a 1st birthday party

[B]eing an event planner, I debated over themes for Rhys’s first birthday party for weeks. Well, agonized, really. Several ideas spun in my head, but in the end, I decided on scrapping a theme altogether. It’s a 1 year-old’s party. Why over think it? There’s such beauty in simplicity. What’s the sense in elaborate decorations that go unnoticed by the guest of honor? And besides, I want Rhys to understand and enjoy the theme of his parties. And so, all my ideas are stored in the party theme vault, to be released at a later (birth)date.

Remember the bright, simple, colorful birthday parties we had when we were little? Well, kids, I’m bringin’ them back. A little less rainbow, and little more retro, here’s a peek at Rhys’s first birthday party. I decided to just rent a bouncy castle hire near me so that the kids won’t get bored throughout the day.
