Name: Levi (1)
Location: United States
I chose a Little Man party theme for Levi's first birthday. I saw the idea several places and fell in love when he was still in my womb....and when we did not know if we were having a boy or girl. I decided, if its a boy, this is what I am doing for his first birthday party!
My husband made some awesome invites to set the tone for the party. I tried to incorporate all things mustache and ties. I made chocolate mustaches of course. The menu consisted of "Poker Chips", "Mr. Fruit", "Pretzel Cigars", "Bowtie Pasta", and "Man-wiches."
We had a photo booth with manly props, a bucket to make a prediction for Levi's future manhood, some manly coloring pages, and bubbles, balls, etc. for kiddos to play with. For decor, I used balloons in orange, green, and blue; a couple colorful buntings made of scrapbook paper; centerpieces made of baby food jars filled with Sixlets, mustache quotes, and photos of Levi.
My favorite elements are the napkins that have neckties on them (cannot remember where I found them online), the awesome bunting made of photos of Levi with a mustache photo-shopped on (I grinned the entire time I spent making these because it was amazing and genius), and all the wonderful family and friends that joined us to celebrate our Little Man. I handmade almost everything for the party, except for those napkins that I cannot remember where they are from.

MEDUSA12120: Oh you made me laugh out loud
The cake doesn't look like a mustache...YIKES but everything else is super cute.
super cute!!!!
Agreed Medusa.
If I see one more person with a "Mustache-On-A-Stick" picture on Facebook, i'm gonna freak out. Yes, we get it, you are unoriginal but think you're original.
That being said, CUTE BABY AND CUTE PARTY! Can't hate anything with a baby involved..
So sick of people complaining that things are overdone. It's a cute theme. It's her baby, just because you may have seen it before doesn't mean she got to do it for HER baby before.
The party is super cute, I especially love the photos with the mustaches! Oh my gosh, I'd have been cracking up the whole time too! Good work!
Never enough mustaches; what a cute boy, and the pictures with the mustaches on the boy are so cute.
Yes, we get it, you are unoriginal but think you're original
^ So....I guess you've never done anything that anyone else has done? Lay off, it's her baby & her party. I can't wait to see pictures of the commerical Dora the Explorer party you do for your kid complete with Wal-Mart purchased Dora table cloths.

That comment was really mean! People, if you have nothing nice or constructive to say then don't comment. I mean, what's the point? I see a lot of stuff here on AP that I don't like and I don't go in and comment "ugh what a tacky horrible this and that" I just keep on scrolling to the next thing that might inspire me.
That being said, cute party and I especially loved the picture of the baby with the mustache. Thank you for sharing with us!
Yes, it's been done a lot, and I find it adorable every time. Things like this become trendy for a reason - lots of people like it.
I've been wanting to do this party since I first saw the idea and I'd still love to do it. My first two children are girls. But a few months ago, I had a baby boy and his name is also Levi! He will definitely be having a "manly" party for one of his birthdays (maybe not the first one though). Its may have been done a lot, but never in my circle of friends, so it's novel to us and our close ones. And who else really matters in this case?
Don't insult mamas who throw beautiful heartfelt parties for their little men! You must be damaged from having your parties at Chuck E Cheese.
