Nixon turned 1 on Feb. 28th. We had his party the following Saturday, March 3rd. I had decided early on that I wanted to do a little man mustache bash. I tried to use aqua's and grey's for the colors, and used anything striped/chevron striped. I knew I wanted ties, bow ties and mustaches mixed into the decorations. I used Pinterest a lot for inspiration, and Nic swears that he didn't have a wife for a couple months leading up to the party. (It's true, I was wrapped up in birthday stuff for way too long!) I have decided that I am buying dollar store crap from now on instead of spending months making it all :) It was all worth it though. We had a fun little party for our little man. We love him and are so proud of him. We feel so lucky that he chose us as his parents. We love you Nixie boy!
I took these pictures a couple weeks before the party so I could send them in the invites. Nic made me an awesome backdrop from a tutorial we found on Pinterest. It was made from PVC pipe. The striped fabric is our shower curtain. The wood "floor" is actually just paper, and then we bought a strip of crown molding for the baseboard.
