I need a theme for my sons 1st bday party. i don't want any cartoon theme though...something different! HELP!?

Question

I was gonna use pirates, but my sis in law beat me to it...now i'm stuck! I was leaning towards an Army theme but i feel like the theme isn't for a 1year old? I just don't want the typical sponge bob, mickey, elmo...theme. And yes, I'm going all out...even though he's only 1. =)

Answer 1

what about cow boys and indians or a zoo theme!!

Good luck

Answer 2

animals, jungle, cars, whats wrong with a fav charater, he is only one.

Answer 3

You've received some great answers.  I just wanted throw "balls" out there as a suggestion (football, basketball, soccer, etc).  

Answer 4

We did frogs, but you could do any animal or rain forest.  Also a theme on construction vehicles or trains can be cute too.  You can also look to your son, does he have a favorite thing in his toys or books that isn't a cartoon?

Answer 5

Have whatever you like, or have no theme at all.

He's ONE YEAR OLD. He won't care. You'd be much better off saving the money for something that he will care about.

Answer 6

Make the theme that he's the little prince, get him a little crown, make his high chair into a 'royal throne' for the day - it will look great in the pictures when he eats his cake. Go to www.birthdayexpress.com - they have party stuff in this theme and it is soooo cute! I wish they had had it when my son turned one.  

Answer 7

Have a fairytale birthday; the girls can be princesses and fairies whereas the boys could dress up as princes, knights or even frogs if they wanted to! It would be gorgeous!  

Answer 8

What about farm animals, or maybe jungle animals?

Answer 9

I'm also planning my son's 1st birthday party. I'm going with the firefighter theme since his father is a firefighter and it will also be held at the firehouse, but the decorations are just too cute. I found my supplies here http://www.birthdayinabox.com/ there are so many to choose from and even if you don't order there you can still get ideas. Good Luck and I hope your sons birthday is wonderful!!!  Just try not to stress out!!!

Answer 10

Nancy Ajram-ya tab tab

Answer 11

I used the "theme" of his nursery for my son's first and my daughters first...Ducks and for my daughter Roses.

My nephew had a Ball theme -- it was great.

They used an upside down mixing bowl - as the Cake Pan and decorated it in a Beach Ball.

The cousins got favors of mini blowup beach balls, and bouncy balls - gum balls for the older kids.

and the party was at a beach -- or you could see if you have a workout center that you can rent time for a pool party, for your family, or a basketball game for all the dads coming.

Answer 12

carnival/circus?

i will be doing a fish thing for my son here in a couple months. :D

Answer 13

My friend did Ladybugs for her daughter's first.  For a boy, you could do Lions, Puppies or Dogs, Firetrucks, Farm Animals, or just choose a favorite color and do the decorations in that.
