We’re sooo excited for fall, but always in the mood for summery events like this neon first birthday our gal Anne Robin put on for her little man Theo’s first. Theo has always been full of smiles, so they wanted it to be super fun and play up those bright, cheerful vibes, as you’ll see in all the photos by Krista Mason.

Clearly he is one cool dude!

Amber Moon Design was behind all the fun laser cuts.

Another place the smiley theme came in… So cute!

Being a calligrapher, Anne did all the lettering and invites, but she also loves to experiment with cakes for her kids’ bdays. Kudos on pulling off neon frosting!

Yes, it’s almost Halloween. But mamas, we have to tell you… we are still deep in Summer weather here in LA. So it makes perfect sense that we’d still be sharing neon pool parties on Cakelet at the end of October. No matter how much we obsess about sweaters and tights, bikini season is still going strong! Melissa of Homethrown LA threw the most joyful, adorable pool party for her twins at her gorgeous LA home. And we get to share it with all of you. Good food, a gorgeous pool, neon crafts for little fingers, and twin birthday cakes. So good.

Nevermind the gold S-P-L-A-S-H balloons. Can we talk about that play house?!

Hey birthday kids!

Love Melissa’s mix of rustic textures with bright neon details. Considering she is an expert when it comes to throwing intimate, thoughtful events it’s no surprise that this party is so cute!

Also, get ready for some major kitchen envy. Her house!

Little snack packs for the kiddos is so smart. Makes it easy to be sure that the little bodies are nicely fed and read for cake.

This party seriously looks like the most perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon, ever.

Check check on the matching party activities. Neon Jenga!

Go Joey! It’s your party, girl.

Such a good one, Melissa. Thank you for sharing your sweet pair’s party with us!
You can see the Unicorn party that Erica (the other half of Homethrown LA) threw for her daughter earlier this year right here.

Materials:

* Party Hats (To achieve a natural cardboard look as shown in the photos, they bought party store hats and just turned them inside out)
* Craft glue
* Paintbrush
* Confetti

Instructions:

1. Assemble the party hat.
2. Paint craft glue onto the top half of the hat – or wherever you would like the confetti to be!
3. Roll the hat in a pile of confetti. (The neon confetti was purchased from Knot & Bow. The pink confetti was handmade using crepe paper).
4. Shake off excess confetti, and let dry overnight.
5. Party!

Too cute, right? If you want to step it up a notch and get really fancy with it, pop over to 100 Layer Cake to see the super fab DIY floral party hats Lauren Wells is sharing over there.
