Animal Alphabets

Animal Alphabets was the theme for my godson's 1st birthday.  In general, a 1st birthday is a big deal and in Hawaii it's a huge tradition, almost a second wedding if you will. Banquet hall, invitations, sign in table, cake table, photo area, you get the idea.  The entire party was themed around K&Company's animal themes.  There were 12 tables and our goal was to create each table with a different animal theme. The challenge was finding all the elements and creating unique, fun and relevant centerpieces for each table, all on a budget.  Each table had coordinating napkin colors with the centerpieces. Below are just  few ideas that was thought of.

K& Company's Animal Themes - Alligator to Zebra

Alligator: 3 alligator soap dishes filled with color coordinating andes mints. Pan filled with water and greenery to create a swamp effect. 

Butterfly: 3 pillar candles with gold butterflies etched into it. Fake butterflies attached to the pillar and sign holders as if fluttering and floating on by. 

Crab: Sand bucket and shells placed on a wood frame.  Ceramic crab sitting on top of sand and candy placed around for guests to enjoy. 

Giraffe: Beautiful tall giraffe resin tealight holders - simple and elegant.

 

Penguin: Cool Hawaiian Penguin...surfboard check, shades check, haku lei check. 

Turtle:  In the pan is a rock plant surrounded by water and greenery. Turtles are actually soap dishes and toilet brush holder filled with candies and lollipops. 

Sign in Table:  Guests were asked to guess how many animal cookies were in the frog. Photo collage of the birthday boy dressed in animal outfits were displayed nearby.
