Birthday Parties

Dream Birthday Party for an April Girl

Louis’ little friend Flora is turning one soon!

She’s an April baby, and, being an April girl myself, I happen to know that her birth stone is diamond. So what better theme for her first birthday party than Breakfast at Tiffany’s!? LOVE it! My mind is teeming with ideas.

There are a ton of gorgeous Tiffany’s-inspired invitations available on Etsy. Here are the ones I like best (click on the pic for sources):

And to eat? Breakfast/brunch is the perfect way to celebrate a child’s birthday party. Children are at their best in the morning and you can make a gorgeous brunch set-up without having to make too many things yourself. I want to do a classic breakfast with croissants, mimosas, cappuccinos, maybe muesli parfaits, and cupcakes and macarons to satisfy the guests’ sweet tooth:

I’ve had these dreamy diamond ring cupcakes in my head since I saw them in Martha Stewart Weddings way back when. Also yummy – mini diamond ring cookies!

Decor? How about Tiffany-blue bunting, poms and balloons?

I found these Tiffany’s-inspired favor boxes on Etsy, that I think will be perfect. If I was feeling crafty (craftier) I would try making these in tiffany blue.

I wish I was a better seamstress (and had time to sew) because little Flora would be a dream in this DIY Audrey Hepburn-inspired party dress with a little string of pearls and black ballerina slippers (and big baby sunglasses)! Luckily, there is a perfect tutu for sale on Etsy!

Check out this first birthday party with a Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme on On to Baby. This sparkly version is fabulous too.

  2. I love this party. I am gah gah over Tiffany and I am besotted by the turquiose color. I am loving the photos of little Miss Audrey. Thanks for sharing

  • Nonie doing a bit of reading (bike helmet user instructions) before heading out this morning.
  • For their last Mini 4H class today, the children groomed one of the ponies and then each got to go for a spin around the little farm. Louis will definitely attend another session of Mini 4H when there is one. He has loved going to learn about the animals each week.
  • Alec and Léonie had the best time playing together while Louis was at Mini 4H today. They spent almost an hour with this cart, working together and having so much fun.
  • When you somehow manage to get everyone out the door on time (Even a little bit early! On a Monday!) and spend the rest of the morning wondering what you missed.
  • Sunday morning in the garden. There has been so much going on that it feels like we haven't seen the children properly in days. So a slow Sunday morning, with lots of free play, a long lazy breakfast of berry smoothies and french toast, and some garden "work" was exactly what we needed. #suburbanbliss #sundaymorning
  • Nonie Pony playing while Louis is at mini 4H. She didn't nap today since she had a hard time settling in in the big stroller in the park so she was practically cross-eyes already when I picked her up. But Wednesdays at 4H have become a highlight for all of us the last few weeks.
  • Good morning suburbia! And the summer that won't stop. A little morning walk between dropping off Alec at school and going back to school for parent/teacher conference. 💛💛💛
  • My favourite month! Autumn is here but it's still warm and lovely. The kids were so suprised that it was dark when they went to bed this evening. They don't seem to remember how bad Swedish winters are because they were shocked when I told them it will soon be dark when we pick them up from school in the afternoon. I'm wondering if we will still feel like taking this shortcut through the cemetary then (which is actually a longer way that I take so that I don't have walk Léonie and Louis by the playground on the way from the bus to Alec's school).
  • Cake for breakfast! We rounded off our whirlwind weekend in the country with birthday celebrations for cousin Dante who turned 8!
  • Breakfast in the library this morning. The grown-ups' crayfish party went on pretty late last night but the kids had us (and by "us" I mean Sumit) up bright and early as usual.
