First Birthday Themes

First birthday themes for your baby's first birthday party need to be easily recognisable to your baby then they will also get excited if they see they favorite character. Make sure to have the hankies ready for when they see the room for the first time and shout duck or ball. When our son saw the giraffes on his party decorations he shouted cat, still makes me laugh thinking about it!

Classic birthday themes are simple objects that they are familiar with some suggestions are; ducks, stars, teddies, teddies, dollies, cars, balls, balloons, dogs , farm animals , and even tractors!

Colors are also a good choice for a theme, you could have lots of colors by theming the party with rainbows or pick a nice bright color combination that will dazzle.

You could have everything pink if it's your little girl's 1st birthday and princess themes are also perfect. You will have lots more birthday party opportunities for the pink princess theme, so remember to keep any extra decorations for then!

Blue for boys also is a good start for your little man's party theme and this you can team with pirates, cars, boats and aeroplanes.

If your little one has a favorite TV character then this is normally an easy theme to find; Sesame Street , Baby Einstein , Teletubbies, In The Night Garden, Elmo Thomas the Tank Engine, Dora Birthday Party, Care Bears , Winnie The Pooh . I could go on and on, all have party stuff ready to buy.

The thing to remember when you are choosing your first birthday themes is that it is really more about your choice and what you want in the photos. It won't be long before you find your babies will have their own ideas, so make the most of it now. If there are older brothers and sisters it's nice to get them involved and then you may have more help when it comes to the day of the party! As much help as possible is very welcome when you are stressing whether you have enough food and if anyone is going to come.

Enjoy the day, take thousands of photos and try and get a friend to video the day as you may not find time yourselves.
