Top 5 First Birthday Party Themes – Ellie’s Party Supply

August 1, 2022

The first year went by in a blink and all of a sudden it is time to plan your baby’s first birthday. Whether this is your first baby or not, the first birthday is a milestone for you both and is worth celebrating.

There will always be new and trendy themes to choose from, so it can be a hard decision, especially when your little one can’t tell you what they want yet. Do you go with a gender-neutral theme or one that is a classic girl or boy theme? You might already have an idea of what you (or your baby) may want and once you choose a theme, everything else will fall into place.

This party isn’t just for your baby, it’s for the tribe that helped you get through the first year, so make it fun! You will have many birthdays ahead, so whichever personalized theme you choose, you will savor those special moments to the fullest.

Whether you’re planning a small or large party, our first birthday party themes below will help you find the perfect fit for your little one!

How to Pick a Birthday Theme

Picking a birthday theme for the first year can be a little cumbersome. You might feel an expectation to throw a big party from what you see on social media or maybe you’re just having a hard time deciding between all of the fun options.

So, here are a couple of ways to help make your decision easier.

When to Host the Birthday Party?

If your little one’s birthday doesn’t fall on a weekend, is around the holidays, or you just have too much going on, when do you host the party? You can do the weekend before or after if hosting a large gathering or if it will be a smaller crowd with immediate family and close friends, see if a weekday would work!

Whether it be in the spring or fall, the season will play a part in which colors to coordinate. For example, a holiday birthday would be best for a “Winter Onederland” party. Or a fall party, “Our Little Pumpkin Turns One”. You get the idea, there will definitely be a holiday-themed party to coordinate with the first birthday!

Along with the season comes the weather. This will also help determine your venue and how big your guest count will be.

How to Pick the Perfect Theme?

While this may be your only chance to pick the theme, how do you pick the very best one? You might have one in mind, one that your little one already gravitates towards like a specific song, toy, cartoon, or food.

An easy route would be picking one of the favored items. Or you can go with one that you will enjoy planning all of the party details for! The choice is yours the first year before they start making demands, so make it fun!

Answering the above questions will help you pick out a theme that will be perfect for the occasion and will be one to remember.

How to organize a birthday celebration for a teenager

When planning a holiday for a teenager, you need to know his preferences, what he enjoys, what gives him pleasure. Only then can preparation begin. All children are different, perhaps your child does not like noisy companies, and two or three friends are enough for him as guests. If you plan the event in advance, you can avoid many difficulties.

Budget

Decide on the amount you are willing to allocate for organizing the event. Distribute it in parts: for food, room decoration, gifts for competitions. Leave a small portion for unexpected expenses.

Venue

This moment is best discussed with the birthday person. It can be a cafe, a street playground or your own apartment. Based on this, the bulk of the budget will be formed. List of invitees. This is usually the responsibility of the birthday person. But you, as parents, must control and take into account the fact that friends of friends can come. Accordingly, calculate the additional costs.

Date and time

Select the best day for the holiday. Focus not only on a convenient time for yourself, but also so that all guests can come. If the number of guests is not large, then you can ask everyone if he is free that day. The best option is to distribute invitations in advance.

Do not turn down the help of relatives and friends if they are ready to help in the organization.

Choosing a place to celebrate

You can spend a teenager’s birthday both indoors and outdoors. The second option is great if you live in a private house, if the weather allows it. In addition, if a child really wants to spend his birthday in nature, but the family lives in an apartment, you can always rent an inexpensive gazebo in the park or settle on a cozy summer terrace in a cafe.

Home birthday is cozy in its own way, moreover, many teenagers are not averse to spending their long-awaited holiday within the walls of their favorite house or apartment. The main thing is that no one distracts or disturbs them during the celebration, therefore, when choosing a place in a house or apartment for a holiday, it is advisable to take care of the room where the parents will be without interfering with the party. If the music in the venue is loud, it is advisable to warn the neighbors about it.

If the party is to be held at home, the celebration can be held in the living room or in the hall. It is desirable that the room is spacious, and several zones can be organized in it. Girls, for example, are very fond of dancing, while boys often do not mind playing games. There must be a place for all these entertainments.

In addition, do not forget about the place for placing treats, as well as a recreation area.

The theme of celebrating a teenager’s birthday

Themed holidays are a trend of recent years. They think over the script, select costumes, even the treat on the table matters. What are the themes for the holiday?

American Party

It can be selected for any time period: Country, The Great Gatsby, Mid-Century America or Modern Time. It all depends on the preferences and age of the child. Certain music is selected, the room is decorated according to the chosen era, invitations are issued in the same style. It is worth paying attention to food: for example, cake with the Statue of Liberty, cupcakes with the American flag, burgers with fries and Coca-Cola.

Military style

More suitable for older children. Clothing, decoration of the venue will be in military style. This option will fit perfectly for the street: sports games and competitions require more space. The festive table implies simple treats, without frills. But they can also be decorated in the theme of a party: buy camouflage dishes, put soldiers and military equipment on the table with snacks.

Italian party

Of course, the basis of such a holiday will be food: pizza, pasta, Italian desserts, ice cream. Don’t forget about the decoration. Balloons, invitations, table setting should be in white-green-red colors.

Superhero Encounter

Perfect for teenagers who love superhero movies. Each guest comes dressed as their favorite character. It is advisable to know the roles in advance so that all the boys are not Spider-Man, but the girls are Catwoman. You can not be afraid for the design — a large scope of decor will not hurt the style. Garlands, balloons, stickers and pictures of superheroes can be placed everywhere.

Other party themes

Parents can invite the boys to have a cowboy-style party or an «Around the World Party» if the child and his friends are into travel. Teenage girls will surely enjoy a pajama-style party or a beauty salon-style party.

How to decorate an apartment for a holiday

Sometimes balloons and greeting posters are enough to create a festive atmosphere. If you have time and inspiration, you can make a collage of photos of the hero of the occasion and his friends. Also stock up on accessories: caps, bows and pipes will cheer up even big children.

You should also take into account the specifics of the holiday. For a bachelorette party or pajama party, decorate the room with flowers and soft toys, spread pillows of different sizes on the sofa, and cover the floor with warm blankets. In this case, it is better to dim the lighting as much as possible: a pair of sconces will be enough.

If you are going to have a disco and dynamic games, then you should take everything superfluous and fragile out of the room in advance: armchairs, whatnots, flowerpots, figurines, etc. In this case, a garland on the wall will fit in very harmoniously — it will visually fill the void, as well as will become an additional light music. Move the table with snacks to the corner so that the dancing youth does not inadvertently touch it.

If you are planning a themed party, you can’t do without extra expenses. However, for a party in the style of «Mafia» it is not necessary to buy a poker table, and «Hipsters» will do without a rare tape recorder.

Style is in the details, so pay more attention to accessories and colors. The atmosphere of Chicago in the 30s can be successfully recreated with a black and white combination of objects, and for a vampire party, a red and black palette is suitable. Several thematic photos on the wall will complete the picture.

What to treat guests on a teenager’s birthday

A teenager’s birthday can be perfectly celebrated at home. Only one condition: you don’t need to turn your birthday into a “eating room” with several changes of dishes.

We should dwell on the feast itself in more detail. So that the birthday boy and guests are not “lethargic” and literally tired of plentiful food, it is best to organize a buffet table or a buffet. Snacks on convenient skewers, various sandwiches, pies, cookies with surprises, and a lot of soft drinks should be served at such a table. The food is simple but satisfying. It is very good if there are a lot of fruits on the table. You can also cook one — but only really one — simple «signature» dish.

However, remember that teenagers have an excellent appetite, which means that the food on your «buffet» should not only be varied and beautiful — there should be just a lot of it.

And at the end of the feast — of course, a cake with candles, because no matter what teenagers say, in their hearts they are still the same little children who love sweets and surprises.

Note! When developing a menu, do not forget that teenagers are not interested in sitting at the table for a long time, decorously using cutlery. Most likely, a cheerful company will prefer to return to food several times between other things, or even settle down with pieces somewhere on the sofa or balcony. Do not cook dishes that can cool down, turn sour or stain furniture — this way you save your nerves and do not spoil the holiday.

Funny contests and games for a teenager’s birthday

How to make a home party interesting and original? To entertain children at home at a birthday party, it is recommended to prepare funny and interesting contests in advance, as well as consider holding a variety of games.

What to play at a party

Teenagers don’t like contests. This reminds them too much of their childhood, when such entertainment was arranged at kindergarten and school holidays. Therefore, it is not worth acting as a toastmaster, it is better to unobtrusively throw a couple of ideas to the guys.

Kinopanorama

The meaning of this entertainment is simple: prepare in advance cards with pictures of famous actors and singers. Each participant receives such a card, but does not show it to the others. He must, without words, explain to the guessers who is depicted on it.

Chubby Bunny

This simple game is very popular among foreign teenagers. It’s called Chubby Bunny.

To play, you will need several packs of marshmallows (or caramels). Each participant puts one marshmallow in their mouth and says the spell word «Chubby Bunny», then another marshmallow is sent into the mouth and so on. The winner is the one who holds all the marshmallows in his mouth and at the same time can pronounce the cherished phrase.

«Truth or heroism?»

During the period of mutual sympathy, not a single teenage party is complete without the good old games: «Truth or deed», «Word or challenge», «Kit-shove-meow», «Bottle bottle».

It is better to agree with the guys in advance so that the tasks are not too difficult and do not go beyond the law and decency.

You will need two sets of cards for Truth or Dare and Word or Dare games. Questions will be written on some cards, assignments on others. If the player chooses “truth”, then he draws a card from the pile of questions and tries to answer the question as honestly as possible. If he likes “action”, then, accordingly, a card is drawn from the pile with tasks.

During the game «Kit-sho-meow» one player stands with his back to the others. The host quietly points to any participant and asks: “Kiss?”. If the player answers: «Shoot!», then the leader points to the next one and asks the same question. When the player answers “meow”, he must turn around and complete the task proposed by the leader with the selected participant.

Game «Pantomime»

This game is known to many as «crocodile». One of the contestants receives a secret word. The task is to try to explain it to the other players using gestures and facial expressions. You can’t use speech or point at any objects here. Participants try to express their assumptions. And the leader shows with signs whether they are close to the truth. If things come to a standstill, then you can try to show the word in parts. The guesser takes the place of the leader.

Dance Karaoke Competition

For the competition, you need to prepare several videos with clockwork dances and display them on the big screen. The children take turns repeating the dance moves. The winner is chosen by the strength of the applause.

«Guess the personality» competition

The names of all guests are written on pieces of paper. Then they are distributed to the children. Each teenager describes the person he inherited. The rest guess who it is. It is advisable to focus on the character and behavior of a person, and not on appearance — it will be more difficult to guess.

Enchanted Artist Competition

The right to draw a beautiful picture is given to those who can and love to draw. The host reports that he bewitched the artists, they became motionless. The artists hold a felt-tip pen at their outstretched hand. Children from the team approach the artists and take turns moving a sheet of paper along the tip of the felt-tip pen. The winning team is the one whose drawing turns out to be original, interesting.

Competition «Where is the birthday boy here?»

Participants are given a set of children’s photos. Purpose: among them to find a photo of the hero of the occasion. Who did it faster, he wins.

Where can I go to celebrate a teenager’s birthday?

Celebrating a teenager’s birthday outside the home is both easier and more difficult than at home. On the one hand, you won’t need to cook anything, you won’t have to think about big cleaning after the holiday, it’s easier to organize entertainment, and in general you can invite hosts with a ready-made birthday script. But on the other hand, such an event, firstly, can be very difficult for the family budget, and secondly, it implies your responsibility for all minor guests whom you invite to the holiday.

If funds allow, and you are sure that there will be enough adults at the party to ensure that nothing happens to your teenager’s guests, you can choose from several options.

A teenager’s birthday can be very fun to celebrate in the water park, rollerdrome, climbing wall or ride ATVs. The main advantage of such a celebration is that the birthday man and his guests have a place to “turn around”. You can run from the heart, jump, shout — break away from the soul.
Just sitting in a cafe is a common but boring option for teenagers. Usually it is combined with a visit to a bowling alley, cinema or entertainment center.
Many teenagers will surely like to play «shooters» — paintball, laser tag, quasar. You can please a teenage girl by arranging a professional photo shoot or shooting a “movie” in her honor — she can feel like a real singer, model or actress.
Perhaps a teenager and his friends share some common hobby, for example, cycling. Then organizing a hike to some beautiful and unusual place is a great option.
Another great option is a birthday party at an equestrian club. Usually there are sleigh rides or carriage rides, depending on the time of year, and you can always ride ponies and horses.
If summer is outside, then you can celebrate a teenager’s birthday by having a picnic in the forest, on the lake, in the country. It is only important not to forget to grab another ball or badminton set along with snacks and barbecue.
Holidays are very interesting, where teenagers are offered a live quest: participants must play a certain story and solve a whole series of riddles, while visiting several objects in the city. To organize a live quest, you need to contact special agencies, because the success of the event depends primarily on the professionalism of the hosts.
And finally, you can always order a themed holiday show from the agency with professional hosts, which is held either in a cafe, or in a special club, or on a rented water bus.

Important! When deciding where exactly you will celebrate a teenager’s birthday, try not to repeat yourself. Even if your teenager and his friends really like, for example, bowling, he is unlikely to be pleased if he celebrates his holiday there several times in a row. Anyone on their birthday is formed into something new, but for teenagers this is not just joy — it is a need to enter «adult life» and get what «yesterday it was still impossible, but now it is already possible.»

Adolescents are often embarrassed by the presence of their parents. Take it easy. Remember: your presence at the event should be inconspicuous and delicate. After all, the main thing is if you hear after the holiday: “Mom, dad, it was cool!”

A teenager’s birthday is, first of all, not different chores, but a holiday with a capital letter. May this holiday become the most beloved and unforgettable for your teenager!

Oscar Party — Birthday — 128 answers

Lovely girls, girls, ladies. This post is over two years old! And I no longer have a script, and never had one. I just offered to share one of the contests. I’m sure that after some surfing the Internet you will be able to create your ideal scenario…

This year I turned 30 years old. And since this is an anniversary, I decided to arrange a holiday for myself (before that, I did such theme parties only on the occasion of the birthday of my husband and children). But I decided to celebrate two months after my birthday. There were several reasons for this: both religious (just fasting began on February 23), and I don’t like the end of February because of the weather (I hoped it would be real spring at the end of April), and I wanted to prepare thoroughly.

Next, I’ll write about my findings and ideas for decorating an Oscar-style party. If it is useful to someone, I will be glad.

1. A month before the celebration, I sent out such invitations to the guests. A designer at my work helped me with this, but someone can do this himself.

2. I ordered a brand wall print, against which we then took a photo. I printed it at my work, a banner sized 2.2×2.5m cost 950 rubles.

3. I bought 10 meters of red fabric (plain chintz) for the red carpet. 500r

4. On the site www.cool-editor.ru I made comic videos with the participation of each guest. I came up with nominations («Actress of the Year», «Actor of the Year», «Best Makeup», «Soloist of the Year», «Superhero», etc.), according to which each guest received his long-awaited Oscar after the video was shown! I printed out each nomination on a printer and pasted it on a separate envelope, in which there was a card with the name of the guest. After watching the video, a card with a name was taken out of the envelope and an Oscar was awarded))

5. Made Oscar figures out of soap and covered with gold acrylic paint. Soap mold + soap base 360 rub. Acrylic paint 100r

Alternatively, you can bake cookies in the shape of Oscar figurines.

6. Ordered 30 goal balls. We order from a friend, 750r.

7. For the Make-up Artist of the Year competition, she prepared a presentation in which she made fragments of the faces of famous Russian and Hollywood actors. The guests guessed the actor/actress and received a small carved Oscar. At the end, whoever got the most correct answers received their reward. (who needs it, I can try to send it by mail).

8. You could also make a music competition. To do this, you need to collect musical cuts from famous films. And the guests would have to guess the name of the movie. But, unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time for this (((

9. I printed out the photos of the guests on A4 sheet in advance and pasted them on the seats in the “audience hall”. By the way, I made an impromptu red curtain and Ikeevskaya bedspread on the bed, which it just turned out to be the right color)))

And this is how it looks at the real Oscar ceremony.

And then the X-day has come. The red carpet and a reporter with a cameraman, whom my husband and girlfriend kindly agreed to play, were waiting for the guests at the entrance. The reporter asked the guests humorous questions about the birthday girl, and the operator filmed everything on camera. Later, at the end of the entertainment program, we reviewed the video of each guest and checked how accurately the guests answered the questions. Accordingly, the best received the «Psychic of the Year» award. For example, the questions were:

— In what year did the birthday girl go to first grade?

— What color is the birthday girl’s diploma of higher education?

— Model of the birthday girl’s first car?

After the solemn part (when all videos were watched and all awards were presented), there was a banquet. And from entertainment, we already traditionally have games: mafia, crocodile and poker (the strongest usually live to the last).
