Triplets' First Birthday Hawaiian Luau

We had the girls' first birthday party on their birthday, June 7.  We decided to have it at our home so it would be easier on the girls and their schedule.  The theme was a Hawaiian Luau and the weather turned out perfect for us.  The girls had so much fun and everything went smoothly.  We set up kiddie pools out front with our pop up tents in the drive way for shade.  We used the entire garage for our photo booth, the Tiki Bar, and the girls' feeding table.  The food and presents were all inside.  I think everything turned out great and I have some really amazing memories of their first birthday.

 

For favors, I put together sand pails with candy for the older kids and baby food for the little ones.  They turned out pretty cute.  My Mom painted all of the drift wood signs which really fit the Luau theme perfectly.

 



 

This "Happy Birthday" banner turned out so cute behind the girls' feeding table for their cake smash.  It was made by Handcrafted by W.  She has an Etsy shop full of such fun and cute things like banners, favor bags, invitations, and other adorable party items.  The details on this banner were beautiful and it was the perfect touch of décor for their cake smash pictures.

 

 

Some of you may not know that Brian and I own a photo booth.  Brian designed and built it himself.  We built it with the intentions to rent it out at events, however I became pregnant and then had triplets so the photo booth business wasn't our first priority.  We set it up for the girls' party and it was a big hit.

Having fun in the photo booth!

 

 

The girls got to play with their new water table and splash pad for the first time during their party.  They loved them!

 

 

 

Inside we had the food table set up in our dining room in front of the perfect backdrop, our Peter Lik photograph.  My Aunt Maeleen made all of the cakes and they were delicious!  I set up their month by month pictures in the living room where we also had the gifts.

 

 

 

 

After playing around in the water, we got the girls changed for their cake smash.  Everyone gathered around to watch the girls have their first taste of cake and sugar.  They were a little weary about getting dirty and then eventually had a few handfuls.

 After getting a little messy with cake, the girls had another outfit change and were ready to open gifts.  I had my parents make them onesies to match their tutus.  Opening presents was hard work... Brian and I trying to corral the kiddos, opening the gifts and cards, and trying to keep the babies attention took it out of us.  I was sweating!  We did get some awesome presents and the girls are so blessed to have so many people around them that love them.  Thank you!

 

And, because baby booties are just so... darn... cute...

 

Thank you to everyone that came out and made our party such a success.  The girls had so much fun and everything ran so smoothly.  I really appreciate all of the help we had setting up and cleaning afterwards.  We are lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives.  It really does Take a Village.
