Vivian's 1st Birthday

Dol or doljanchi is a Korean tradition that celebrates the birthday of a one-year-old baby. This ceremony blesses the child with a prosperous future and has taken on great significance in Korea. The birthday babies wear a hanbok and a traditional hat: a jobawi or gullefor baby girls and a bokgeon or hogeon (호건) for baby boys.


Traditional Korean food was served at the party with a modern twist on decoration.  The theme of the party was "Alice in Wonderland", so we used a lot of vibrant colors, oversized flowers and lots of butterflies!
