It's as easy as ABC to plan a party using the initial of the birthday child. Kids can cut out and decorate card-stock letters for invitations. Rubber-stamp a border on a paper tablecloth and hang card-stock initials like streamers (print out letters from your computer to trace). Monogrammed cookies adorn cupcakes. Create "name-brand" drinks by coloring in a stencil on patterned paper in marker (affix with double-sided tape).
Initial Favors
Use your guests' initials, too: Stencils mark each kid's favor; inside the boxes are rubber stamps and stationery. You'll need a white box (available at crafts stores) and paper stencils (sold in hardware stores). Cut a piece of construction paper slightly smaller than the lid; affix the paper and stencil to lid with a glue stick. Fill the box with note cards and envelopes, rubber stamps, and gummy letters. Secure the lid with colored rubber bands.
We also put guests' initials on T-shirts using iron-on transfer paper for ink-jet printers; follow the package instructions.
i also add his picture to the decorations, labels, etc.
I am actually doing this for my son's birthday party this weekend. I have done it before and I like to use the initial as well as the age he is turning. So instead of just a K party, it's a K8 party. (I realize this year it looks like Kate, but I don't think the kids will notice. *~*)
Hey Martha, thanks for sharing this. I love this idea of initials and am planning to use this for celebrating my soon-to-be-one daughter’s birthday
Loved this for my sons first birthday party. We had a small family party and the simplicity of this theme kept the attention on my sweet boy (:
I'm planning on this for my son's 3 bday. I'm making him a shirt with the E's. Making the cupcake with the small e's and as party favor's giving them a Big E
Has anyone done this already and have more ideas that go along with this party theme? I'm loving this idea for my son's 1st birthday party. I want a little more or perhaps something similar. Any ideas????? His birthday is in June...so I'm throwing the idea around to involve swimming or water like the sprinkler party idea too. I've never done this before! :)

you can get letter cookie cutters at sur la table
does anyone know where I can get the monogram cookie cutters?
This is the perfect idea for my twins 2nd birthday party. We have a boy and a girl and it has been impossible to find a theme that fits "all boy" and "tiny diva". One likeness they do have is the first letter of their names- so this idea is PERFECT!!!
