I hope you enjoyed the ladybug party finds and you have lots of fun planning a ladybug party for your little one!
A first birthday party is always so special to plan! Your little boy generally doesn’t have strong specific likes/dislikes and of course has NO preference when it comes to a party theme which means you have free reign to choose any party theme you feel will suit your child. I’m brainstorming ideas for my own son’s 1st birthday next year and am currently thinking of an ice-cream theme or perhaps a vintage tricycle theme.
To inspire you today I’m sharing some fantastic boy’s 1st birthday themes/setups by Event stylist vendors on the Life’s Little Celebration’s children’s party directory . I will soon do another post for little girl’s 1st birthday themes. Hopefully this post will give you some new ideas or party planning inspiration for your son’s 1st birthday!
Now of course for a first birthday party you could also go with ‘no theme’ and base it more around a colour scheme such as this amazing setup!:
Boys First birthday party- Sweet Bits and Pieces (Sydney)
Love these cute bow-tie themed parties. Perfect for a little man!:
Bow tie first birthday – Memories Are Sweet (Qld)
Mustache and bow tie first birthday – Memories Are Sweet (Qld)
How bright and fresh does this 1st birthday dessert table look?:
Cheeky Monkey first birthday party – Sweet Soirees (Sydney)
You could base the party around a favourite story book you enjoy reading to your child. The very hungry caterpillar is a very popular first birthday theme and a lot of fun to plan!:
Very Hungry caterpillar first birthday – Easy Breezy Parties
A few more first birthday party themes to inspire you:
Soccer world cup 1st birthday – Parties and Prints
Soccer world cup first birthday party – Parties and Prints (WA)
A hot air balloon theme is always fantastic for a first birthday:

Hot Air Balloon first birthday – Sweet Soirees (Sydney)
Rainbow first birthday party – The Sweet Cart (WA)
Under the sea first birthday party – Ever so sweet lolly buffets
Geometric lamb 1st birthday party – Sugar Coated Candy and Dessert Buffet’s (VIC)
A nautical theme is definitely a popular 1st birthday theme for boy’s. Here are a few setups to inspire you:
Nautical first birthday party – Opulenticity Party and Buffet Styling (WA)
Nautical first birthday party – Easy Breezy Parties (Melb)
Nautical first birthday party – Memories are Sweet (Qld)
The circus is always reminiscent of childhood which makes it another popular first birthday theme for boy’s:
Circus first birthday party – Events by Nat (Sydney)
Circus 1st birthday – Sara Jade Wedding and Events
Vintage circus first birthday party – I Heart Table Art (WA)
Little kids love animals so a jungle, safari or farm theme party is another great choice for a first birthday party!:
Jungle Safari first birthday party – Opulenticity Party & Buffet Styling
Farm first birthday party – Sweet Soirees (Sydney)

If you like the rustic looks then a cowboy theme is another great first birthday party idea:
Vintage cowboy 1st birthday party – I Heart Table Art (WA)
Cowboys and Indians 1st birthday party – Events By Nat (Sydeny)
Another cute idea is to base the first birthday theme around popular children’s characters, shows or movies for a fun birthday setting. Here are some ideas:
Toy Story first birthday party – El Evento (Sydney)
Pinnochio first birthday party – Lettuce & Co
Sesame St first birthday – Dream a Little Dream Parties (WA)

Ending off is this fun ‘Royal’ theme which you could have a lot of fun with toy soldiers etc like in this setup:

I hope you enjoyed the inspiration and if you are planning your son’s 1st birthday (like me) I’d love to hear what theme’s you are thinking of!
Something I am passionate about is assisting (even in a small way) the vendors in the Life’s Little Celebration’s directory in the running and promoting of their business so more people can discover their fantastic talents and products!
I am no business expert however so I’ve been organising some online Q & A sessions with people who ARE experts in their field. These chats have been run within the private group on Facebook I’ve set up for vendors, so any LLC Directory vendors regardless of their location can join in.
Recently we heard from the lovely ladies at The Digital Picnic – Cat and Cherie:
They are social media and digital management experts who run some fantastic courses for small business owners.
During the chat the vendors asked questions which were relevant to many in small business. Questions relating to Facebook reach, Instagram, sharing images, useful APP’s to help them create images to share and more.
The Digital Picnic ladies were so generous in offering useful advice to all the vendor and we all gained a lot of insight and tips in how to do things smarter and better in the area of digital marketing.
They run courses all around the country so if you are looking to better your knowledge of digital marketing make sure you keep an eye out on their website for all the details!
This week we are having a Q & A chat on photography – specifically photography tips for vendors when taking photos of their dessert tables or products. This is key in such a visual industry such as the party industry as well as important for creating great photos to share on social media or blogs.
Art party – Styled and photographed by Sweet Style
Leanne from Sweet Style who is both an amazing stylist as well as photographer will be sharing her tips to our vendors whether using their iphone or an SLR. Leanne also runs workshops in Sydney for small business owners covering these topics and you can sign up on her website to be updated as to when her next workshop will be running.

I am also really excited that Sarah O’Bryan who has written the book “Business and baby at home” will be running a Q & A session with the vendors in August!
Business & Baby at home
Sarah has appeared on the TODAY show and written in numerous magazines – sharing advice for mum’s running a business from home which she covers in her book. As a busy mum of 3 with a successful business in Graphic Design which she runs from home, Sarah will be answering many relevant questions and this will be a fantastic and practical Q & A session!
I’m really excited to be bringing these Q & A sessions to my vendors and am looking forward to organising a few more for this year covering various topics.
Nic from Merc + Jones (one of the vendors on the Directory) recently wrote to me saying:
“I’m so incredibly happy to be a part of LLC – your service and offerings are above and beyond what I was expecting (in fact I wasn’t sure what to expect!) so I am constantly amazed at the benefits of being an LLC vendor/member! “
It literally made me smile to read that as I do truly believe being a part of the Directory is much MORE than only a listing on a Directory website! If you are interested in finding out more about joining the Directory and seeing if your business aligns with Life’s Little Celebrations, please email me at lifeslittlec@gmail.com
