Girls Just Want to Be 1 in Tustin

We celebrated Amal’s 1st birthday in Tustin with a dreamy “Girls Just Want to Be 1” theme! With soft play, a white bounce house, pastel balloons, and beautiful spring weather, it was the perfect day for a sweet and stylish backyard party.

Some parties are sweet, others are fun—and Amal’s first birthday was all that and more. We were thrilled to help celebrate this milestone with a returning client we adore. After working on her son’s birthday previously, it was now time for her little girl, Amal, to have her special moment. The celebration took place at their home in Tustin, CA, where perfect spring weather set the tone for a lovely backyard bash.

Soft Play Meets Girly Glam

This party was themed “Girls Just Want to Be 1,” and Amal fully lived up to it! From the minute we arrived, the backyard was glowing with soft, elegant shades of pink, beige, and white—just like the birthday girl herself: sweet, joyful, and full of personality.

Bounce House with Amal Vinyl

We brought in one of our soft play sets, designed especially for little guests to crawl, climb, and explore. The setup included:

  • A toddler-friendly ball pit filled with soft white and blush-toned balls
  • Cushioned slides that offered safe, fun play
  • Soft climbing blocks and barriers that encouraged movement and interaction
  • A secure fence to create a cozy play space just for little ones

Watching Amal and her friends giggle, crawl, and tumble around the soft play area was one of the day’s highlights.

Bounce House Fun and Balloon Beauty

Balloon Garland on Bounce HOuse

Of course, no toddler party is complete without a bounce house—and this one was a hit! We brought in our signature white bounce house, perfectly paired with a custom balloon garland in the party’s color palette. The balloons were light, airy, and whimsical—just like the celebration itself.

Balloon Backdrop Pink

To complete the look, a wood panel backdrop with bows and pastel balloon accents became the central photo op. It tied the theme together beautifully and served as a sweet backdrop for family photos and candid moments with Amal.

A Spring Day Full of Sunshine and Smiles

The weather couldn’t have been better—sunny skies, warm temps, and a light breeze made it the perfect afternoon to celebrate outdoors. Guests enjoyed food, photos, and plenty of playtime while Amal made her way around the party with her trademark smile. She was truly the star of the day—curious, active, and surrounded by love.

Celebrating a Milestone with Meaning

We love working with repeat families, and this one is especially close to our hearts. Being asked back to help with Amal’s big day after celebrating her big brother is exactly why we do what we do. Each party tells a new story—and Amal’s was full of warmth, love, and joy.
