Have a theme YOU like/want. Your DC has plenty of time to ask for a character theme.
We did Red, white & blue becuase it was right before July 4th. You don't even need a character theme if you don't want one.

ITA. The 1st b-day is for the parents, so do what you want. DC won't understand a "b-day party" for a few years. They'll enjoy the party, but they won't fully understand it until they are older.

we had only 7 kids including my DS and the rest were adults, so i skipped a theme or entertainment and instead put out baby pools, bubbles, balls, a water table, just to keep them busy it worked out great

I am having mostly adults for DS first bday. We are doing puppies for a theme, but I am not going crazy ya know, it will still be more about the adults as far as food/drink goes.

I just did the "1st Birthday" themed stuff. We had more adults than kids. I did get a few big character balloons.

Hey, I had a theme for my wedding and that was ALL adults.
I really think the first birthday is more about the parents than the kid anyway - do whatever you want!!

As others are saying, the 1st Birthday Party is really more for adults than the kids anyway

Not really a "theme" here...we're having mostly adults or babies. It's a lunch at a small local restaurant. The only thing that will be "theme" will be the cake, party favors, his invite, and his thank you's, and a few ballons...Our theme is sports or rather sports balls...he's a boy and loves balls..

We had the Backyardigans theme because this is what "DS" likes not because of how many adults or kids we had.

I had more adults then kids at Julia's first birthday but still did a theme, it was a princess/all her favorite Noggin shows. I also had Pony rides and a petting zoo come, the kids loved it and so did the adults--lol

We are having mostly adults but I just picked up a few 1st Birthday Princess items for decoration purposes. I figured we'll have plenty of years ahead to do different characters. The kids attending her party are either very young or over 12
