Let’s Par-Tee

April 10, 2022

Teddy mastered his first year, and the Dolls put together a birthday par-tee to celebrate. Keep reading for all the details on The Masters theme… it was a hole-in-one!

For the décor we envisioned a sweet pale yellow and a bold Masters theme. We carried this vision from the invitations throughout the main event. You already know we pulled out all the stops for our baby bestie.

You can shop our looks from head to toe when you click here. Teddy’s CUTE bubble is from Smocked Auctions. We all rocked Masters Green!

We’ll spill the deets on our first WOW moment of the party. The gorgeous balloon décor was done by our Doll at Confetti Wish. We’ve worked with Vanessa countless times and she’s our go-to. Our Marquee Letters were created by the one and only – Alpha Lit Chicago (Follow on Instagram for inspo and make an inquiry on the website). Only appropriate to include since we first worked together for the pregnancy announcement!

We put in a lot of time and care to planning each little detail… but for party time we are all about living in the moment. We joked waking up that day felt like Christmas morning – so excited to see all our friends and family. We planned a menu that we knew all our guests would love! Printing out the signage and placing it with each section helps elevate the look and feel of the party… we also couldn’t resist coming up with these fun little names for everything.

We worked with Toni Patisserie on the sweetest custom desserts! Look at how beautiful and creative they are. SWOON. The smash cake was a white cake with vanilla buttercream filling and fondant finish. For our guests we opted for bite-sized goodies. 18  vanilla cake pops, 12 chocolate cupcakes, 12 red velvet cupcakes and 15 cookies. Since we knew these would be such a show-stopper we decided to create a dessert table. We found this checked tablecloth online and included a poster of Teddy’s milestones. We used our Mackenzie Childs serving platters and thought they were perfectly reminiscent of Augusta’s azaleas.

The charcuterie board and veggie tray (ahem manicured greens) were SO perfect. Again, something for everyone. They also looked divine. Boards by Kelly delivered these before the party.

Our Pro Tips to enjoying the party

  • Finish set up as early as you can
  • Doll yourself up, be dressed and ready one hour before the party starts
  • Take photos before the party so you don’t forget
  • Order PIZZA! Everyone loves pizza, it’s iconic, and it gets delivered hot during the party. We went with our Chi-town favorite Lou Malnati’s. They also have gluten-free options for your guests.
  • Say no to dishes. We did disposable plates, silverware and cups.

Capture the memories! We did a photo booth and it was THE. BEST. DECISION! Everyone loved snapping a pic or creating boomerangs. Sweet Pea Photo Booth was unbelievable to work with. We even got to customize the start screen and the frame! Can it get any cuter?!

About

Once upon a time... there were two best friends that lived in a Dollhouse. That's where the story began. While the pages of this digital storybook keep turning, one thing remains the same. Caitlin and Dani are by each other's side through the ups, downs and all the realness in between.
