party favor

i just finished putting together these tiny party favor bags for my little norah’s first birthday this week. it’s hard to tell, but these bags are about 4 inches tall, so they’re pretty tiny.i had so much fun finding tiny items to fill the tiny bags. this is what i came up with, and what would fit in a tiny little bag.

so, there are:
mini m&m’s
tiny bubble gum
tiny chiclet gum
a party blower
a tiny watercolor set
a tiny crayon set
tiny laffy taffy
tiny magnifying glass
tiny bottle of bubbles

then, i used a tiny clothes pin decorated with happy tape to close the top.

i hope norah and her tiny cousins like it!

tiny party invitations …

tiny birthday party invitation

After seeing this darling tiny party, i knew i had to throw my little norah a tiny party for her first birthday.

I’ve been storing ideas ever since, and i am now actually getting it all together for my tiny norah’s first birthday next week. i can’t believe she’s almost one?!

i finally finished the tiny invitations and almost have them all delivered for her family party. [we have big families between the two of us, so all our parties end up being family parties with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma’s, and grandpa’s!]

i made the invitation in photoshop and printed them out, then added tiny bunting with happy tape. the invitations ended up being about the size of a business card and were tucked into a teeny tiny envelope. i tied a magnifying glass to the front with bakers twine. [a darling idea i saw here]

have a great weekend!
