At its core, a first birthday is a party for the parents. Because your little guest of honor is too young to properly appreciate your party-throwing efforts, you can still go all out. After all, you passed your baby’s first year of existence.
This article will assist you in your work. Scroll down to see some fun ideas and pick the one that best fits your budget, tastes, and preferences.
Party Decorations
Even if you have to stay close to home, celebrating a first birthday may be a lot of fun. We kept things simple for my daughter’s first birthday earlier this year since it felt like a nice way for me to avoid becoming overwhelmed while dealing with a lot of last-first-baby feelings! These decoration ideas will allow you to enjoy your day without having to put in too much effort, stress, or planning.
If you’re having a birthday party in the winter or if the weather forecast for the day of the party isn’t looking good, you may need to play it inside. Indoor parties can be a lot of fun, and there are a number of creative themes and ideas to choose from. Here are a few ideas for indoor celebrations:
Photo Booth
Create a photo booth in a well-lit space for lots of laughter at the party and lasting memories. For a backdrop, choose a brightly colored tablecloth or a large piece of fabric with a wild print and hang it on the wall.
Then collect a variety of amusing props, such as hats, wigs, funny glasses, fake mustaches, and boas, and store them in a large basket nearby. Any older children at the party will enjoy dressing up, and the parents may enjoy making fun of their children — and each other.
Mini Ball Pit
Playing with plastic balls is a terrific sensory experience for babies and toddlers, both boys and girls, so this is a great 1st birthday party idea – just don’t go too crazy. Inflate a kiddie pool in your rec room or living room, and fill it up with this 200-pack of phthalate- and BPA-free balls from Amazon. It will not only occupy your infant and other children under the age of two, but it will also provide great photo opportunities for your guests.
Party Games & Entertainments
You’ll need some entertainment if you’re expecting a large number of children and adults to attend your party. You want the entertainment to be suitable for one-year-olds while also being manageable for their parents.
Keep in mind that toddlers have short attention spans, so entertainment that lasts a long time or costs a lot of money is generally not the best idea. There are numerous games to choose from, but here are a few to think about for your party:
Time Capsule
All you need are pencils, paper, and a box for this party activity. Ask your guests to write a short letter to the birthday girl to be read years later. Offer ideas for what to write to prevent writer’s block, such as helpful advice, a memory from the celebration or first year, or future wishes.
Keep the letters in a container labeled “Do not open until you’re 21.” (or whatever age you like). If you’re throwing an online party, have guests send you submissions via email, which you can then print and save for a later date.
Who’s That Baby?
Request that all guests give you a photo of themselves as a baby in their invites. Then, with a number underneath each, blow them up and place them on a wall or a large bulletin board. Hand your guests a sheet of paper with numbers on it and ask them to jot down their guesses for who each baby photo represents at the start of the celebration. At some point, go over each photo and say who it belongs to, and provide a prize to the individual who gets the most of them right.
Party Foods & Drinks
At your baby’s first birthday party, have some fun with the party food. Cookie cutters can be used to make anything from sandwiches to biscuits to pizzas. Because some one-year-olds don’t have all of their teeth, softer foods like cucumber sticks, bananas, and other chewable items are perfect.
Try colorful fruit smoothies and interesting jelly and ice cream combinations for sweet snacks. They’re also sweet and squishy, making them ideal for small children to eat. Fresh fruit, chopped up into baby-friendly bits, is also a good option because it’s lovely and easy for little ones to eat.
First Birthday Party Invitations
Without invitations, you can’t have a birthday celebration. How would people know to come if they didn’t hear about it elsewhere? You can make or send invites in a variety of ways to ensure that your guests are not only aware of the event, but also when and where it is taking place.

Birthday Cakes
Oh, I adore a good birthday cake, and these are my absolute favorites when it comes to first birthday cakes and cupcakes. The majority of these can be prepared ahead of time, and some are suitable for children with food allergies such as eggs and dairy. They are all delicious enough to share with the rest of the family.
With two of my favorite recipes, make a batch of quick cupcakes to enjoy with the family. Each of them is lower in sugar than a regular cupcake, but they’re still excellent for a 1st birthday celebration!
This combination is one of my favorites, with a bright and tasty icing and less overall sugar—and both the cupcakes and the frosting can be made ahead of time!
