Delphine's Winter in One-derland

For our daughter's first birthday, we chose the theme "Winter in One-derland," mashing up images of winter (snowflakes, mostly) and Alice in Wonderland. The colors were red and Caribbean blue with black and white neutrals.

• What People Ate

  Pizza for the children. Mini Croissant sandwiches and pasta salad for the adults. Veggie and fruit trays and a candy buffet.

• What People Drank

  Sparkling apple cider, juice, water, french syrup in sparkling water.

• Desserts

  Cupcakes for the birthday song and a full candy buffet.

• Party Favors

  Homemade hot chocolate on a stick for the adults. Children received a bag with a fake snowball, instant "snow," a wrist band that said "it's my unbirthday, too!," stickers of Alice in Wonderland, and teacup suckers.

• Activities / Games

  Lots of dancing, a tissue paper punch game, ring toss, and bean bag toss. Who are you masks. The popular activity was letting the kids draw on white-iced cookies with edible markers!!

• Lani (my mother!)

  My mom

  She came up the week before the party and stayed up late with me to get everything completed. I couldn't have pulled it off without her (and without my husband keeping the kids entertained!!)
