Girls 1st birthday themes

A first birthday is always special to celebrate as well as to plan. Choosing a theme can be a little difficult however since your child doesn’t have an opinion yet! I’m in the midst of trying to choose a theme for my son’s 1st birthday and facing this issue at the moment (view this post if you’re planning your son’s 1st birthday for boys theme ideas)

So to help those of you planning your little girl’s 1st birthdays here are some fantastic 1st birthday dessert tables to inspire you with some theme ideas! These are all from the wonderful vendors on the Life’s Little Celebration’s directory.

Click on any of the below images to be taken to the Business where you can see more details and photos of the party.

Pink and gold is still such a popular colour combination for girls parties and suits a special first birthday celebration as seen here in this Ballerina 1st birthday and Princess 1st birthday:

 

 

 

 

Just as a Circus theme is a very popular theme for boys 1st birthdays, a Carousel theme is just as popular for little girls (and I used this theme for my daughters 1st birthday):

 

 

I always love a pink/yellow combination and a Little Miss Sunshine or You are my sunshine theme is gorgeous for a first birthday:

 

 

A theme that is equally as sweet is a “Sew cute as a button” theme as seen gorgeously here!:

 

 

With summer coming up you could base a 1st birthday around some summery themes like these amazing ones!:

 

 

 

Another idea is to base the party around a more neutral item such as a colour or shape such as this fun geometric 1st birthday party!:

 

 

An owl makes a popular and sweet 1st birthday theme and here are a few different takes on this theme:

 

 

 

 

For a little girl you could also just go for a generally pretty and floral theme such as these gorgeous events seen below:

 

 

 

 

Especially with spring around the corner this gorgeous lovebird theme is wonderful for a 1st birthday party:

 

Such a gorgeous colour mix of peach and mint in this “Dream big little one” dream catcher 1st birthday!:

 

 

Rainbows is always perfect for a first birthday as seen in this rainbow unicorn first birthday party!:

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this selection of 1st birthday dessert tables and it inspired you with some fantastic birthday theme ideas for your little girl’s 1st birthday! It is such a special party to plan for – I hope you enjoy the planning! x

Unicorn Party – Real Party Feature

Today I’m sharing a fun Unicorn party for 3 yr olds, using many Life’s Little Celebration’s directory vendors – based around the book ‘Thelma the Unicorn’ by Aaron Blabey.

 

 

This is a really sweet and simple setup making it perfectly do-able for mum’s wanting to throw something together for their unicorn loving child! The pink sequin tablecloth looks amazing but you could make a similar setup work with a white tablecloth for another option.

Those pretty white tassels are from Love the Occasion and could work into so many party themes!

 

 

A lot of the creations on this table were handmade by vendors in the Life’s Little Celebration’s party directory – meaning that they can custom create similar items to suit your child’s particular party theme.

The cupcakes were dressed up in these pretty glitter Unicorn toppers by Sugarlicious Parties:

 

 

 

 

 

Gorgeous custom cutlery was created by Bespoke Party Products:

 

 

 

I love these muslin favour bags by Glitter and Glue design with a glittery unicorn print! :

 

 

 

 

You really can’t get any prettier than glittery tulle poms – from Pom Pom Princess:

 

 

The cluster of tulle poms looks so pretty together and teamed with the cute unicorn head from K-Mart make an easy backdrop:

 

 

This is such a cute theme and really popular at the moment and I hope this setup has inspired you!
