Zee Perfect Birthday
Hi Zee Perfect Gift Community!
I know it’s been a while - life has been a whirlwind for me lately.
regardless, I wanted to create this blog post to share my 27th birthday with you all.
Yes, I still can’t believe I’m 27 but I am embracing this new year with everything I’ve got!
My birthday was truly Zee perfect gift.
It doesn’t take much to make me happy but this was genuinely such a cute and thoughtful birthday that it one up’s all my other birthday’s so much I wanted to share it with you all.
Huge shout out to my boyfriend – thank you for always making me feel like a princess. And to my mom – the decoration queen who never ceases to amaze me.
I’m going to share the items you will need to surprise your loved one in the cutest, most thoughtful way (without breaking the bank).
Birthday Surprise Items Needed and steps to follow:
1. Theme cake: my theme was Zee Perfect Gift and the cake was my gift box – genius!
Check out Alex @alexsdessertcreations – she is extremely talented; her cakes are not only breathtaking but delicious, too!
Pro tip: if you wanted to save you can also bake your loved one’s favorite desserts
2. theme Decorations: pick a color scheme and work around it – pro tip: use what you’ve already got to save
My color scheme was rose gold
The balloons were rose gold
Tip: get letter balloons that read Happy Bday to create a simple yet glam backdrop
The utensils were rose gold and the plates were blush pink
Zee Perfect Gift shop items surrounded the cake to add to the theme
A rose gold French bulldog set on top of all the décor – because my Frenchie is my favorite!
Add a wooden tabletop word to the front of the cake as décor to add to the theme - the girl boss one (pictured above) was purchased at my local home goods
3. To add to the thoughtful birthday – prepare and/or cater your loved one’s favorite appetizers, meals, and desserts
4. Bonus tip: get a birthday cake topper to add extra zing to your cake

Plan every detail. Protect the moments. Enjoy the day.
Your baby’s first birthday deserves to be celebrated, not stressed over.
Between choosing a theme, comparing vendors, tracking RSVPs, ordering decorations, planning activities, and coordinating the big day, even the smallest celebration can start to feel overwhelming.
The First Birthday Playbook was created from my own experience planning my son Mario Francisco’s first birthday. I spent months researching, organizing, and bringing every little detail together and learned so much along the way.
Now I’m sharing the planning process, real examples, and lessons I wish every parent had before getting started.
