jedi master aniken 1st birthday

My gorgeous little boy Aniken turned 1 yesterday. We had the most wonderful day and celebrated his birthday with our family and friends. It was months of planning but everything went so smoothly. It is so wonderful to be able to celebrate our child’s 1st birthday and to reminisce about the year gone and the wonderful memories we have shared over the last year!

The theme of the party had to be “Star Wars” as my son is named after one of the characters. Hubby was super excited about Anikens party as he a HUGE star wars fan. The scene was set up using shades of black, red and blue. Perhaps not your typical colours for little boys first birthday but we had to use colours inline with the star wars theme.

I bought Aniken a Darth Vader costume, I don’t think he could pull of the ‘mean’ vader look as he is the sweetest little boy :) so I had to change him into his super cute 'jedi master' hoodie.

We had inflatable light sabers for all the kids which they all loved & entirely enjoyed. The kids played ‘pin the light saber on a jedi’ game and the winner was presented with a ‘jedi certificate’. Few of the kids enjoyed star wars coloring, however the space cadets jumping castle was a hit.

As for the sweet treats, I organized a mini candy buffet with a colour palette of red/black/blue lollies. The R2D2 birthday cake was made by Catherine from 2bites, she did an amazing job. The personalized chocolates and chocolate pops were made by the very talented Niki from Candy Soirees. The star wookie cookies and delicious star feature cupcakes were made by my lovely sister inlaw Suzanna. The party bags had lots of yummy lollies for all the kids.

I would like to thank my gorgeous mum, hubby and dad for all their hard work. Mum did most of the food, I decorated the place and dad and hubby were in charge of setting up the outside area. Also I would like to thank my amazing sister in law Suzanna (Mon Tresor) who made the delicious cupcakes and super cute star wookie cookies.

Also I would like to thank few of my fellow blogger/facebook friends for making Anikens party complete. Firstly the lovely Niki from Candy Soirees for making the personalized chocolates and chocolate pops, they looked and tasted delicious. Also the talented Jordan from Polkadot Prints who designed the party labels, thank you so much.

Enjoy xx
