First Birthday Theme Ideas For Baby
I pulled together these 9 party themes all using a play on the word one. For each theme I tried to find a cake topper, a high chair banner, a balloon garland, streamers, invites, a monthly photo banner and party supplies. All of these adorable decorations are from Amazon and easily linked right below the inspiration photos. Enjoy!
1. Buzzy Being One
First up, is “Buzzy Being One” and I’m dying over how adorable this is! The more popular name for a bee themed party is “happy bee-day”. I wanted a way to incorporate the word “one” though so I think “buzzy being one” is just as cute. When I think of a bee party I think of all things yellow, brown, black and gold/orange!

2. How The West Was One
Your little cowboys FIRST rodeo! I can totally imagine an adorable smash cake photo of a chunky baby wearing a bandana and a cowboy hat going to town! I love this idea and you could easily sneak in and incorporate some toy story/ Woody touches in here too without it become too character-y. Make it a costume party and have a contest for best get-up!

3. Wild One
Okay, chances are you’ve definitely seen this theme before. It’s pretty popular and for good reason – just look at it! A jungle safari party for your little wild one would be so fun! I’m thinking Rainforest Cafe vibes, tons of “vine” garland hanging from the ceiling and Katy Perry’s “Roar” playing in the background. Too cute!

4. One Sweet Peach
This birthday theme would be perfect for a spring baby! It gives me all the spring time vibes and I love it. So, for this one I just could not find a single cute streamer or plate/utensils option. I literally searched Amazon all night. Instead, I found adorable backdrop that would make the perfect background for your cake and snack display. I also found little “sweet as a peach” cups that would make the perfect addition!

5. Alice In ONEderland
Why am I dying over this theme idea?? So dang cute! Having a mad tea party birthday is honestly just a dream. With this theme you could keep it as “Alice” in Onederland or change it to your little ones name. The cake topper I have listed is customizable so you could easily have it fit whatever you choose to do.

6. Three, Two, ONE.. Blast Off!
Celebrate baby’s first trip around the sun with a party that is out of this world! There are endless possibilities when it comes to a space themed party, my mind is running wild. Galaxy lite projectors, astronaut “freeze dried” food, galaxy slime sensory bins, so many fun ideas! Quick note before I share links: When I was looking for a space high chair banner this was the cutest one I saw. BUT, it has one major flaw. One of the fabrics it uses is pirate patterned? Like, why. Reviews say you don’t really notice it unless you’re up close but I just wanted to give you a heads up so you don’t miss that detail!

7. One In A Melon
A “one in a melon” party for a one in a million baby turning ONE! The ultimate summer birthday party theme – anything watermelon! This idea is as sweet as your little one and as cute as can be. I’m living for all the fun, light, summer vibes going on with this! You have so many exciting games and foods you can tie into this. Just think, baby watermelon eating “contest” (omg!), popsicles, a fresh fruit spread and so much more!

8. One Happy Camper
Why do I love this theme so dang much?! Ugh, I’m obsessed with the whole baby bear/momma bear trend. This is perfect for anytime but I’m in love the idea of this on a crisp, cool, fall day. A late afternoon party with a campfire, an adorable marshmallow bar set up, cozy blankets, everything! I’ve even seen like mini crotched beanies with a beard that would be so stinkin’ cute for photos!

9. Donut Grow Up, Sweet One
Lastly, this adorable, extra sweet theme! Donut grow up, stay little forever! A couple quick things about this last theme I put together.. First, I couldn’t find a donut high chair banner that I really loved and didn’t come off too cheesy. Instead, I opted for a cute little donut stand that would be the ultimate addition to a donut party! If I had to choose a high chair banner though, it would be this one. Even though it’s not really donut themed, the colors would still pair nicely. Secondly, I’ve seen too many donut parties that scream “Homer Simpson” to me if you know what I mean, so I really tried to keep the bright, bold, pinks to a minimum here. I would just be mindful of this if you decide to throw a donut party.
