I like getting creative with recipes, which is great for cooking, but not for baking. We had animals toys scattered all through out the party wearing little paper party hats we made, and two pink lawn flamingos in hats greeting party guests at the entrance.Īlright, now I am NOT a baker.
Washi tape was a colorful alternative to clear tape, and we found that it stuck much better to the fence and garage door. Each letter got two hole punches towards the top and I strung them together with a piece of baker’s twine. The banners were made using a simple block letter cut out of a rectangle of colorful cardstock. The cake table was meant to be the focal point with the three stuffed animal heads in party hats and a a mix and match of crepe paper, tissue paper balls, balloons and garlands. Most of the decorations were from Target and IKEA and I made the rest. I wanted the decorations to look more like animals were throwing a party instead of looking like a safari/animal print theme.
I wanted the decorations to be bright, colorful and fun, similar to the colors in Teddy’s zoo themed nursery. I embellished the back of the invite with some pretty washi tape across the flap, stamped it with a custom return address stamp and chose a pretty stamp that matched the color scheme of the party. The envelopes were addressed with a fun lettering style using The Lettermate to help with spacing.

First, I created a PNG of the cute little Panda Bear available for free download here. I designed the invitation myself using Adobe Illustrator. The recycled matte paper is my favorite, because it is nice and thick for invitations. THE INVITESįor my invitations, my go-to place is Vista Print, it is fast, easy to upload your own design and really cheap. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. This post contains Amazon affiliated links for your convenience. It just so happens that everything was the EXACT colors I wanted, so I bought everything they had! I was bummed for a little bit, but decided just to embrace it and expand on it. I finalized my decision, made the invitations, sent them in the mail and then my sister tells me that my “creative” party animal theme was in the Target Dollar section, which meant every Target-obsessed mom would be doing the same party theme in the near future. That is when I thought of a Party Animal theme. I wanted to do something more unique, but still involved bears somehow because we call Teddy our little bear. Since I had Teddy I always pictured us having a “Baby Bear” themed outdoorsy party for him, but as we got closer to his birthday it seemed like every single person on Instagram was having a “Wild One” woodland theme party. I really stressed about finding the perfect theme for Teddy’s first birthday party. I cannot believe my little baby just turned one year old!
