Brody’s First Birthday Party // The Goodie Bags

I know it’s now March {ahhh} and I am stilllll talking about Brody’s first birthday party that took place in the beginning of January {why does time fly so quickly???} but better late then never, right? This is the very last installment of bday party posts and it’s a fun one: all about his goodie bag!

IF MISSED: Read about the PLANNING of Brody’s first birthday party, the DETAILS, and the SMASH CAKE.

Obviously I had to make goodie bags to go along with Brody’s CAR theme so where did I turn to? Pinterest, of course! I found that someone pinned stop light goodie bags and while I think mine are even cuter than the pin I took inspiration from, I immediately loved the idea! To jazz them up a bit, I added the red, yellow, and green tissue paper thinking it would make a statement when all the goodie bags were shown together… and it definitely did! Then, I bought the personalized thank you stickers that I put onto the red “light” from the Etsy shop Chevron Smiles. Check out a closer view below {and then read on for an exclusive coupon code to the shop!}

Chevron Smiles has an abundance of PERSONALIZED stickers for any occasion! Holidays, birthdays, monthly baby stickers, address labels, baby showers, bridal showers, etc! You name it, Chevron Smiles can make it! And get this! The owner is offering 15% off anything in the shop exclusive to I Adore What I Love readers with the code IADORE {all caps!} SO AMAZING… but get to it because this offer is only valid for a short time!

I have to say, so many people who attended the party called or texted me afterwards raving to me how much they loved their goodie bag!  Which is so nice because I had the best time putting them together… might be a little corny to say, but it’s true! Since this is the last of Brody’s first birthday party posts, I just want to express again how much I adored planning for it and then sharing every aspect of the party with my fave readers!! THE BEST!

Obviously I LOVE me a good goodie bag but I know not everyone feels the same.
