James & Luca's Big Top Birthday

When I started to think about celebrating James & Luca's first birthday, a circus party was the first that came to mind. We affectionately call our home "the circus show" - with three boys, 3 and under, there's a lot of messy and crazy going on behind the scenes. A circus party not only seemed like an appropriate theme, but was also the perfect platform to celebrate our boys - bright, fun, loud and full of personality. As a stationery designer, I let the invitation design guide the rest of the party and decor, and am so thrilled with how the whole party turned out. The best part was that James & Luca were loved on by our friends and family, and that as a family, we were able to celebrate a big milestone in our boys' lives.
