My friend Holly is a great party planner! She did a Very Hungry Caterpillar party for her son’s first birthday. I just loved how it turned out and she was kind enough to let me share her pictures with you. When Holly isn’t busy with her boys she’s working out of her home. She and her husband make and sell picture boards. Check out their handiwork at The Picture Board.com.
Now on to the party!
Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake instructions for the cake are HERE:
This is Holly’s original idea. She made a caterpillar wall decoration with twelve pictures of the Birthday Boy, one picture from every month of his life. I just thought this was so thoughtful and it turned out great!
Very Hungry Caterpillar from balloons. So easy but it makes such a statement!
Apple cupcakes, complete with worm sticking out of a few.
The food was just too cute! The food and little signs go with the book. Printable food labels and more Very Hungry Caterpillar Parties ideas can be found HERE.

Holly is also a ninja at photoshop! She whipped up this Very Hungry Caterpillar design for a onsie and the invitations that she sent out.
Such a cute idea.
Thanks again for letting me post the pictures Holly.
Hi Melissa! You just left me the sweetest message. Thank you! This party is darling! Love it. Thanks for the shout-out about our party ;)
Let’s chat about guest posts!
Thank YOU Melissa!!! You’re so sweet! :)
That is too cute!
This is such an awesome idea! I love it!
What an amazing party!!
Hi! I’m doing a very hungry caterpillar theme for my soon-to-be 1 year old and I love the caterpillar banner with a picture of each month of their 1st year! I’m wondering what you used to cut the paper in perfect circles, and what size are the circles? Thanks! :)
Let me figure it out and get back to you! (it’s a friend’s party, not mine, so I know all her secrets but I’ll ask!)
Ok, she said they were just the general size that would fit a 5×7 picture somewhat well, so about 5 inches across or a hair smaller. They were traced and then cute with scissors. Does that help? Thanks! M.
That’s awesome, I’m impressed those circles she did were only cut with scissors, that is some smooth cutting! Thanks so much for getting back to me!
Do you know how she made the invites? I love them!
Photoshop… she’s a ninja like that. :)
Does she sell a template for the invites?? I’m in love with them.
She should… I think it’s just a PS file though so the image off the blog would be just about the same! Good luck
