I've been in full party planning mode for the past month and with some help from Heather at Chickabug {she designed all of the great "Monster Bash" decorations you'll see}, I think the party turned out just perfect.
Mama, Daddy and the Little Lady ready to party!
The ruffled crepe paper might have been some work, but I think it turned out perfect! {You can read about my ruffled crepe paper project here.}
I have seen these great tissue paper pom-poms on several blogs. I enlisted my friend Martha for a little how-to.
{I was so proud of my "cheap" decorations...I don't think you can get much cheaper than tissue paper and crepe paper. With a little time and creativity, you can turn cheap into fabulous!}

Grandma made homemade caramel corn (yum!) and we added M&M's for "Tressie's Monster Mix" party favors.
Adorable personalized water bottle labels...
LOVE the "Birthday Facts"!
The sweet spread. {We also had sandwiches, veggies and chips for our guests.}
Mama and Grandma made a few {bazillion} cupcakes...chocolate and rainbow chip, with LOTS of sparkles on top!
Don't you love the cupcake wrappers and toppers from Chickabug!
{I couldn't believe myself, I am usually one of the most organized, plan-ahead people on earth, however, I was literally hot gluing cupcake toppers together as I was sticking them on the cupcakes yesterday. Ahhh, life with a 1-year-old!}
Mama and Grandma also dipped pretzel sticks...
...and marshmallows, in white chocolate!
And finally the cakes...
T's smash cake!
The Little Lady ready to party {notice her very special birthday necklaces and bracelets}!
More pictures of the Little Lady opening presents and enjoying cake coming soon!

Emily, you are amazing! I think I could borrow some of that pink stuff for Jillian's "pink" shower next Sunday. The ruffled streamers are awesome. Tressie is one lucky little girl!
