What theme are you doing for LO's 1st birthday?

cafecreme · January 2014

I can't help it, but i've been getting ideas for a while on Pinterest for her birthday.

Tell me your thoughts and show me pictures!

I really like the idea of Paris in Spring/Madeline theme for her birthday. She was named after our Paris honeymoon, that's why I really like that theme.

I found this awesome, beautiful cake on Pinterest that I might end up getting made for it:

Omg I hope I have a daughter some day! I LOVED Madeline

DaisyDuck40 · January 2014

@Beary+Ghastly I want that cake for my birthday! It's beautiful!

We aren't going to have a party (just my parents) but I was thinking about making a dinosaur cake?

I believe it's Betty Crocker.

NicoleReed0324 · January 2014

That is so cute. We are doing sharks!!!! I'm so excited.

peachnectarine · January 2014

I've been thinking about an Under the Sea or Pirate theme. Not sure yet though.

amie444 · January 2014

Peter Rabbit here. I got a great deal on the party supplies. So now to find a place(probably my back yard.

sorry the pics are small.

Im still undecided but i like the idea that @wasnotwas gave me... Sesame Street. Party brought to you by the # 1 and the letters of your childs name. Snacks and food can start with those letters.

That's a really cute idea!!

I was thinking maybe a circus theme... No pictures just a thought

Edit: found pictures!

construction theme..backhoes, bulldozers, dump trucks...just like dad!

Since DS's birthday is May 31st and DD's is June 21st, we are going to have a joint party. They are young enough that we can get away with doing one party and they we will be none the wiser.

We will still celebrate their birthday individually, but have one big party where family and friends come. It's perfect that their birthdays are close to Summer, so we can have the party outside.

I was thinking of doing a pixie and pirate party.

I was thinking of doing cupcakes instead of a cake. Half with pirate flags and half with fairies.

ColieAnn31 · January 2014

We are doing this sailor theme and we're having the party at the park here.

amberdt03 · January 2014

I think we're just going to do a good ole fashion birthday party theme.......that is if we even have a party.

Maelara · January 2014

I'm going to do a tea party theme. The cupcakes will sit in tea cups, except Hers. That's as far as I've gotten.

BC&LM · January 2014

I have no freaking clue. It's five months from now. I might not even have a theme, and if I do, it might just be whatever is on sale at the party store. (Or maybe Disney because we are huge Disney fans.)

cynthia2007 · January 2014

We're doing a "bright as the sun, our little A is turning one" with everything yellow, white and splash of pink and happy sunshines everywhere. Its different so I like it

FunkyPhoenix · January 2014

Very Hungry Caterpillar! It's his fav book plus he IS a very hungry caterpillar ;-)

amie444 · January 2014

I got them off of Zulilly. I bet they come back before June.@kari5186

kelly422 · January 2014

@FunkyPhoenix Hungry caterpillar was my baby shower theme. My hostess did such a wonderful job with lots of cute touches!

I saw this theme somewhere too! Instead of a cake they did cupcakes that made the caterpillar.

Yep she did this. She also did some hanging paper lanterns in the shape of a caterpillar. She got a thrift store picture frame and painted it and put a pic of a caterpillar inside. And, of course, she gave me the book and the wooden toy. Go to Pinterest and type in hungry caterpillar and there are tons of results!

megandchase · January 2014

@ohheyholly the first circus themed pic is actually a friend of mine son's birthday lol
Sock Monkey/going bananas theme

Ryanswifey619 · January 2014

We're thinking of just sticking with the cocalo jacana theme that her baby room is done in

JANCANDANCE · January 2014

What in the... /:)

ilovemarfa · January 2014

I have no idea because I haven't thought that far in advance but Ds 1, who's 3rd birthday is next month is having a Mickey themed party. This was ds1's cake from his 1st birthday. It was cat in the hat themed.

kmkaull2 · January 2014

I will think about this in May, but you all have some fun ideas.

DS had a cute Curious George birthday for #3. That's a fun theme.

amanda0126 · January 2014

I'm one of the crazies that have already thought about this. We are going to do a navy/hot pink nautical themed party since it will be at my parents lake house

[Deleted User] · January 2014

@NicoleReed0324

We had a shark theme at one of my baby showers since we decorated LO's room with sharks and fish. These were the cupcakes we had made except the fins made out of white and milk chocolate, corresponding to the cupcake flavor. Everyone loved them! We also had bowls of blue gummy sharks and Swedish fish.

LiLi23 · January 2014

I started a secret pin board on Pinterest but haven't pinned anything yet. M's theme was pink lemonade and I did way too many Pinterest-y things and stressed myself out. Keeping it really simple this time! Although I hada thought of transportation, like bicycles, hot air balloons, trains. I don't really know though.

I love that idea! We were thinking cupcakes over cake. I'll tell my party planner (aka my mom haha)

bel194 · January 2014

Pink lemonade and sunshine!

LiLi23 · January 2014

@bel194 I did pink lemonade for DD's first birthday! It was so easy to buy plates and cups and stuff bc I just got pink and yellow. However, I got soooo carried away with decorations! Lol I made a mini lemonade stand and painted it pink, too. I need to slowly back away from Pinterest this time around. Haha!

My theme is THE BABIES ARE 6 MONTHS old!!!!!!!!!! Good lord, you kids and your Pinterest.

I've been avoiding this thread for that exact reason. I was thinking my theme is "Here's some cake and balloons. You're 1!" But I'm not terribly creative so...

bel194 · January 2014

@LiLi23 Cute! I already have a shopping cart full of stuff on etsy and a Pinterest board full of stuff lol. Can't wait!

TheTamedShrew · January 2014

The decked out Pinterest themes are very cute, but so not my thing. I haven't even thought that far ahead and don't want to. There will be cake and we'll probably grill out with family and swim. I think I'll mess with themes/invites when she's old enough to pick her own.

Most importantly there will be booze & cake involved.

PinkPuffyHeart2 · January 2014

I love ALL of these themes. I have no clue what theme we will do. Maybe Dr. Seuss "oh baby the places you'll go" since that is the book I read to her most in utero. Or Minnie Mouse since DH and I honeymooned in Disney and so it has a special place in my heart. I always try to get her some Minnie themed clothing item for each major holiday.
