Hudson's Masters Hole in One First Birthday
Hudson is ONE!
Something that is so crazy to me is over 10 years ago I had this private Pinterest board that was titled "My imaginary son" I would just pin cute boy clothes and stuff like that longing to have a boy possibly one day. One of the things I pinned on that board was also birthday parties and one of the themes was Master's Golf Tournament party. I had thought about it for Bo's first birthday but he was just so into Mickey Mouse that was the only that suited him.
Well, not only do I have now TWO boys, but the moment right after I gave birthday to Hudson I realized it was Master's Weekend! So, of course, the theme of his birthday would be Masters Tournament Hole in ONE birthday! So so, crazy how life works out.
This party was extremely last minute. I had no time to order him a custom Masters jacket.
I put my DIY mind to work & was able to order
this jacket.
Then dye it with
this dye, which was THE perfect Masters Jacket green. It ended up costing me less than $20 to make.
Then ironed on the patch. I DID have the exact patch they use, but I didn't realize my iron was so hot & when I went to put it on it completely melted through and another wouldn't arrive in time so I had to to settle for another patch I had on hand.
I went super simple for the cake. This party was extremely last minute & was unable to book our cake girl.
I found out about custom cakes you can build right on Walmart. So I got a completely bare cake & just added
this golf cart on top.
Now, I KNOW there are know golf carts are used at Augusta, okay, but it was cute,

For the leaderboard, I made the scoreboard part on Canva & printed it out at Walmart. Used styrofoam board & spray-painted it green. Used my Cricut to cut the Masters Logo.

| Masters Pimento Cheese Sandwiches |
I served all the food that is available on Masters weekend: Pimento Cheese Sandwiches and Egg Salad Sandwiches. All the Traditional drinks like the Azalea & Arnold Palmers. I even made Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches but forgot to get photos.
I used these baskets & liners to put out the sandwiches.
The chip bags I made myself. I made the label on Canva & printed it on heavy hard stock & used
this crimper to make the seams while using some hot glue to seal.

| Personalized Photo Golf Ball Party Favors |
I did
personalized golf balls with Hudson's face on them as party favors. These we such a hit & such a fun keepsake.
I was able to search Ebay to find a Master's Teddy Bear from the year her was born to use as decor but also a keepsake for him to keep forever.
I served all the traditional drinks you get in Augusta at the Masters.
For the cups, I bought frosted cups just like at Augusta & put the decal on myself.
The frosted cups are a little more expensive online but if you have Gordons Foods near you they were much more reasonable.
I used
these cup golf tee picks for the cherries & lemon garnish, again I went as traditional as possible. I also used these to put through the club sandwiches I served.
If it isn't obvious, I made the smash cake myself.
I used a half-circle cake pan & white fondant.
I tried many different objects to get the indents & for the life of me can't remember what ended up being the perfect shape but I feel like it was a wooden Melissa & Doug carrot from the boys play kitchen HA!
I wore the classic caddie uniform.
