Baby’s First Birthday
Twelve months of cuddles, milestones, growing and learning — now it’s time to celebrate your little one turning ONE.
Planning Baby’s First Birthday
Your baby won’t remember how big the party was — but you’ll remember how the day felt. Plan a celebration that works for your little one and your family.
Choose Your Style
Decide whether you want a simple family celebration, a photoshoot, or a bigger first birthday party.
Pick a Theme
Choose colours or a theme that reflects baby’s personality and keeps the styling easy to coordinate.
Plan Around Baby
Work around naps, feeds and baby’s happiest time of day so they can enjoy the celebration too.
Capture the Memory
Take milestone photos, family pictures and little detail shots that tell the story of baby’s first year.
First Birthday Theme Ideas
You don’t need an elaborate theme. Start with something you love and build a few simple details around it.
ONE in Neutrals
Cream, beige, blush and soft earthy tones for a simple and timeless first birthday.
Teddy Bear
Soft brown, cream and beige tones with teddy details for a warm little celebration.
Pastel Rainbow
Gentle pastel colours, clouds and rainbows for a playful but still soft look.
Wild ONE
Sage, beige and playful animal details for your adventurous little one.
First Trip Around the Sun
Warm yellows, cream and sun details to celebrate baby’s first year around the sun.
No Theme Needed
Choose two or three colours you love, add a cake and balloons, and let baby be the star.
A beautiful setup is lovely, but a rested and happy baby will make the day much more enjoyable for everyone.
