It seemed like just yesterday that I was writing Ava’s birth story and here we are with a one year old. I am so beyond excited to finally show off all of the fun details of Ava's First Birthday party! If you didn't already see the backstory on her birthday party, here it is:

Ava was born on Pi Day - 3.14 - so to go along with that theme, we did a pi and pie themed birthday party with vintage chic party decor. Her first birthday invitations were full of pi and math symbols and instead of doing a first birthday cake smash, we had to stick with the theme and do a pie smash. Well...we gave her an entire pie to do a pie smash but she didn't want to have anything to do with it. So instead, we got some pretty hilarious photos of that attempt.

We set up a gorgeous vintage pie bar with seven different flavors of pie and of course, what would a party be without a vintage mimosa bar? We had guests fill out birthday mad libs where they included a letter to Ava at the end. Those letters will all be given to her on her 18th birthday so get ready for some mama waterworks that day! We didn't read any of the letters - they're all saved for Ava's eyes only :)

Every single detail of her party was perfection and the friends and family who came from near and far to celebrate made her big day even more special. So if you're in need of any great fun first birthday party ideas, take a scroll down to see everything we did!

And finally, a huge thank you to every single company, shop and vendor who went above and beyond for Ava's first birthday. If you need any ideas or are planning any parties (or weddings!), head on over to check them out because they're all absolutely AMAZING!
