Dylan's giant Cookie Monster pinata was custom ordered from El Sombrero Plaza Dulceria in Fullerton and only cost $25, which is cheaper than the small ones they carry at Party City.
The Happy 1st Birthday sign I purchased at the large party discount store in Downtown LA and the large Mylar balloons I ordered online because they were a lot cheaper than purchasing from Party City. I also ordered the polka dotted latex balloons online from The Polka Dot Market. I rented a helium tank to fill all the balloons from La Fiesta Party Rentals in Fullerton.
I found these cute CM plastic figurines in the dollar bin at Target, which I hung from the paper lanterns hanging under the party tent.
The CM lanters I made myself (for more details see my June post) as well as the paper pom poms which I hung from the tent. The table linens were rented from Create A Party.
I used all my own vases and filled some with mini marshmellows and Cookie Crisp Cereal and topped them off with a smaller paper pom pom; and some I filled with white dasies I purchased from a local market and put a CM floral mylar balloon in them, which were also purchased online.
A top the tables I placed the picture frames purchased from the dollar bin at Target which I decorated and added various pictures of Dylan from his first year. Also on the table were snacks inside the CM cups I made using real chocolate chip cookies and googley eyes.
Dylan's allergen free cake was made by Green Cupcakes n More in Irvine
Some of the cookies for the Cookie Bar were homemade and some were store bought.
I made Dylan's Birthday sign using craft paper, cardstock and ribbon.
