Brunch Under the Big Top {The Details}

I had the best time planning Dayton's first birthday! I wanted his first to be festive and somewhat of a general theme, as I know I wont have many years where I get to pick the theme! 

The first thing I found were these adorable invitations and designed the entire party around them! The ladies at Big Dot of Happiness were so easy to work with and the quality was amazing.
