I am the exact opposite - I knew I was going to be "that" mom with the theme parties LOL. We're doing a Monkey / Jungle theme. Cupcakes and smash cakes with monkeys on them, I going to turn the ceiling of the patio into a jungle canopy using different shades of green crepe paper, tables will have palm tree center pieces with citronella candles to ward off mosquitos, I have signs and decorations galore! I can't wait. The only thing that isn't particularly themed is the party favors, I'm sticking with bubbles and some jellie beans but they will have monkey thank you tags on them. I'm sure it's much grander in my head than what it will be in real life, but oh well, that's the fun of theme parties!!
Pink Lemonade theme! I wasnt going to go overboard but I have done way too many crafts and crap. I think I started about 6 months ago so I got a good head start

Sports. I wasn't going to go overboard with being crafty, but I couldn't find what I wanted. After I bought a pack of crafting foam to make cut-outs for the invitations, the whole "not going overboard" thing went out the door.
We're doing a music festival theme...so lots of tie dye and rainbow colors. I was so making fun of my husband for going over board with the party but I've so bought in.

Re: birthday themes
We're doing a dirt/Worm theme... His nickname is Worm, so it just seemed to fit.
Some crushed Oreo, lots of chocolate, some gummy worms and some buckets and shovels.
DS1 and DS2 will be the only kids at the party, so it won't be all that elaborate.
We are doing a little monster theme! I got a lot of motivation from pinterest.
My friend is making this cake!
I just loved this theme when I first saw it 1st Lil Rebel theme Blues, Black and Silver oh and Skulls. OMG I can't belive how fast it will be here....

I got her a custom made Brobee diaper, my sister bought her Brobee kicks, and I am making a Brobee cake!
She LOVES Brobee. She has a stuffed one that she carries around all day. He needs a bath...

I got these decorations: https://www.partycity.com/product/boy+1st+birthday+cutouts+30ct.do?sortby=ourPicks&pp=60&size=all&page=2&navSet=169831
They match the decorations my sister got for my baby shower last year so I just had to go with it.
