What was your child's 1st birthday theme?

[lillygator]

DD#1 was born on Halloween so naturally we had a costume party for her first birthday. DD#2 is coming upon the big one in February. I was thinking of having a luau, but our pool still isn't complete yet.....
I don't want a "character" theme as this will all be adults....


my other option is going to WDW for the weekend.

my DD 1.5 loves Dora so that was her theme. I wanted a DISNEY theme but the princess themes are way to old for a first birthday. I wish they offered a more infant friendly line of party supplies. First birthday is very limited IMO. As for our DS 7 weeks I have already started thinking of his birthday, I am not sure what to do. We plan on having a big party but it will be cold for his birthday so we are limited to where we can have it. But I think his theme will be something Disney. My other idea was for a indoor BBQ beach party. I just need a place to throw it.

We didn't have a theme, exactly, for DS's 1st birthday. We decorated the room with primary colors, red, yellow, blue, and green - I ordered about 6 dozen balloons, plus extra helium ballons for the birthday boy. DS LOVES Elmo, so we hired and Elmo to come to the party, it was nice because 1/2 way through the Elmo turned into a clown and did face painting and balloon animals and dancing, etc. It was SO much fun.

We had his party in a private room of a restaurant and everyone loved it.

MICKEY MOUSE! Even at 1 she was into Disney already, wonder why

My Dd 1st party was a rubber ducky theme. Her second was a strawberry short cake tea party. I made a lot of mini cakes and choc. dipped strawberries with the letter E (for Emily) written on them in pink Choc. We had tea sandwiches. All the decorations were pink and red (balloons and carnations). It was quite the affair. I didn't spend a lot of $. I did spend a lot of time on it. I go all out for the kids parties as they are my favorite people to celebrate.

we also did the mickey theme. we were at wdw on his actual bday, so we carried out the theme at his party at home for family and friends. my mom made the cake ... very easy ... three circles:

my mom made a small cake for ds to have ... cupcakes for ears and a small circle cake (one layer) for head

we used primary colors and "pixie dust" we brought home. enjoy your party what ever you choose!

Winnie the Pooh, I had gotten all the party goods, decorations, cake, games, pinata.... geared towards Winnie the Pooh.

My DD was a Bear in the Big Blue House fanatic...so that's what we had.

Older DS - we had the Sesame Street First Birthday theme

Younger DS - the Dumbo "It's fun being 1" theme

My 14yo had an Alice in Wonderland theme for her 1st birthday, my 10yo had a baby Mickey 1st birthday, my 7yo had a Sesame Street 1st birthday, my 2yo had a Lilo and Stitch luau, and I am still planning for my baby's 1st year party.

GL with your plans!

This is something that I'm already contemplating for DD birthday. She too turns 1 in February (22nd). I ahve looked at Rubber Duckys, Pooh, Mickey, and a fun being 1 theme. Try this site for some ideas: www.birthdayexpress.com my MIL passed the catalog my way.

DS- was Winnie the Pooh. I got all of the party supplies of Pooh and the cake I had special ordered.

DD- was Disney Princesses. I did the same thing getting the matching supplies and ordering a special made cake.

For DD it was a "1st Birthday" theme. My mom and I made the same cake I had for my first birthday. DS had 2 birthday parties as we were at a beach house for his actual birthday. He had an ocean cake at the beach house and a farm theme for his big party when we got home.
Next baby will likely get the "oh,you're the third baby - are you one already?" theme!

DS was into blues clues so that was his theme for first Bday.DD same thing. If it a Feb Bday why not do a valentines theme?

 

[AWilliams]

DD's first birthday is in 6 weeks!!! We are going with a valentine theme - hearts, cupcakes, etc. I figure we'll do lots more whith characters when she gets older, but I wanted to keep this one pretty simple. I'm still looking for ideas though!!!

Anyone have photos??

 

[lillygator]

can you elaborate on the Alice in Wonderland 1st birthday theme?

 

[slo]

Both my DD's first birthday theme was "teddy bears" with the age of 1 printed on everything.

After that, we theme every birthday according to what they love that year of their life.

This year:
7yr old DD - Disney Princesses
2yr old DD - Barney

We did Sesame Street, however I love the Disney theme idea. It would be great for both kids and kids at heart.

Check out Target's dollar spot. They had some great heart themed items. They had small heart shaped pans and some other stuff.

For my DS we had Winnie the Pooh theme. I had the Pooh cake pan where he is holding a #1.
For my DD we did a Care Bears theme. I found lots of 1st Birthday Care Bear items at Target for 75% off.
