Pink Cupcake Birthday Party

I have been doing boy birthday parties for four years now. Eight years, if you include the parties I have hosted for my husband since we met.

So, for my daughter’s first birthday, I wanted to do something PINK, but not too theme-y. I know we will have plenty of time for Dora, Barbie, and similar parties as she gets older. So I thought a fun idea would be a cupcake theme.

Cupcake Birthday Invitations

I handmade the invitations to fit a standard No. 10 size envelope on my Cricut machine.

How to make the invitations:

1. Base – Cut pink textured cardstock for the base (4″ x 9 1/4″).
2. Party details – I created a Word document with all the party details in pink and brown using the font Gigi and printed them on plain white cardstock. Cut each printed invite to 3 1/2″ x 8 3/4″. This allowed for a 1/4″ border of the pink cardstock. I adhered the white pieces to the pink pieces using my tape runner. I created a Canva template you can edit and print a similar style invitation: Pink Cupcake Invitation
3. Cupcakes – I used the ‘Sweet Treats’ cartridge on my Cricut to cut out the little cupcakes in pink and brown cardstock on the bottom. I embellished each one with a little bit of glitter in the center of the flower. I attached the cupcakes using a glue dot.

I have included the smaller cupcake for the invitations, cupcake for the favor bags, large cupcake for the table, and the number one. You can customize these to work for your party.

Cupcake Birthday Favors

For the kids’ favors, I used cellophane bags that each included a ring pop, fruit snacks, candy hearts, and a Chinese finger puzzle.

I created another paper cupcake using my Cricut and the ‘Sweet Treats’ cartridge and attached it using a pink staple.

I embellished each cupcake with glitter glue at the top scalloped edge. I then wrote each child’s name on the cupcake.

Cupcake Party Decorations

To decorate the table, I started with a disposable pink tablecloth from Dollar Tree.

I made some giant cupcakes using the same Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge. I love this cartridge, by the way, if you couldn’t tell from this post.

I created everything for this party in 2011 using my old Cricut machine, which used cartridges. You can now find these under Image Sets in Design Space.

My daughter’s name, Olivia, and the giant number one were also created using my Cricut. I hung pink balloons and streamers on the wall.

The number one I made with polka dot pink paper, and yellow for the flame. I outlined the flame in glitter glue.

I made a utensil holder to match the party theme. You can see it in the above picture in the upper left corner of the table. All you need is a cardboard drink holder and some contact paper or Duck tape. Learn how to make a custom utensil holder.

Cupcakes were made with boxed cake mix and homemade buttercream frosting, tinted pink. I found some cute brown and pink wrappers with cupcakes on them at Walmart.
