For first birthdays I always went a little over the top, and because of the effort I put in and the memories of my sweet little one-year-olds loving the presents and cake, a lot of the first birthdays are making the list. However, I've done several less elaborate party themes that were still fun and cute (and cheap!), so you can see all of my party ideas by clicking here!
Without further ado:
This was Wyatt's first birthday party, and with him being my oldest and this being my first opportunity for a themed party, I put a lot of thought and crafting into it!
This birthday party theme just came to me one day while I was reading Eric Carle's book to Clyde! It was probably one of the easier parties that I've done.
This party takes the cake (pun intended) for being the easiest party in this list! Just add a bunch of pink and yellow decorations, get some lemonade-flavored treats, and you are good to go. I even had a little yellow dress for Gwen to wear for her party, and she looked too cute.
I really had a vision and invented this theme for Clarice's first birthday. This one may be near the top of my personal favorites list, mainly because of the PERFECT cake my sister made for the party!
I really struggled with picking a theme for Georgie's first birthday, because it fell right during the fall. I wanted a really cozy vibe, but something that looked girly too. I saw a donut board on a different blog, and decided right there to get Derek to build me one and just go with that. It turned out so pretty!
I am going to cheat a little and add one non-birthday party to this list, because I think the decorations were so cute and could be used easily for a birthday party theme! This was actually our 4th gender reveal party, and it was so fun.
When we do themed parties, I tend to do them thoroughly, because most years we don't do formal birthday parties at all. Most years we celebrate quietly with a birthday cake, a family outing, and presents before watching a movie as a family. I suspect that the quiet birthdays will be just as special to my kids someday as the years we did a big party.
Happy Saturday!
You've had some great themes over the years!
