There’s nothing like a good old fashioned mood board to keep things on track when planning a party. Yes, we have Pinterest, and it’s amazing. But sometimes it’s nice to actually put everything together in one place.

Mara made this board for her son’s Ice Cream Social 1st birthday party that we’re going to post later today. Wait til you see the party. It’s so darn cute!

It’s so satisfying to see an actual mood board and then the final party! For sources of the photos and a bit more about Mara’s party plan, see her cute blog.
