You Are My Sunshine Yellow Turquoise Theme Party



{ :: Above photos courtesy of DCPG Photography :: They did uhhh mazing job, wait till you see Kaylee's photoshoot pictures, will post behind the scene soon!}

Our friend carved this watermelon into a cute little teapot, Love the K in the middle! She also craved a stroller for our baby shower here too! 
I did not have to cook a single dish! Our friend from Minneapolis came and became a chef for the day so mommy can play host.
Thanks Nhi for taking time and making this yummy papaya salad for us to enjoy!

Cake stand look familiar? Here is the diy We had a total of 4 cakes total!! Holy sweetness!

These letters were printed on regular paper and glued to Martha Stewart card stock paper.  (thank you  Lester for this photo!

I designed all labels, posters and Kaylee's invites. Invites were printed online and everything else from a local printer. 


Sneak peek from Kaylee's photoshoot from DCPG! Our newborn photographer came just before the party and took some beautiful photos of our sunshine. Will share photos soon. 


2 Months of planning for our sweet baby first birthday. Everything turned out perfect and so beautifully.  I had so much fun designing all the labels, my friend and I made the pompoms and husband and I put together the bunting. I ordered the straws on etsy and the straw holders were reuse Starbucks glass. Yellow chevron as a backdrop was from fabric.com. 

Thanks for stopping by, will share part 2 and 3 soon!

    My friend from Bravoe Runway is right, your preparation really paid off! And Kaylee is so cute--but her coolest feature is that you can already see in her eyes that she's thinking. I'm betting she's a very bright little girl.

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
