First Birthday Party...Pig Themed

We celebrated Erin's 1st birthday party on the Sunday after her birthday. Gma & Gpa Camp were super gracious and let us use their home.

I decided on a pig theme for her party because I used to collect pig things and I didn't want to spend much money. Plus it's naturally pink and girly!

This pig cork board (complete with pig push pins!) made for a fun way to welcome guests. It features a newborn pic, 6 month pic, and 1 year pic of Erin.


The fireplace was decorated with stuffed pigs, a homemade photo banner with some of my favorite Instagram pics, a couple framed photos, and a couple Shutterfly photo books of Erin.



Another Instagram banner was strung across the wide doorway into the living room.


Pink balloons decked out like pig faces were hung above the dining room table. (Funny pig faces courtesy of Drew.)


I made Erin's piggy smash cake.


Plus little piggy cupcakes for the guests!


Erin only nibbled at her cake. She was more interested in feeding me. I made this pig party hat for Erin. Gma Oelrich made the sweet personalized pig onesie! 




The meal consisted of lasagna, garlic bread, green beans, fresh fruit, cupcakes, and punch. I made little bags of a snack mix (plus a photo of Erin) for favors.


Erin's favorite people made it to her party (with a few missing). We are so blessed to have such wonderful, loving families nearby and we miss the ones that live far away!



Erin was showered with great birthday gifts! She wasn't really into opening them, but Brodyn did an awesome job helping her out!






I love these photos of Erin with some of her aunts & uncles!






And a family picture! Erin's face cracks me up :)


All in all...it was a low-key and relaxing little gathering to celebrate our baby girl. What a joy she has been to our lives!!

  2. Erin looks very cute with that birthday hat on. Yesterday was my son’s first birthday. Being busy for the week, we have arranged a party for the weekend. 1st birthdays are special so the party is going to be grand. Lots of relatives are flying in. We’ve booked a spacious party space at one of the home studios NYC.
