Ok, I know this has nothing to do with weight loss... BUT..

My son is turning one year old, I have the party hall, the food, the music, the clown, everything planned out. What is my problem then? I do not know what my theme is going to be.. Please help.

And do NOT say sponge bob... grrr
Thanks

    Sesame Street and The Very Hungry Caterpillar were popular in our house around that age! :flowerforyou:

    A lot of people I know have done Sesame street, I'm so sick of it.. and Dr. Seuss could be a possibility

    We did Super Mario for my son's 1st birthday, and choo-choo train for his 2nd birthday. My daughter's 2nd birthday was jungle theme. Other themes: monkey, sock monkey, cars, Dr. Seuss, Yo Gabba Gabba, Thomas the train, and Cars.

    what about a color? like a certain color plates, napkins, balloons, etc. At that age he probably doesn't have a favorite character of some kind.

    Curious George? I always thought that'd be a cute birthday theme :)

    ^ This.

    Or since you already have a clown, maybe a circus theme?

    We didn't have a theme for my son's first birthday (other than the obvious 1 year). Come to think of it, other than the birthday cake he made a mess of, there was very little "birthday party" ish about it...I threw down some pork chops, beans 'n'rice, sweet tea, greens, mac'n'cheese and invited the whole church over. It was really more of a grown folk party.

    If you can't come up with a theme don't worry about it! Soon he'll be old enough to insist on what he wants (and tell you what *you* want to do is "soooo for babies, mom." Just have fun!

    Toy Story?

    Or you could just do a colour theme. Have everything multi coloured (balloons, plates, cups etc) if you cant think of a theme.

    For a first birthday, I always liked jungle animals. Most little guys like monkeys and bears and the like. A monkey cake is easy to make, or you can decorate a sheet cake with cheapy safari toys. Cars, circus, or dinosaurs are other good ideas. They're generic enough to find plenty of party supplies, but allow you to really personalize it for your little guy.

    Disney (cars maybe? We did Ariel)

    this is off the wall but what about lots of color and boxes.... kids love to play with boxes... alphabet blocks, brick boxes to build walls and little forts and just boxes to play in. My nephew loves boxes and makes hours of fun with them. Even likes to get out the crayons and color on them. He even makes his zoo with the boxes. I know like i said it's way off the wall

    Seriously, have a nice birthday cake, maybe lunch at home, invite the grandparents, aunts / uncles. If he interacts with other kids his own age in daycare, or on play dates, maybe a couple of them w/their moms.... he will not know what all the fuss is about. Just take pics of him smearing the cake on his face, and enjoy.

    Otherwise, you are setting a precedent of having to out-do yourself, and worse, your friends, every year. And if you have more kids, it's gonna cost a fortune! ;-)

    Why does it have to have a theme? Can't the theme just be turning one?
