered in adorable colors and details that were sure to impress.

Even the centerpieces embraced the wonderful cultural aspect of the celebration with globes of various heights in bright colors, representing a family of 3.

One way to celebrate your growing little boy is to throw him a Mustache Man Birthday Party.  This theme is also perfect for a little girl’s birthday party. With a fun idea like this, you have a lot of different options that are all sure to keep your child happy.

You can create a sophisticated venue using a soft blue, and black for your color choices or pink for a girl. This opens up a glamorous look that will impress everyone who gets to attend your event. With an elegant invitation with swirly fonts, you can really emphasize the classy theme appropriately.

To decorate your party room, drape your guest tables in soft blue or pink cloths that reach close to the floor, this gives that sophisticated feel with a simple touch.  You can tie black ribbons around the back of the chairs to give a neat and easy accent to the tables. For your centerpieces, you can put together bouquets of flowers and stick little mustaches on straws in them to add a neat little look.  Hang up groups of hanging lanterns to create a full atmosphere. You can even border your buffet table with a banner of mustaches to incorporate that adorable style into the whole area. This would be a fun theme to print out menus for each guest, adding to the elegance and have little labels for each of the dishes you create.

Make all of your food mustache friendly with little mustache stickers/labels on the jars and bowls that you use to let the theme generate through the entire area. Have miniature versions of sophisticated meals like spaghetti with short noodles for less mess, and little pizzas. You can have a tower of oreo cookies for a splash of sweet. Veggie kabobs offer a healthy twist that is fun to munch on.  Make a round, tiered cake for your big dessert and decorate it to look like a miniature man with a mustache.

To entertain your visitors, have a craft table set up to let everyone make their own little mustache, and add unique little options like paint and glitter to make them super special. Have everyone play a round of pin the mustache on the man and see who can get the closest to the correct placement. Have a dress up race to see who can put on a full suit (adult size to put over their own clothes) the fastest.

Bling Princess First Birthday Party

Bling Princess First Birthday Party by Events by Nat

A daughter’s first birthday is a huge deal for parents and what better way to celebrate this milestone than a fun, themed birthday party? This is just what Events by Nat did with her wonderful motif of “Bling Princess First Birthday Party”, and it was full of pretty décor and shining accessories fit for a princess!

Bling Princess First Birthday Party

Presentation and food are the most important facets of any party, and for the Bling Princess party, there was no exception. The main color for decorations was a pale pink, and it was incorporated in tons of ways. Pretty pale pink tulle was used for table skirt for the food and cake serving tables. Pale pink color was also used in the birthday cake, cupcakes, candies, and other accents such as chair bows, flowers, balloons, and cupcake wrappers.

When it came time for the yummy treats, Events by Nat really went all out! A blinged silver number “1” was the topper for the birthday cake, while apothecary jars were perfect to hold pink candies. Silver shiny crowns were plopped on top of the jars as well! Magic wand star stirrers for drinks added to the theme beautifully, while tiara-shaped sugar cookies and jewel-sticked cake pops were an amazing sight to the guests’ eyes!

A pink sign with letters in silver glitter paint proclaiming “Happy Birthday!” to the little princess honoree made the entire party theme pop. Party favors of white and pink wrapped personalized candy bars with jeweled stickers gave the birthday party guests a feeling of pampered royalty. Last minute final touches that completed the Bling Princess motif were a white picture frame with a sign thanking the guests, pink goodie bags for the guests to gather in treats, and most importantly, serving trays and platters in colors of white and silver. Events by Nat truly made Bling Princess first birthday party a memorable one!
