We did winnie the pooh for DS's 1st Birthday Theme and got the suppplies from party stores and some stuff we ordered online.

Are there any shows that your DS likes?

I think we are going to do red, white and blue. His bday is right before 4th of July and DH is all patriotic!

Re: Theme for Boy's First Birthday?

He LOVES LOVES LOVES the monkey mail from disney channel. But they have NOTHING of this anywhere, not even stuffed animals.

He does really like winnie the pooh and mickey mouse clubhouse as well.

I just wasn't sure if we were going to do sports theme, or show theme

Re: Theme for Boy's First Birthday?

We are doing a lil' slugger theme. I got a lot of the stuff from Celebrate Express.

Re: Theme for Boy's First Birthday?

I did a trucks theme. I used big constructions vehicles for centerpieces with a few balloons and assorted candy all around. We did not do a themed invite because DH didn't want every gift to reflect the "theme". I did number 1 invites.

We did Sesame Babies

Re: Theme for Boy's First Birthday?

we did our DS' first bday at a chinese restaurant. so we decided to do a chinese junk boat theme. i made junkboats almost everywhere. i used martha stewart's mayflower template and drew out teh shape of a sail (that looked like a junkboat's sail). everything was handmade which helped cut costs down. using construction paper, i cut out shapes of junk boats and pasted them onto seating cards, gift bags and cake stand. i used poster board from staples and cardstock for the sail for the centerpieces. filled the centerpieces with goldfish crackers. it looked very nice throughout, i must say ;)

for the cakestand, i bought foam blocks from a local hardware store (nearly 70% cheaper than getting it from craft shops) and built a 3 tiered cake. fyi: i had cupcakes instead of a sheet cake.

i originally wanted a circus theme. but the restaurant (chinatown brasserie) was very nicely decorated that i thought the circus theme would clutter things.

we had such a great time!
