First Birthday Party Ideas
Birthdays (1)
1st birthday themes to celebrate the big 'one'!
Your child's first birthday is an exciting time to celebrate not only their milestone but also your own achievement on getting through this challenging year.
Choosing a theme is a fun way to add character to the party, and to commemorate your little one's favourite fixation of the year. It could be a book, TV show, animal, colour or season – anything that makes them smile!
We've asked members from our platform of mum groups, which theme they put together for their child's first birthday, and here are the most popular answers:
Books:

Nursery Rhymes / Songs:

TV Shows:

Movies:
-----------------------------------------
Animals:
-----------------------------------------
Month / Season:

Profound Themes:

Misc:

Finally, if it's more of an adults social gathering, you could always go for a "Yay, we survived!" theme with a few drinks.
Do you have any other first birthday party ideas or photo inspiration we can include? Let us know in the Mothered discussion group.
