In many ways, a first birthday party is more of a celebration for the parents than the baby. And parents should celebrate -- after all, keeping a baby healthy and thriving for those first 12 months is a big job!
Of course you can celebrate in any way you choose, but many parents will host a party and select a first birthday theme to set the tone for the day. Popular options include themes focused on food, sports or puns. We've created a list below to help you brainstorm.
Don't be afraid to think outside the box and create a first birthday theme that uniquely represents your family and growing toddler!
