1st Birthday Party Theme Ideas

When you start planning your child's birthday, one of the first things to consider is the 'Party Theme'.  There are endless party theme ideas & supplies available and it can often be overwhelming trying to choose.  

I always let my children choose their party theme once they are old enough but for baby's 1st Birthday some ways to choose a meaningful theme could be basing it on a special book you read to them, the same theme as their nursery or bedroom or based on a cute cartoon show. 

Here are some fun party themes for 1st Birthdays; 

Owls
There are lots of cute owl products available and Hoot & Hootabelle from Giggle & Hoot are popular choices for party themes. (See our 'Giggle & Hoot Party Ideas blog post over on the menu for party ideas for this theme)
