Liam’s 1st NYC Bistro Birthday Party
I’m so excited to finally share images from Liam’s 1st Birthday party! I’ve been waiting so patiently for this month’s issue of Mini Magazine since our Liam’s little bash wash featured over on page 94!
I’m honestly so thrilled the way this birthday party turned out. I knew I wanted to do a NYC theme- but didn’t want it to be too “I (heart) NY” like. So I decided to go with a New York cafe bistro theme!
We built a NYC city-scape photo booth, inspired by Anna Rifle Bond’s NYC Print. I re-painted her amazing city scape for the backdrop, with lots of fun props for our guests to take photos with.
Food consisted of NY pizza (of course), mini mac&cheese, mini puff pastry hotdogs, mini grilled cheese topped on tomato soup. The dessert table was my favourite, I really pulled the bistro theme together with all the desserts and pastries.
I think the photos speak for themselves, I hope you enjoy them and grab some inspiration!

The BEST birthday for a little guy I have ever seen! I love everything about it, especially how excited Liam was!
This is beyond amazing!! I’m going to have to copy the theme idea. Been looking for so long and this is just perfection. Perfectly suits us since we lived in NYC until our little guy was born and absolutely love the city. Thank u so much for posting this!
What an amazing job you did, this little guy is going
To have many amazing parties with a Mommy like you!
Bravo to you and #jamielaurenphotography ! Love it and love
What you do!!
Wow! This party looks amazing! I had a Paris themed party for my daughter who recently turned one. Hard to think of a theme for a one year old so I thought an amazing city was the way to go! I love how you catered the food to accommodate little ones. Can you please share where the food was from? Thsnks, and great post and photos!
