Pink Monkey and Bananas Kid's 1st Birthday Party Idea and Free Printable Templates Kathy Beymer at Merriment Design

I was totally stumped trying to think of birthday party theme ideas for Elise’s 1st birthday. And then Shane suggested having a Pink Monkey and Bananas 1st birthday party theme and it just felt perfect.

Elise has snuggled with her adorable Pink Monkey Security Blankie (by Angel Dear) since she was just a few months old – he’s her lovey and #1 bedtime friend. So I drew a Pink Monkey illustration and used the heck out of it on invitations and front door signs…

I also created a “Happy 1st Birthday Elise” banner free printable hanging sign and hung it up with yellow dot ribbon, solid yellow ribbon and vintage yellow ric-rac.

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance.

I must say you've done a amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Safari.

Outstanding Blog!

I don`t know if there is a link here that says, but I haven`t seen one so far... Where did you get those pink & yellow balloons? They are the right shades. You did a fab job with this monkey theme. My almost 1yr young daughter is crazy for both monkeys & the color yellow, and bananas!!!!!

cheers!!

I love this theme! Zoey has the same monkey lovey (x3). She eats, sleeps, and plays with her pink monkey lovey. This is amazing! She turns 1 in 2 weeks.

Hey Julie, that is so cute that Zoey has the same monkey! He is still Elise's #1 pal. How was the birthday party?

I am in love with this party idea!! I had already decided we were doing a monkey theme cause I call my baby girl "chunky monkey". I was trying to download the templates and for whatever reason, it isn't working for me. If I gave you my email could you send them to me?? I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks so much!
