1st Anniversary Party Ideas in Gold & White

You’re going to love these DIY first anniversary party ideas done in gold and white. I’ve designed a dessert and champagne table that you can recreate your self. Just check out the ideas below.

Once you’ve said your vows, celebrated with family and friends, and gone on your honeymoon, what’s left to look forward to? Your first anniversary of course! I’ve teamed up with Cricut once again, to bring you first anniversary party ideas. This isn’t an over the top celebration though. It’s an intimate gathering of close friends or family, and it’s done over champagne and dessert.

The idea is for the couple to celebrate with a nice dinner out, and then come back home {or to a friend’s} and finish the evening with sweets and bubbly. I’ve incorporated some easy diy’s using my Cricut Explore Air, and they add just the right touch to complete the party table. Let’s take a closer look, shall we…

Anniversary Party ideas:

• The tradition for celebrating the first year anniversary is to eat the top layer of the wedding cake. It’s removed during the wedding reception and tightly wrapped and frozen specifically for this occasion. It’s a great way to come full circle and remember your wedding day. I made a mini cake banner to top the cake, and I also made a doily for the cake to sit on. These are both simple projects with the Cricut Explore Air, and all that’s needed to complete the look are some fresh flowers and greenery.
• I also made a “welcome” sign using the same colors and fonts as the cake topper. For this party I wanted a reverse effect, meaning the text and graphics are cut out of the materials instead of attached to them. It’s a clever technique and you can either back the pieces with coordinating paper like I did here, or leave them open.
• The champagne is flowing for this party and I wanted to dress up the ice bucket a bit. The frosted window cling was the perfect thing to use here on my acrylic cooler. I cut out the word “Bubbly” using the Cricut Explore Air, and attached it to the side of the bucket. And since it “clings,” it’s easily removable without any mess or residue to worry about. Again, I used the open cut-out section of the cling, but you could also use the letters themselves, instead.
• Whimsical wall decor is added above the bottle of bubbly, using gold foil adhesive dots. The machine cuts these out quickly and easily, and they’re arranged to look like champagne bubbles coming out of the bottle.
• My final project for the party design was the “Happy Anniversary” banner. This was made with the write-and-cut feature and was a lovely addition to the tassels and greenery decor.

This anniversary party is done in cream, white, and gold to mimic the purity and celebratory aspect of a wedding. A dessert and champagne bar is a “sweet” way to celebrate with friends without it being the entire focus of the night, and is a great alternative to a cocktail party.

Cheers to love!
