First Birthday Party Food

For Melody's First Birthday Party, I really struggled with what food to have at her party.  We knew we would have cake and an ice cream sundae buffet, but I wasn't really sure what to do about other food or if I should even have other food.  We planned to have about 30 people or so, and we opted for a party at 2 pm.  So we knew we would not need heavy food, but I wanted some sort of appetizers for everyone to snack on.  I contemplated continuing with the ice cream theme, but I wasn't exactly sure how to do that.  So we opted for some various finger foods.  I also was sure to include a few things I knew Melody and some of the other kids could have.

Ice Cream Cone Favors

Melody's first birthday party was an ice cream themed party.  I wanted to do some cute favors to go along with the theme.  I found all kinds of things I considered doing.  I went back and forth on which type of favors to do.  Do I do fun favors?  Do I do edible favors?  Do I do favors I can make weeks in advance?  Do I do favors I have to make the day before?  So many decisions.  In the end I decided I wanted what was going to be the cutest!

Melody is ONE!

Melody turned one May 25!  She celebrated with a party earlier that week, but on her actual birthday we were able to celebrate with her just the three of us.  Here is how her day went!
