Teddy Bear Picnic 1st Birthday Party

So the year has flown by and time came for Arthur's 1st Birthday. I didn't plan on a big birthday but I got swept up in the whole deal. I initially thought of just having a picnic at the park. Then I panicked it would rain and the logistics of it all. So I booked a venue and the theme was a "Teddy Bear's Picnic".

My old version of Photoshop did not work with the new OS :( So I did the invitation with Gimp. I think it turned out alright,

 For the birthday cake I had a black forest cake. I think it went nicely with the theme. My dessert table had:
  • cupcakes with bear paws
  • mini donuts
  • strawberrys
  • gummy bears
  • chocolates
  • apple strudel
  • and the black forest birthday cake

 The main colours were red and green. The party packs were green and red gingham handkerchiefs tied up with goodies inside. The place mats were also fake grass.
