I love to share real birthday parties with y’all. We have so many creative moms living locally who absolutely KILL IT with their birthday parties. Just don’t tell my boys, okay? Most years I grab a cookie cake and call it good. But enough about me! Nicole of Southern Shutter Photography has late November baby and she did an amazing job of combining the spirit of the season and a traditional birthday party.
Here’s a quote from Nicole herself:
I know everyone says it, but we love the Grinch! My son, Dixon, was born on Thanksgiving so his birthday is usually before thanksgiving or on it. This year we lucked out and it was after. So I decided to take the opportunity to kick off Christmas season with a birthday celebration or as we called it Dixon’s 6th birthday Whobilation. My husband has a grinch costume, and surprisingly he is very good at being him. So the Grinch made a surprise appearance. I had an ornament decorating station and a table with cookie and gingerbread house decorating. Faces were painted in grinch theme designs. The whole party was transformed into whoville or as we called it Davidgeville. We definitely kicked Christmas season off all while celebrating my little boy.

As you look through the pictures you will definitely see that Nicole has a photographer’s eye for details. The theme is followed again and again with gorgeous results. If you’re thinking of doing a Grinch-inspired party then you will definitely want to bookmark this post for inspiration!
