One-derful party ideas for your little one’s first birthday
Organising your child’s very first birthday party is such a monumental moment for a family. The joy and excitement of organising the milestone event for the very first time is like no other and having the memory to look back on with adorable photos for your son or daughter to see when they are older is such a sweet thing to be able to do.
Since so many parents decide to make their child’s first birthday party an extra special one to remember, it may seem difficult to pick a theme for your little one’s big day.
If you’re stuck on what theme to choose or are looking for a unique take on a first birthday party, check out our inspo below.
Alice in One-derland
Your child can dress up as Alice or The Hatter for their special day. Decor can include playing cards, toy rabbits and toadstools. Guests can enjoy a tea party spread of food with little ‘Eat Me’ cakes and ‘Drink Me’ juices.
One-der the sea
Throw your little one a nautical-themed party complete with blue balloons and sea-themed decor. Include toy sea creatures and fishy friends for guests to play with.
One happy camper
Set up children’s tents and bring camping to your home. Woodland-themed decor with earthy tones will look perfect with plenty of cuddly teddy bears for your little one and their pals to play with.
Sweet one
Rather than having lots of sweets to simply eat at the party, bring the ‘sweet one’ theme with the decorations- think Candyland. Buy or DIY large lollipops, donuts and sweet treats to display. This colourful party will look great with rainbow decor to match.
Fairy first birthday
Your child’s very first birthday party can have a fairy twist. Provide age-appropriate wings, tutus and wands for party goers to play dress-up in. Decorate your home with magical fairy doors and glitter to prove that fairies helped to organise the get-together for your tot.
Wild one
Have a safari-inspired party for your wild child. Cheetah and zebra print balloons will create the ideal jungle setting alongside green, blue and gold table decorations. Elephant, lion and giraffe teddies and toys will make for great entertainment for the little ones.
