Beckham’s 1st Birthday! {A Pirate Party}

I don’t often write about my own personal life here on the Pink Piggy blog but of course I had to share my son, Beckham’s, first birthday party! To pull off this Nautical Pirate Party I had in my head I called on one of my good friends and event designer extraordinaire, Mara with LMG Events. She is hands down the best planner to work with in Utah! So creative, fun and professional! Working in the wedding and social industry I do a lot of designing and am pretty good at putting together a visual display, but even with my own talents I couldn’t have done this without Mara! If you are planning any type of party from a birthday party to a wedding… leave it up to the professional and don’t stress about it!!

I seriously started planning Beck’s party when he was six months old! I know… my husband still thinks I’m crazy! I’m so completely obsessed with anything nautical, striped and navy right now that I knew I wanted to incorporate those details into the party and also do a different take on the traditional black and red pirate scheme. Mara helped me come up with the idea of doing a “sweets bar” that had color coordinating candies, cupcakes and a pirate birthday cake {designed by Pink Peach Cakes}! I designed all of the custom candy labels and the darling mini candy bar wrappers! We also did a drink bar with darling sparkling juices by Izze and custom water small water bottles with Beck’s Birthday logo on them. And of course I designed his nautical pirate invitations with matching custom skull stamps… A MUST! I also did the cute origami boats with each kids name on the flag as place settings and favors for all of Beck’s friends to take home!

And a very big thank you to the amazing Aubrey with AubPhotography for shooting Beckham’s 1st Birthday pics at Utah Lake and for capturing all the details of the party! I totally recommend hiring a professional photographer to shoot your kids birthday parties! It’s so worth it to not have to worry about taking pictures of everything and being able to just enjoy the day! Thank you so much to all of the fantastic vendors involved!
