Here is a list of party theme ideas. Theme is key! Once you pick a theme, you can plan that party!
1st Birthday Parties...
Since the guest of honor for this party is too young to help plan it or most likely choose a theme... It's all up to you! Enjoy the control while you can. It doesn't last long.
Character birthdays are always a good idea and there are usually a wide variety of party supplies available.
