Moonrise Kingdom birthday ideas and cake smash
You’ve seen Moonrise Kingdom, yes? That’s pretty much what came to mind when Alanna Andes sent us photos from her little guy’s 1st birthday. And since the temps are warming up, and summer camp themed parties are just right around the corner, we thought you’d dig some of these crafty ideas. Plus… who doesn’t love a good cake smash?
How cute is that itty bitty triangle garland that Alanna made for the invites?
Mama Alanna also made these rad arrows that are now hanging up in little Jude’s nursery.
The best part of any birthday right here, are we right?
Happiest birthday little Jude!

Hi, I love this! I have the brown cards to make invites, I am just trying to figure out how to make out the texted part? Did you make that yourself? Did you use word? Or a different app? Thanks!
