Looking for a first birthday theme that is bright, fun and a little bit different?
Fun to Be One is a brand new, trending first birthday theme, and it’s already becoming a favourite!
Bright, playful and full of personality, it’s the perfect way to celebrate that very special first birthday.
Why We Love Fun to Be One
The best thing about this theme? It suits everyone!
It isn’t tied to a particular character, so you can completely customise it to suit your little one.
Think bright colours, fun balloons, colourful backdrops, personalised signage and playful details.
You can go bold and colourful, soft and pastel, rainbow-inspired or choose a completely custom colour palette.
Make It Your Own
Fun to Be One gives you so much freedom to create something unique.
Add a balloon garland, cake plinths, personalised signage and your favourite colours to create a setup that feels completely yours. And because the styling is so bright and fun, it makes the perfect backdrop for those all-important first birthday photos!
DIY Ideas: Add the Finishing Touches & Save Money
You don’t have to have your event stylist do absolutely everything!
One of the easiest ways to make your budget stretch further is to let your stylist take care of the big impact pieces, then add some of the smaller details yourself.
For a Fun to Be One party, there are plenty of things you can DIY.
🎈 Make Your Own Table Decorations
Keep the cake and dessert table simple and add your own colourful touches. Small vases, colourful napkins, party plates, little toys or DIY decorations can make the table feel finished without adding a big styling cost.
🎂 Style the Cake Table Yourself
Your balloon garland and backdrop can create the main focal point, while you take care of the smaller details around the cake. Add the cake, cupcakes, a few decorations and your child’s favourite little details.
🖨️ DIY Your Smaller Signs
Instead of having every sign professionally designed and printed, consider creating some of the smaller signs yourself using Canva. You could make little food labels, drink signs, “grab a cupcake” signs or a welcome sign for the gift table.
🌈 Add Your Own Colourful Details
Fun to Be One is all about colour, so this is where you can really have fun! Colourful tableware, napkins, party bags, streamers and small decorations can all help tie your theme together without costing a fortune.
🎁 Create Your Own Party Favours
Simple party bags are another easy DIY. Add a few age-appropriate treats or little toys and finish them with a colourful sticker or personalised tag.
💡 Spend Your Budget Where It Makes the Biggest Impact
This is our favourite tip. You don’t need to spend money on every single detail.
Instead, think about what your guests will notice first. A beautiful balloon installation and backdrop can create the main visual impact, while you can DIY the smaller details around it.
This can be a great way to get the look you want while keeping your overall budget under control.
Let your stylist handle the big wow factor, and have some fun creating the little details yourself!
