Last weekend our little baby Lola turned a year old, and I can\u2019t believe it! Where does the time go? Since you only turn one once, I wanted Lola\u2019s first birthday to be nothing short of beautiful and sweet just like she is. I did my best to make the celebration as festive as possible, and I wasn\u2019t going to let quarantine get in the way. Throwing a <\/span>dog birthday party<\/span><\/a> is just the norm around here, regardless.<\/span><\/p>\n

My sweet and goofy Lola girl!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rewind to a few months ago when I started planning Lola\u2019s birthday. Since her name is Lola, we always find ourselves singing Copacabana (At The Copa) by Barry Manilow. You know the one…<\/span>Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl. With yellow feathers in her hair\u2026 <\/span><\/i>And now that song is stuck in your head. Sorry! But we have been singing this song to her since we brought her home and one day my mom says, why don\u2019t you have a Copacabana party for her birthday? I said, done!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lola's
I loved the colorful tablescape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Lola's
Tip: If you’re decorating around a TV, you can find colorful backgrounds on YouTube to display during your party. I loved this gold sparkly one that Paul found.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When it comes to celebrating our girls, I almost always incorporate pink into the decor. I have a lot of pink things that are easy to reuse every year and I add in some new things for whatever theme I\u2019m going for. I wanted Lola\u2019s Copacabana party to be reminiscent of the Copa of the 1940\u2019s when Carmen Miranda and Groucho Marx filmed the musical there. So palm leaves and pineapples were what I knew I needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t able to shop like I usually do, but I managed to find some cute things that would arrive on time from <\/span>Oriental Trading.<\/span><\/a> When I found <\/span>these pineapple plates<\/span><\/a>, I built the rest of the decor around them. Pink <\/span>pineapple cocktail napkins<\/span><\/a>, pink cutlery, green palm leaves, and a little black and white accents rounded it all out. Lola even wore her <\/span>pink tutu<\/span><\/a> from Halloween. I added the <\/span>blush and rose gold garland<\/span><\/a> just because I thought it was cute.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lola's<\/p>\n

\"Lola's
Lola actually loves wearing her tutu. She stayed in it all evening and looked so cute!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Paul made a great dinner like he always does and I baked a cake. I tried a new-to-me kitchen hack and it was the best cake I’ve ever made – it was so good! Read my post on how to turn a boxed cake into a bakery cake<\/a>! Then we FaceTimed with our parents so they could join the party, too. It was so fun having everyone together, even though it was virtual. We all had wine or a cocktail and my mom even decorated her own house! We lit the candle, made a collective wish, and sang to our sweet Lola. I couldn\u2019t have been happier at that moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lola's
The pups get a tiny sliver of cake and we end up eating the rest. This one is vanilla with vanilla frosting and sprinkles, of course.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Lola's
We love you, Lola Rose!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lola\u2019s first year has been so wonderful. She really is such a good dog. Even as a young puppy she was incredibly chill, and she\u2019s never torn up anything. She just loves her toys. By far she is the sweetest and most physically affectionate dog I\u2019ve ever had. We love her so much and wanted to give her the best birthday ever! A dog birthday party is just good for the soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

One more thing…we purchased a swimming pool recently for our girls and they LOVE it! I highly recommend <\/span>this dog pool<\/span><\/a> as it\u2019s durable and easy to set up and take down. Plus it\u2019s huge and a great price!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever thrown a birthday party for your pup?<\/span><\/p>\n
