It’s no news that my sweet baby girl clocked the big ONE on July 25, 2018! 🎉 I wrote a post about it here—check it out if you haven’t yet. For her first birthday, we wanted something memorable yet simple, and of course, I had to incorporate a fun theme because if you know me, you know I love themed parties!
Initially, I planned a Dave and Ava theme (one of her favorite cartoons), but finding all the decorations was a struggle. So, as usual, I hopped onto Pinterest for inspiration, and that’s when I came across a Smiley-themed party! While this theme is typically for older kids (around 5+), I instantly fell in love with the idea. #WhenMummyIsInCharge 😜 Plus, since we had a mix of adults and kids at the party, I knew it would still be fun and visually appealing.
Once I had the theme locked in, I set out to find all the decor essentials—and boom, we made it happen! 💃🏾
This wasn’t a big party—it was all about creating memories, capturing moments, and celebrating with close family and friends. The goal was for Teni to have a fun day (even if she wouldn’t remember it), and of course, to document everything in pictures because that’s what she’ll see in the future!
Before the guests arrived, we made sure to have a fun photoshoot with her in her birthday outfit. Throughout the party, we captured special moments—before, during, and after the event.

Looking back, I’m so glad we were able to celebrate her milestone in a way that felt just right for us. The planning was short and sweet, but everything came together perfectly. You only turn ONE once, so however, you choose to celebrate—make it special in your own way!
