Brooks and I have been very busy working on Gavin's party the past few weeks and are excited to have all of our family coming in town as well as having our friends come over to celebrate with us. I went today and bought all the food, drinks, & last minute party supplies (candles, icing colors, balloons, etc) for the party. Also, I'm making Gavin's Birthday Cakes so I've put myself on a strict schedule of what I need to accomplish each day in order to be prepared for Saturday.
While planning Gavin's party, there were two things I knew for sure: the theme was going to be monkeys and his invitations were going to have pictures of Gavin from every month of his life leading up to him turning one. Two years ago, one of my friends had an invitation made that showed pictures of her little boy from every month of his life and I was obsessed with the idea! I loved it! What a great way to celebrate your child's first birthday! Ever since getting that invitation, I've always said I was going to do that for Gavin's first birthday. So, in June, I started searching websites and stores to find the perfect invitation. I finally found it at And Everything Nice. The girl I worked with was AMAZING!! She got these invitations made in like 2 days because she was going on vacation. We sent me proofs, we made changes, she sent me more proofs, and did an AWESOME job making it look just the way I wanted it too! She even added the little monkey onto the invitation for me! Which made my day! So check her out-- she does EVERYTHING- Christmas cards, birth announcements, and much more! I told her I had a personal blog and she sent me Gavin's invitation in a file so that I could post it on here-- she even thought to change the personal information, in case someone we didn't know comes across my blog-- then they won't have our information. (I'm sure it was also to make sure I didn't have any more invitations printed on my own.) Needless to say, they turned out perfect and we couldn't be happier!!
