Prince Luke's Royal 1st Birthday

This was such an adorable theme to plan - My Godson's 1st Little Prince Birthday party!  Luke's mom knew she wanted a Prince themed birthday for her son's 1st birthday.  This will probably sound like the funniest thing to some - a napkin was what kicked off the design for this theme. It wasn't just any napkin, it was a beautiful black/white damask crown print napkin that Luke's mom had to have.  I don't think I captured a good picture of it but you'll see a glimpse of it later on this post.

That gave me enough to go on the search for an invite, which of course had to include black and white, yet still contain some fun colors since this was a kids birthday party...  and I found it!  Where else?  Etsy of course!

Brooke from Beenesprout beenesprout on Etsy created this awesome design!  The yellow and blue hues added a fun element to the black and white design.

I created this sign to hang on the door.  My favorite part of this sign was the royal number 1 with a crown on it.  Brooke from Beenesprout came up with the super cute Royal 1 design on the printables she designed, which you'll get to see later.  And here you see the Royal 1 again as part of the back drop for the cake table!!  Too adorable not to carry throughout the entire party - ohhhh these are those moments that just bring pure Bliss!

Table before all the goodies were added.  Banner made with Pretty Pennants Cricut catridge.

 Cake table included cake pops, mini cupcakes and an assortment of popcorn.  The birthday boy's banner adorned the table front.  I made the banner with damask print and yellow and turquoise colored paper.

Isn't this cake majestic?!  Jen's cakes did an amazing job yet again.  I'm a huge believer in the cake being one of the focal points of any party.  This cake definitely was!

Mini cupcakes embellished with gold crowns and treat bags labeled with two different designs matched the invite.  There's that royal 1 again...

And now the reveal of the Prince's Birthday throne - Tadaa!!  I still remember the day I got the vision of converting Luke's highchair into a throne with a backdrop where he would be the focus.  I shared my thoughts with Luke's mom and we ran with the idea.  The throne was framed with tulle and a large crown wall decal that gave it the perfect touch.

Close up of the highchair birthday throne made by Luke's mommy.  If you look at the back of the chair she added a cloak to the back - wasn't that brilliant.  A royal carpet sat in front of the high chair  as well to complete the Prince's throne.







Centerpieces made with these gorgeous fabric wrapped damask boxes I found at TJ Maxx.  I saw them and had to buy them!  Didn't know how I would incorporate them into the centerpieces when I got them but knew I had to make them work.  And they did! 

I created two different tags for each side of the box using the Cricut princess party cartridge.  It included a few crown designs which is what I used for the background image.  I personalized the tags with a number 1 and Prince Luke to tie in with the theme.  We then topped each box with gold crowns and had balloon bouquets coming out of each one.  The balloons gave the room a fun and festive feel.

Here's a slight glimpse of the napkin that I mentioned earlier - can you see the crown?  If you look really hard you'll find it...



The party favors were treat bags filled with chocolate.  The tags were made to match the invite design as well.  Super cute!
