For Nathaniel's 1st birthday I decided to do a Dr Seuss themed party. It was so fun and easy to decorate for. We decorated with Cat in the Hat hats filled with tissue paper so they'd stand up. Then put Dr Seuss books all over the table.
I made jell-o in cups then added some Swedish Fish to make them look like the fish in
For the cupcakes I frosted them then topped them with blue cotton candy so they looked like thing 1 and thing 2. Another pointer add the cotton candy right when people get there. It melts FAST! Really if I was to do it again I would add the cotton candy right when people started eating them.
I made him a smash cake to look like the Hat from Cat in the Hat. He demolished it! He didn't mess around at all! We eventually had to take it away because I'm pretty sure he would have eaten it all!
We had the Dr Seuss Happy Birthday to you book sitting out so everyone could sign it.
It was such a fun birthday party! We had such a blast!
My friend at Darling Deuce Designs made Nathaniel's adorable onesie. It was so perfect!
the Cat in the Hat story. They looked super cute... but after they sit with that fish in there that fish is super soggy... Trust me you just do it for the looks and toss it out after!
It was such a fun birthday party! We had such a blast!
Only Dr. Seuss party I've attended. AWESOME! Michelle also had a book for guests to write a note in for our Birthday Boy. I made up a Dr. Seuss-like poem. Had fun with doing it...Not awful, but kinda dorky. MOM did a fantastic job. The party was really fun, even for a not-so-young great aunt. Soooo creative!!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this Dr Seuss 1st birthday party was a blast. The cute addition of fish from Cat in the Hat story is praise worthy. You are just a rocking mom! I will also try these ideas for my son’s birthday bash and will prefer hosting it at one of the rental San Francisco venues.
