it's party time

Well, not quite yet.

Miss Z will be turning 1 in a few weeks time and I'm organising a little garden party for just our immediate family to celebrate.

I've ordered the above gorgeous things from this place. I'll be sending out the invites tomorrow and next on my list is to start planning the bbq lunch menu and of course the cupcakes.....am undecided on what to do there yet. I might have to get some recipe ideas from The Red Deer herself! (Hint, hint, nudge, nudge Alicia!! Oh and I wish you lived in Sydney!!)

I'll also be making up some little party bags for Z's cousins who will be coming. I've got pink, white and turquoise ones, with gift tags and ribbon to tie. They should look really sweet.

So stay tuned for party developments. I can't wait to take some pics of the actual day itself. We will finally be making use of our backyard and the new outdoor furniture and bbq we just bought!

Now all I need is the perfect garden party birthday dress.....any great suggestions?
