Amaya's birthday was over a month ago but I had so much fun planning the party I just had to share. I decided on a bright multicolored butterfly themed party. Perfect timing because everywhere I went butterflies were in full effect for spring. Overall, it was a great party, but I'm glad it's the last big party I have to plan....until sweet 16's.

I found this idea on Pintrest from http://karaspartyideas.blogspot.com/2011/09/sweet-butterfly-1st-birthday-party.html.

Cake table. I never got a better picture of the table and all my hard work but there were butterfly shaped pb&j and nutella and jam sandwiches, chocolate covered pretzels made with a butterfly mold, cereal snack bags tied in the middle with pipe cleaners to look like butterflies, my butterfly cupcakes, and the very inexpensive BJ's butterfly sheet cake.
My cute butterfly cupcakes. Super easy to make. I combined a bunch of ideas I found online and on Pintrest. The cupcakes were boxed cupcakes but I made the buttercream frosting from scratch.

Now on to Elyse's princess party. Have a lot of fun ideas for this one too, can't wait to share!
