“Let’s sing and dance sand have a parade,
Join us to celebrate Barrett’s first birthday!”
Joy and celebrating are not on hold even during this cautious time, so I have relished planning Baby Barrett’s first birthday over the last few weeks. It has been so nice having a major family milestone and positive occasion to look forward to. Serendipitously, we had picked a parade theme months ago for the party since Barrett loves music, but little did we know how fitting it would be.
Working with Jack Paper Co. to design the invitations, friends were encouraged to parade by on their bikes or wagons to practice social distancing, and we set up party decor in the front yard so that our family and especially Barrett would have a front row seat to the action!
She loved waving to everyone and of course digging into her smash cake – made by Izzabee’s Confectioneries. See below for more of the party details.
Welcome and food signs by Wright Lettering Co. Friends could grab an individually wrapped party favor and treat as they passed by, including Hippo Pop cake pops and a set of musical instruments.

The food table featured a pink striped awning, birthday banners and flowers for a cheerful display.
For some added curb appeal, we rented a personalized cake sign from Celebrate Soda City , which also supplied our welcome home “it’s a girl ” yard signs when Barrett was born.
