BABY’S FIRST BIRTHDAY THEME IDEAS

first birthday ideas

Every time I start to think about the fact that Harrison will be one in less than two months, I get overcome with all of these emotions. This first year of his life is hardly what we ever imagined, but it has given us a the gift of more time with him, which is all any parent can ask for. As his birthday draws closer and closer, I have started rounding up some of my favorite first birthday theme ideas and decor inspo. We did a fun little half birthday celebration with just the 3 of us for Harrison to give us a little joy while we were still in the thick of quarantine, but now that it’s his big first birthday, I am definitely going to make it an exciting celebration.

Our First Birthday Theme Ideas

For Harrison’s party we are sticking to more of a color scheme than an actual theme. Since his room is animals and neutral colors, we are going to stick to something along those lines. We will definitely have some sort of ballon display, and I am really interested in renting some of those large light-up letters to spell out ONE. See some of my inspo below! We are considering some local vendors for balloons and other decor, but I will share some similar products I’ve been eyeing online below!

While we are keeping it more color-schemed than themed, I wanted to share some really fun and creative ideas I’ve seen for first birthday parties. This is such a momentous occasion for you and your family, that I think it should always be celebrated if possible! So many family gatherings have been put on hold, but I definitely think it is still fun for parents to have the ability to go all out, even if it will be just you and your little one! I am just sharing some of my favorite color schemes as well and individual decor that I feel an entire can come together using!

In my opinion, a large ballon display really can bring an entire party together so I definitely plan on having one for Harrison. We’ve had a few balloons in the house and he is fascinated with them, so I am really excited to see how he reacts to a million of them on his birthday!

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
