The Big ONE: A Notorious BIG 1st birthday party

We’re all on board with 1st birthday party themes that the parents and their pals majorly appreciate, right?! (Save the superheroes and princesses for when they can request it, we say.) Not to mention, when you’re event pros like Cooper’s mama + papa at Bash + Co, you’re bound to find a way to make your little bebe the happiest guy ever on his 1st, while simultaneously impressing every guest that walks through the door. Funny enough, Ciara had the palette (neutrals, pls!) and modern style picked out before the theme, but one day listening to Spotify it clicked… The BIG one, Biggie Smalls style. And now you can pull off a cool kids party like this with a few of our MatchBook Pros! Design/planning, photography, catering or anything you need! Just post a request with your style, budget and location, then sit back and our talented team in your area will be in touch!

Madison Katlin Photography captured soooo many good details from this Notorious BIG inspired birthday. Just start scrolling for a peek!

Ciara is all about minimal modern everything, so she just paired a few other neutrals with the black and white theme. The big balloon decorations by Lushra were epic! You can buy sweet peachy colored balloons here too.
