Ladybug 1st Birthday Party Inspiration

This past weekend we celebrated my little niece, Claire's 1st birthday.  So far it seems Claire's lot in life is to be surrounded by lots of love & amazingly themed parties (remember Marie's baby shower before Claire was born? - refresh your memory here).  Claire's party was chockfull of every little lady bug detail you can imagine thanks to the imagination of her mom (Marie!) & labors of love by both of her grandmothers.  Take a peek there's a table cloth with hand cut felt lady bug spots (over 300 of them!), a ladybug cake, ladybug cupcakes & even ladybug deviled eggs plus all the other accessories that coordinated perfectly like cutlery & party hats.

If you're planning a lady bug first birthday party this is a great place to be inspired!

PS: Happy birthday to my fabulous sister-in-law, Truly! I love you girl :)

How cute are these cupcakes?

This tablecloth was ladybug perfection. My mother-in-law made it with handcut self-stick felt - genius!

Just when you thought deviled eggs couldn't get any better - they got cuter & more ladybug-like.

Because Claire needed to have her cake & cupcakes too - all ladybug themed & homemade.

Do you see the little polka dots on the "1" - every detail was so special.

Polka dots are the perfect pattern for an accessory.

Can't not have dots on the socks too.

I just love this little hand!

The birthday girl herself!
