Anne Murray's iconic song 'You Are My Sunshine' plays in my mind as I reminisce about Juniper's first birthday party, a special day filled with love, laughter, and memories that will be cherished for years to come. The Time Capsule Station was one of the highlights of the celebration, where party guests were invited to write letters to the birthday girl, to be opened on her 18th birthday.

As I look back at the sign I created for the station, adorned with a beautiful flower design, I am filled with emotions. The idea of capturing memories and thoughts in a letter is a powerful one, and I knew that this activity would be a meaningful way for our loved ones to share their love and well-wishes with Juniper.

The setup was simple yet effective: a clear sign holder displayed the Time Capsule Sign, which had space for guests to write their names and messages. A stack of blue and green scrapbook paper, cut into various sizes, was placed beside a pen cup filled with archival-safe pens. The English teacher in me couldn't resist providing some prompts to get the party started!

As the party progressed, I watched as guests took turns writing their heartfelt letters to Juniper. It was amazing to see how easily they connected with this idea, pouring their thoughts and feelings onto paper. I have no doubt that these letters will be treasured by Juniper for years to come.

We, too, were overcome with emotion as we read the letters after everyone left. Tears welled up in our eyes as we realized just how fast time has flown by. It's hard to believe it's been a year since our little one made her grand entrance into the world and stole our hearts forever.

The Time Capsule Station was not only a fun activity, but also a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing moments with loved ones. As we look forward to Juniper's future birthday celebrations, I know that this tradition will continue to bring us closer together as a family.

In conclusion, the Time Capsule Station was a hit at Juniper's first birthday party, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to create a special memory with their loved ones. With its thoughtful prompts and creative setup, this activity is sure to inspire heartfelt letters that will be treasured for years to come. So go ahead, gather your loved ones, and start writing – you never know when the time may come to open up these precious letters!
