CAKE SMASH!

My friend Nicki came into town for the night and took some sweet 1st Birthday Cake Smash pictures! THIS is what we used the fun streamer background for! We had fun...Reese wasn't as crazy about it since she doesn't like cake or getting messy! :) Nicki even brought Reese a beautiful, little dress for her balloon pictures!


Achieving the streamer background: We have a kitchen that opens up to our family room so we hung the bright pink, light pink and white streamers (pretty thickly - 3 rolls!!!) over that opening. Since we could still see through a little bit, we hung a white tablecloth behind the streamers to get a cleaner look. When hanging the streamers, we started just using scotch tape and taping up each individual streamer. Okay...that was going to take FOREVER. So, we used a long piece of masking tape and two little pieces of masking tape. We taped the masking tape sticky side OUT to the wall. That way, we could just push the streamer up against the tape exactly where we wanted it...SO much faster! Nicki came up with it...where was she when I did the entire first roll on my own?!


After the cake smash, we did something a little different...coming soon.
