The Making of a Buggy Birthday Party :-)

So, many (if not all) of the items for Miranda's 1st Birthday party were hand made by mwah! :-) Many people asked me "how did you do that?" So i thought a blog post was a MUST! I broke this out into different details of food and decor (and for all those who loved the cake pops, the recipe is here too!)
Enjoy!

Invitations -
I found these on Etsy a LONG time ago, and knew they'd be perfect! But since this is a lady bug theme, I asked the etsy seller to add some cute pink lady bugs. I then decided to add ladybugs to to the address labels, as well as stamps on the envelopes :-)
