Pink Pink Pink Birthday Party Inspiration


So so so in love with this sweet girly pink first birthday spread!

The top photo has a great backdrop make of ruffled fabric, with hanging paper fans above in hot pink and white. Tiered white platters and trays are perfect for pink and white pastries and sweets. Some pink and white strands of beads draped around give some visual interest.

Little pink and white gourmet cookies decorated with variations of first birthday cakes, initials, and more are great favors.

Every first birthday needs a smoosh cake! Pink rosettes and they best pink tutu keep the theme, only second to that fabulous cake face (Seriously, that's the same face I make when I see cake ).

Since I'm preparing to get back into the 21 Day Fix starting on January 15 (with the new 80 Day Obsession plan!), I'm going to enjoy the chicken and green beans only, while the rest of the family will have egg noodles with their chicken.
