Ethan's First Birthday Inspiration


Guess what?!  It's MAY!  Which means Ethan's first birthday is NEXT MONTH!!  Eeeeek!  And this Mama is way behind on the planning!  

The weekend of Ethan's first birthday is actually his Aunt Lauren's wedding {he can't wait to be the ring bearer!} so we decided the following weekend would be best for his birthday party.  It also happens to be the weekend after 4th of July!  So naturally, I decided that a backyard patriotic party was definitely the way to go.  I'm thinking hot dogs and sand boxes and lots of tasty treats.  Check out my inspiration board below:


Ok, and maybe a tent too!  ;)

You can check out my Pinterest Board for more ideas and sources.

Guess I better get planning!!
