A New Birthday Tradition: Initial Candy Dishes

BirthdayAmy WileyComment

Most of the birthday traditions in our home date back to my son’s first birthday. I was so excited to start celebrating and researched all kinds of ideas. While we still honor many traditions we started back then, this year I introduced a new way to celebrate the “birthday person” in our home. I think you might want to celebrate this way too!

My son just turned 11 and he is just so hungry.  All the time.  He's a bottomless pit.  So when he suggested a pizza theme for his birthday party I thought it was perfect!  We started with these invitations and it just got more fun from there.  This was a family party, since our family is a party in itself!

We had the most delicious vanilla cake with caramel filling from Sugar Bakeshop in Denver.

I love all the pizza toppings around the side!  I always order personalized napkins for my kids' birthday parties.

For the tables I used a combination of pizza decorations, things I had on hand, and pizza supplies from the grocery store.

At the last minute I decided to make place cards and give everyone a pizza-themed nickname.  I edited out the last names but you get the idea!

The coffee bar had lots of birthday love too, including pizza string lights.

Dinner could not have been easier for this one.  I just ordered from our favorite local pizza place and added a salad.

I picked up little craft kits from the Valentine's section at Hobby Lobby.  The kids all took a long time coloring and creating these and they turned out super cute.

For favors we did pizza keychains, necklaces and sticker sheets.

Custom stickers on cello bags wrapped these up nicely.
