In addition to the invitations, I also helped out with some of the decorations for Emmett's first birthday party. Chau found a local baker who did such a fabulous job with the beautiful cake, smash cake, and the cutest cupcakes ever! Chau and her sister also worked really hard to put all the extra details together, and her mom and extended family made tons of homemade Vietnamese food that was so delicious. Let me say, this family knows how to throw a party! And I have to mention that Chau and Quoc have a gorgeous home that is just perfect for throwing parties. :)
For Emmett's birthday present, I decided to make him a felt version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar that included felt pieces of all the fruits and junk foods that the caterpillar ate. I'll share more details and a printable DIY in a follow-up post. :)

ReplyDeleteAww.. it was a fun (but exhausting!) day. Emmett took an extra long nap that day :) Thank you for coming early and helping out. I couldn't have done without you (and Dean with his measuring stick!)
