My next winning party feature goes to this fabulous RED & AQUA SOCK MONKEY 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Vanessa Coppola of The Crafty Nest! Oh how I love the classic Sock Monkey. The Sock Monkey party theme will always be a favorite of mine. Vanessa did such a great job {no wonder she's the admin at The Crafty Nest}!
Vanessa said...."We celebrated Logan's 1st birthday with a red and aqua sock monkey themed party. Guests were greeted at the door with a sock monkey wreath and hand painted ONE letters, finished off with mini bunting to match the decor inside. Instead of a traditional guestbook, guests signed The Happy Birthday Book by Dr.Seuss and wrote wishes for Logan's time capsule that will be opened on his 18th birthday. I made most of the decorations, including a monthly photo banner and handmade party hats. Guests enjoyed decorating their own sock monkey and scooping up monkey treats at the candy buffet, that included handmade sock monkey cookies and cake pops. The sock monkey cake matched the graphics used throughout the party and I made the mini flag bunting that sat on top. The antique red highchair was a yard sale find and I added mini flag bunting to it that matched the bunting above the candy buffet table. The birthday boy wore an adorable sock mo nkey romper that matched the hand sewn table runners. Post-cake smash, Logan changed into a sock monkey shirt that I made him using felt and embroidery thread. Everyone had a blast and it was the perfect way to celebrate Logan's 1st year of life!"
Thanks for your submission, Vanessa! Congratulations on being chosen as a winning party feature!

this is adorable! have you seen the sock monkey costume from chasing fireflies-it would be perfect for this theme! :)
You're right, Susan! The chasing fireflies costume would go perfectly. Too fun! :]
love the colours - so boyish! Lovely :)
Super cute. I would like to know where to get the "ONE" letters that are in the wagon. ???? Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure where she purchased the letters. I have seen very similar ones at Hobby Lobby though! Try there or any craft store like Michael's. :]
