Okay, so E's first birthday party is not for another two weeks, which makes me happy because I have so much to do. (Besides, I really can't believe he's almost a year old.) I'm super excited for our dinosaur theme, though it seems his birthday outfit doesn't fit and the sign I ordered wasn't printed right. Oh well. I thought I'd make up for that with a little DIY project that doesn't seem to have turned out too badly.
I made a high chair banner to go around his high chair at the party. It was pretty simple - some scrapbooking paper, cardstock, a plastic cup (for the circles), ribbon, scissors, and a glue stick. I didn't have the presence of mind to take pictures throughout the process, but here is the finished product:
I actually quite like the way it turned out. Who needs a yard sign when you have a high chair banner?
I also want to do a time capsule at his party. I plan to put 3x5 cards together with binder rings and have guests write notes to Emmett as they arrive. The book will go into his time capsule, along with some pictures and a few other keepsakes from his first year. I haven't yet decided when I'll let him open this time capsule. Perhaps when he goes on his mission, gets married, or has a child of his own.
