Centerpieces
Centerpieces are a very important part of a party in my mind. They can hold many important rolls. Some tell us who is the birthday girl, how old, favorite cartoon character, or simple hold the goodies. When I got married I had millions of ideas, we ended up with cooper lanterns in river rocks, but for Khloe's birthday I'm kinda stumped. I can go with a classic cardboard cutout of the number one or I can create my own.
The simple and cheap way to go is take down my museum of Khloe and put it on the table. We have millions of pictures of her and how can you find something any cuter. The only problem with this is I do not want to transport all of my frames to San Diego.
Here are a couple of fun ideas I came across.

Looks tough but super cute. You don't have to make them flowers they can also hang.
But what will I do with the fish after? Think Petco will rent them to me? Haha
Personlized Soda
Kinda expensive but such a cool party favor!
Rice Krispies flowers
Cheap and easy. Just make sure the bugs don't get them
Birthday hats and balloons. Classic!
Or maybe just my cupcake stand I plan on making them myself!
I need your help to decide. So many cute options!

Tissue Paper Pom Poms
Thank you Martha Steward for the great ideas! I plan on making these for the patio and over the buffet table. Walmart has tissue paper for $.97 and Target has them for $.99. I hope I can find a big pack of Valentine tissue paper at our local craft store. I know Joanne has a 50% coupon online. I'm thinking 1 giant Pom and 6 large Poms for the patio and 5 small ones for the buffet table that will be setup inside.
How to make the Pom Poms:
You'll need 8 sheets (1 package) of tissue paper for each pom pom, fishing line and some floral wire.
1. Stack your 8 sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2 inch wide accordian folds, creasing with each fold.
2. Fold an 18 piece of floral wire in half, and slip over the center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.
3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
4. Tie a length of fishing line to floral wire so you can hang them.

And it begins...
Khloe's 1st birthday is officially 1 month away and it is time to start planning the extravaganza. We are not sure on the location yet. We can stay here in Utah or we can make the trip to San Diego. Most of our friends and family are in San Diego. As long as the fund are available we will be enjoying Khloe's party at my parents house.
Coming up with a theme is much harder than I thought. 1st was a Minni Mouse Birthday, 2nd was a Cupcake theme and 3rd was a girlishly pink party. Thanks to Valentines day I have an endless supply or pink, white and red decor. I can't wait to hit up Targets $1 bin to find favors.
Can't wait to start!
