1st Birthday Party: B-E-F-O-R-E

I sent Sean to his nanny...to ensure he has his morning nap and lunch. Oh ya, I decided to have the party in the afternoon so that the children (that are invited) won't get too "hyper" after then LOL Actually, sending him to nanny also enable me to have time to decorate the restaurant and talk to the guest.

Honestly, I have lots of ideas to decorate his party BUT...time is the main constrain. Hubb has been on the road very frequent and that leave me very little time to work on it. The ideas that I had require lots of scrapbook time. In the end, I have to stay put to have things simple.

What do I come out with?? Nothing fancy, honestly. Almost the same as what I did for Ern's:

--> His first 12 months photos

I sticked the photos on his rompers, singlets, hat and booties. Save me lots of time in cutting.

Month 1-6


Month 7-12


I printed out triangle flags that has the number "1", glue them on the satay sticks and put on the food.

I managed to have the whole restaurant (2 floors) booked as our private function. This certainly enable personalized decoration, both from the owner of the restaurant and myself.

Ground floor: Reserved for guest without small children

The owner put up the 'happy birthday Sean" wordings at the food corner. Since it's near to Chinese New Year, he also put up lots of cherry blossom (fake one, of course).


The desert corner was nicely arranged and decorated. Actually, one of the reasons that I booked this place was they serve quite good taste desert! haha



First floor: For guest with small children

The balloons that were tie to the chairs (love them!).



The door entrance - I bought the banner and print out the alphabet on Sean's name.



There is small corner for guest to chill out!
