Our little girl (MC) had her first birthday this past weekend. I made an effort to have it be a "green" budget friendly party.1) I bought no paper products! We had 12 family members there and I have 12 place settings, so no need for paper plates.
2) Made the cupcakes and decorated them. This eliminated the waste of the box from a store bought cake. Savings $$
3) Send e-vite rather than paper invitations. Free!
4) Gathered together photos of the attendee with MC, framed them and placed the picture at the table as seating assignments. It provided for conversation starter and brought back happy memories of the first year. Using frames from around the house gave the table and eclectic look. Another no cost decorating option.
We had beautiful 65 degree day in February. It was a simple happy day.
Toddler here were come!
