First Birthday Party Ideas

Baby’s first birthday party is one of the most significant ones — mostly for the parents and others who come together to celebrate, but your child will know he is special too, even if he can’t remember years later.

Check out our Big List of Birthday Party Ideas for our top first birthday party themes.

Some great first birthday party themes that you may want to consider for this BIG party are:

• Sugar & Spice & All Things Nice
• Little Boy Blue
• Cute as a Button
• Puppy
• Barnyard Animal
• Baby Einstein
• Blue’s Clues
• Winnie the Pooh
• Elmo
• An initial party, using child’s initials or Alphabet
• A Number “1″ theme
• Rubber Ducky
• Trip to the Zoo or Park
• Color Party

The list of themes are endless. When deciding on a theme for your one year old, look around and see what your child is interested in. Although he can’t exactly tell you what type of party he wants, he can definitely give you clues.

To make it easy on mom, you may decide to pick a theme that is all inclusive.   Below are some examples from Birthday in a Box.

If it is going to be mostly adults, then the planning of games/activities are minimal, but usually older children do attend these parties with their parents and so it will be helpful to build a party around your theme complete with a few games, crafts, activities, some of which the adults can become involved with as well. All of the kids should have goody bags to take home as well.
