Planning an Ice Cream 1st Birthday Party with Basic Invite
It’s hard to believe that my twins are about to be 1-year-old in just a few short weeks. On one hand, the last year has absolutely flown by. On the other hand, so much has happened this year that it sometimes feels like it’s lasted a decade. Fast or slow, the fact remains. Soon my last babies will be 1. It’s a lot for my heart to take.
Because of all that we have going on right now, I honestly didn’t know if we would be able to have a birthday party for them. (Gasp! The horror! I know this sounds like sacrilege for me.) However, recently a couple of things came together and made me feel like it could happen, and it needed to happen. So I’ve spent the last weeks in party planning mode in every spare minute that I’ve had.
Since Jonah and Jordan were born on July 27th, at the height of summer, I decided awhile ago that the party theme would be “Ice Cream.” I’ve been having so much fun pulling all sorts of sweet ice cream details together. We are going to have a beautiful ice cream cone balloon arch, “ice cream ball” water balloons, and a visit from an ice cream truck!
As always, we will be ordering our invitations from my favorite, Basic Invite. I’ve been using their invitations for our celebrations for years because I just love all of their options so much. Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once they select a design, customers can change the color of each element on the card. With over 180 colors to choose from, the invite is sure to be exactly how they want it. This is what sets us apart from almost any other online stationery company.
Their custom samples and huge selection of envelope color options are some of the other features that I love about their options. There are so many parties happening at this time of year and Basic Invite has you covered for bridal shower invitations, thank you cards for bridal shower or whatever other parties you’ve got coming up. They are also offering 15% off of everything until the end of the money. Use code: 15FF51.

So it’s time for me to get back to planning and I can’t wait to come back here soon to show you the final result of all of my efforts. My last 1st Birthday Party planning! That is until I have grandkids anyway… 😉
