Purple Beginnings

My FIRST child's FIRST birthday party. It was a generic-buy-the-party-package theme, but I tried to have us all dressed in some sort of purple to match my daughter's darling lavender outfit. The centerpieces were original (and cheap!): baby bottles filled with candy and decorated with ribbon and a small balloon. The favors were also decorated baby bottles filled with candy. I was pregnant with our second child at the time, so we included a "God Bless Our Baby" cake. I decorated a plastic tube with purple tissue, silver ribbon, and a Welcome Baby sign. The party was in a huge hall so we had a small kid zone with toys and play mat.
