First Birthday Themes We Love!
It’s no secret that we here at Play Date love birthdays! But we definitely have a soft spot in our hearts for first birthdays! There is something so special about seeing family and friends all come together and reminisce on the first year of a child’s life. And not to mention, there are so many super cute first birthday themes! So, we have decided to compile a list of some of our favorite birthday themes we have seen so far and some that we would love to see here at Play Date!
Birthdays for a Time of Year
Winter One-derland
Since winter is about to begin, we had to put this one at the top! This is such a cute theme for a winter baby! Lean into pinks and purples for girls, or blues for a boy, or keep it neutral with white and silver! And fun fact, this was the theme of the first birthday we ever hosted at Play Date, so it holds a special place for us!
Lucky One
If you have some Irish blood in the family, love celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, or have a baby turning one around St. Patty’s Day, Lucky One is a cute theme! Stick true to the green and gold colors or add a dash of pink. Don’t forget to put chocolate gold coins in the favor bags!
Some Bunny is One
Have an Easter baby or just one that loves animals? A bunny theme is perfect! This high chair banner is super cute! We love the pastel colors that come with spring!
Berry First Birthday
Perfect for a summer baby, or one that loves berries! This theme can easily be for a boy or girl, cause who doesn’t love a good berry? While the below banner may lean more girl with the flowers, it is adorable!
One Sweet Peach
Another fruity theme, perfect for those kids who love fruit more than anything, or a great summer birthday theme! This banner would be perfect to add to a photo backdrop!
O-fish-ally One
Does your family love to fish and are raising the next generation of fishermen? This is the perfect theme to celebrate! The kit below has all the birthday decor essentials.
One Happy Camper
This theme is perfect for the family who loves camping! This theme has lots of renditions, but this set of a cake topper, high chair banner, and cupcake toppers inspired by the National Parks is adorable!
Spooky One
Here’s one for the October babies! Celebrate Halloween without the true spookiness and have a fun Halloween party! Maybe the spookiest thing about this party is that your baby is already one! There are lots of color ways for this theme. Here’s one with the traditional orange and black!
Cutie Pie
This theme is the perfect one for anytime in fall! Lean into your favorite pie or showcase a ton of different flavors! Apple, pumpkin, pecan, french silk, the possibilities are endless!
Themes for anytime
Beary First Birthday
Who doesn’t love a teddy bear? This one is so cute for any time of year and for a boy or girl. How cute is this little crown for the birthday boy or girl? This would be so cute for one year pictures or pictures with a smash cake!
One Silly Goose
Does your little one have a goofy personality? One Silly Goose is the perfect theme to pay homage to their silliness and have a bit of a trendy theme, everyone seems to be a bit of a silly goose now right? The colors on this high chair banner are so cute!
First Trip Around the Sun
We love the versatility of this theme! You can choose to go with a bright and sunny theme, showcasing yellow and gold, or go with an outer space theme! This space themed set of decorations has you nearly set!
Wild One
Do you have a little one that belongs in the jungle? Or loves all the animals? These table centerpieces would be so cute to decorate. As a double, you can quiz your little one on what sounds their favorite animals make!
One-der the Sea
This is another versatile theme! We have seen it as a Disney princess theme, mermaids, or even just all the fish and submarines! This tableware set would be perfect if you want to showcase sea creatures!
Sweet One
This is perfect for your little cookie lover! Cookies and milk as a snack make this theme! This theme could also work with donuts as opposed to cookies!
Sport Inspired
Hole in One
Are you a golf family celebrating a first birthday? What’s better than a hole in one! Maybe just your baby turning one! This high chair banner is supper cute! Throw in a couple golf ball balloons and you are set for a perfect smash cake photo!
First Year Down
This one is perfect for all the football families! Showcase your favorite team or keep to green and yellow like a football field! The set below has everything you need to decorate!
First Rodeo
Celebrate your child’s first birthday in style with a western theme! This is such a trendy theme right now and is perfect for either a little boy or little girl! This high chair banner is so cute and versatile, but includes all the aspects that make a cowboy or cowgirl, jean, paisley, and cow print!
First Lap Around the Track
Calling all racing families! While we haven’t seen this theme for a first birthday yet, we have seen the racing theme “Two Fast”. Both showcase how fast the first years go by! The red cars in this decor kit are super cute!
