what theme did you use for your DS's 1st bday?

I am starting to throw around some ideas. It will be in February and my time is short (I am one of those full-time working mom's). Can anyone share any ideas, websites or other things you used for the planning? Thanks!

    Noah's wasn't a theme, but everything was light blue and brown.

    Maren's is already in the works.  It is going to be a pajama party at our house.  I'm serving bunchy type food and going to set pillows in our trampoline outside for a pillow fight for the bigger kids. Mimosas and bloody marys are a must too for moms and dads.

    Sponge Bob. And yes, he was obsessed with him even then. Best part? Ian has requested a Sponge Bob birthday this year as well and what do you know, but I still have his decorations from his 1 year. Woot.

    We had a bug theme in September.  We did picnic food (had it at the park) - fruit salad, burgers/hotdogs, macaroni salad.  Made dirt cakes for the kids.  The favors were little personalized bug cases with bug/flower foam stickers, 'real' plastic bugs, homemade caterpillar butter cookies, and some little chocolate bars.

    No theme for 1st bdays.  Fire trucks for age 2, trains and tractors for 3.

     

    DD was no theme, elmo, no theme, little einsteins, this one probably a space theme.

    We went with a rubber ducky theme.  I used the Munchkin inflatable duck tub as an ice chest/cooler, I found rubber ducky mini pinatas and used them as a weight for the balloons, gave out birthday themed rubber duckies as part of the favor and used a couple of them on top of the cake.  Everyone loved it.

    Elmo :)  He loved the This Big book with Elmo, so it seemed like his favorite thing at the time.
