HOW TO CELEBRATE A FIRST BIRTHDAY!

A first birthday is a major milestone and calls for a very special celebration (for little ones and parents too – you’ve completed a year of parenting after all!).  Throw your one-year-old a super cute party and get all those adorable snaps (to embarrass them with at their 18^th!). Here are a few ideas to get your planning started…

INCLUDE A CAKE SMASH

What’s a first birthday without a cake smash? Let the birthday girl/boy loose, have fun and get messy while you get those all important pics.

Check out our DIY Cake Smash Kits in blue or pink for everything you need (just make sure to bake/buy the cake too!).

GO BIG ON THE NUMBER 1

It’s their very first birthday so make sure you get that all important number one in every picture possible! From Foil Balloon Number 1’s to One Napkins and Plates, Cake Toppers and Candles – because they’re only one once!

DRESS UP

Is there anything cuter than a little person dressed as a darling little character? We think not! From Sequin Wings to Shark Capes, Flamingo’s to Pirates or Princesses – and the ultimate in cuteness, an Owl costume that’ll melt your heart – they are guaranteed to look completely adorable (and yup, the photos will be amazing too!).

KEEP IT SHORT & SWEET

There’s only so much partying a one year old can take (and they’ll need to get that all-important nap in) so make it simple, set a table with treats, put on some music and let them go wild (for a short while!).  We have all the tableware and party decorations you could possibly want to set the scene and make it magical – no matter how short you keep it.

SEND MINI PARTY PEOPLE HOME WITH A BALLOON

A balloon is possibly the most exciting thing when you’re only one – so there’s no need to go big on party favours – simply gift every guest with a colorful or themed balloon and they’ll be soooo happy!
