The Very Hungry Caterpillar Party

Hudson's first birthday party was last week. Where has the time gone??? I chose the theme The Very Hungry Caterpillar because A. Eric Carle is awesome. and B. Hudson eats all the time like the caterpillar. And he's fat.

Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? I don't know how I managed to plan parties in the past without it!  Most of everything I did was found on Pinterest.

Here's his cute little banner. Couple of dollar store posterboard pieces and construction paper and about 10 minutes. Easy peasy.


Here's the super cute cake which I pinned here.


The Wilton food coloring spray was a life-saver. According to my mom anyway. I didn't make the cake, she did.

I found the printables here. And since fruit is very cheap at Aldi, this was very inexpensive to pull off.


The party favors were fun to make. The pin called for googly eyes. I couldn't get mine to stick.


Maverick did 90% of the work for these. He was so proud to be able to help with his brother's party!

And here's the birthday boy!!
Me and the Birthday Boy
"OMG! Fire!"




So, that was Hudson's very Pinterest-inspired party!

Thanks for stopping by! Pin It Now!
