boy birthday theme

What theme are you going with for your boy's first birthday party? I am thinking maybe a dinosaur theme (when I was pg with him, DD1 & 2 called him "Rex the Dinosaur" for some reason), but am wondering if I should do something else.

    I think it is good to do what you love.  A dinosaur theme would be good. 

    I considered my son to be like a teddy bear.  So we did a teddy bear theme for his 1st birthday.  And I got some cute ideas on etsy.com.  For my son's 2nd birthday, Gymboree had a Surf Monkey collection, so I did a surf monkey theme for his 2nd birthday--it was a really cute cake with a monkey on a surfboard.  And I know that it would be fun to do either a sports theme or a superhero theme for his future birthdays.  At 2 years old, he loves his Batman PJs from Walmart, so I have a feeling that we are leaning towards a superhero birthday at the end of May.

    I like the dinosaur idea, it has special meaning to you!

    We are doing sock monkeys.  My little guy came home from the hospital in a sock monkey sleeper and hat!

    DS loves balloons, so we are doing a balloon theme. Obviously, that could be for either a boy or a girl...but there will be a few kids at his party and everyone loves balloons!

    I think a dinosaur theme would be really cute! 

    What if you made an UP theme, since the movie had a TON of balloons.

    A dinosaur theme sounds like fun.

    We are doing a Thomas the Train theme.

    We are doing a cookies and milk open house. I figure it is easy to put out a bunch of cookies and everyone can come visit when they can. Of course there will also be a smash cake!

    Thanks for the ideas and input! I think we are going to go with dinosaurs. I found these cute invitations and cupcake toppers on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/103917251/dinosaur-birthday-invitation-printed-or

    Although my sons are now 12 and 9 I did Teddy Bears for DS#1 and Puppies for DS#2.  I think that dinosaurs will be cute for a 1st bday. We did that theme for a 2nd bday.

    I wanted to go with a monkey theme, since we always called DS my little monkey while I was pg. But we're kinda getting over the monkey thing. I considered a dinosaur theme, but now we're going with a nice monster theme. I found a lot of adorable ideas on pinterest.

    At first we were going to do a woodland owl theme, but I just went to a woodland owl themed baby shower and it was incredible. It far exceeded my creative abilities so I'm going to save that for like 2 or 3. This year we are doing a Cookies and Milk Mustache theme. I've found some cute stuff on pinterest and I'm just going to put mustaches pretty much everywhere.

    We are doing an Elmo theme...little guy is obsessed and he has actually only seen sesame street a handful of times. So it will be more like Red everything!
