A Peter Rabbit Birthday Party
Our baby boy turned one this month! I still can’t believe it. It’s been the most amazing year with him in our lives. We couldn’t be more blessed than with our Little A. – he’s our treasure. For his 1st birthday we decided on a Peter Rabbit Party. Mr. Smith and I love the classical characters and thought it would be a very sweet theme. I would have loved to have the party outdoors, amongst the trees, but with Canadian weather in October being a bit on the chilly side – we had to opt for indoors. I found a great how-to for a Peter Rabbit party here and followed it pretty closely, because it was brilliant! I was taken right away with this cupcake idea! (pictured below)
Benjamin Bunny Carrot Cupcakes with french vanilla frosting – decorated with these adorable Peter Rabbit Character toppers by Meri Meri from Make It Mine Parties. I was so happy to find them along with a few other items that were made for a Peter Rabbit celebration! Such as the personalized hats, napkins, plates, table cloth and cups….all in classical Beatrix Potter style.
Mrs. Rabbit’s Berry Pie made by Little A’s Nana was a huge hit with the partygoers! It was positively delicious (thank you mom!). And one of my favourite treats was Flopsy Bunnies’ Blackberry Lemonade. Sweet and puckery! Perfect for washing down all the other goodies.
Oh did we ever have a fun afternoon of celebrating! Little A. was the happiest little bunny ever. Hopping around the party room, saying hello, checking out his presents, having snacks, playing with his new toys. He was such a joy to watch. And when it came time to singing happy birthday and bringing him his cake…did he ever light up! His eyes grew big and his mouth made an O of surprise and delight. We helped him blow out his candle and then without hesitation he dug into his birthday cake! (A little Peter Rabbit )
He ate every last morsel!
Mr. Smith and I had a blast on party day and on his actual birthday – the day after – we spent time just the three of us, playing with new toys, reading new books and eating cupcakes in our pjs!

Happy birthday to him! I love my sons birthday, always makes me remember the joy when they were born – as I imagine you feel! 🙂
Oh so cute! I think I saw this theme on one of those party blogs, it’s so sweet! I think your little guy looks a little bit like you, am I right? Happy B-day to him! And have a great Halloween weekend Emily!
Thank you Tina and Gaby!
Yes, he does look quite a bit like me…so I’m told 🙂 Both his dad and I
have golden in our hair, so that’s where he gets the hint of ginger.
