Your child’s first birthday is coming up and it’s time to celebrate, not only that your child is turning one, but that you made it through the first year of parenting …Woo hoo! So, let the cuteness ensue, here are some incredibly fun first birthday party ideas to kickstart your planning.
Super fantastic fun & functional first birthday party Ideas
Step 1: Paper Invitations for the first birthday Party
I am such a sucker for paper invitations. If I can find an excuse to send out a great card or invitation, I will do it. and I feel that 1st birthdays count as a worthy reason.

E-Vites for virtual first birthday Parties
Electronic invitations are undoubtedly more affordable and greener but frankly not as gush-worthy cute as the ones you’ll find to get online. I actually did both a paper and e-vite invitation for my daughter’s first birthday because so lots of a lot more people respond to the E-vites. Plus, they actually have some cute features now and for a few bucks, you can send one without all the ads.
Step 2: choosing the party Food
When you are thinking of first birthday party food ideas, you can either go crazy or keep it simple. You can channel your inner Martha Stewart with homemade, thematic snacks or buy pizza & call it good. considering that your baby and his “friends” may have a limited menu, it’s hard to please everyone anyways.
One of my favorite 1st birthday food ideas is a candy bar, like visualized below. It is incredibly low-cost and can look adorable, plus everyone loves candy. and those who don’t… well they can take pleasure in the fruit and veggie platter.

Super easy diy 1st birthday Decorations
Now that I’ve intimidated inspired you with party details that are literally out of Martha Stewart’s media empire, I leave you with some first birthday party ideas that won’t break the bank or your back when it pertains to adding pizazz to your party.
1. Banners and Arches
Balloon arches are absolutely a thing ideal now and we are all for it! You can put them in the entryway, going up the stairs, or as a backdrop for the birthday girl’s high chair like visualized below. I also love the mylar balloon letters, which can be simply taped up on the wall.
Donut grow Up Themed party with Balloon Arch from Balloon Bonanza
Making a balloon arch yourself is possible, but it’s a pretty big undertaking. We recommend finding someone near you who can make one for you and have it delivered. If you are in southern California, check out Balloon Bonanza!
2. diy Balloons and Decor
My pal can always make the most basic decorations look great. She says it’s all about placement. having the balloons at different heights is appealing to the eye and makes the party look a lot more festive.
I always hit the party store and get a bunch of balloons on the morning of my kid’s parties. They fill up any dull space in your house or yard and toddlers go nuts for them. (They are also horrible choking hazards, so keep them up high and monitor any interaction with balloons and one-year-olds closely.)
3. custom-made Decor

Having some customized items will make your little one’s bid day feel extra special. Plus, they make for terrific keepsakes to add to the baby box. You can either print out your own or find an artist to whip up some special decoration just for you. I love this special centerpiece by crazy ’bout Crafts, check out her shop here!
4. through the Year pictures 1st birthday Party
If you are on the lookout for low-cost 1st birthday ideas that are incredibly cool, you’ll love this! My sister-in-law posted a photo or each month of my nephew’s first year and displayed it on this vintage door.
Don’t have a vintage door lying around, me neither, so use some old frames (I feel like I have an limitless supply of those). You can also display them on some craft paper or just stick the pictures up throughout your home. It makes a terrific conversation starter as well to have your guest see how your baby has grown throughout the year.
A little Over the top Fun
Have a pony Party!
This seemed a little over the top to me for a first birthday party idea, but I have to say when I went to a first birthday party the 1-year-old loved it and all the other kids were absolutely thrilled out of their minds.
It is an especially terrific option for families trying to find backyard birthday party ideas for 1 year old.
Have a tiny Petting Zoo!
If you want to make sure that the kids at the party will be entertained a petting zoo is terrific for ages 1 to 100. We recently went to a party with llamas, sheep, turtles, tiny alligators, pigs and more. all of my kids from 2-13 had a terrific time.
Face painting or Balloon Animals
Having a face painter will always draw the greatest line of kids even for a first birthday party. a lot of kids up till about the age of 9 or 10 love the idea of getting a balloon animal or their face painted. Plus, with face painting, if you have a teenager around she can use some basic stencils to do the face painting and then you don’t have to hire anyone.
Room Decorations
Not everyone is into having a big bash for their little one. If you’re trying to find basic 1st birthday party ideas at home, I recommend doing a cute room decoration celebration. sneak in before your baby wakes up in the morning and decorate their room.
This has become a long-standing tradition in our family and I think it’s the most special moment of every birthday now!
Step 4: Cake Smash
Of course, this big day is not complete without opening gifts and eating some smash cake! A cake smash is when the one-year-old blows out their candle (with a little help) and takes their first bite of birthday cake! One thing is for sure, it is an charming conclusion to the baby’s first birthday.
