As always, the Tip Junkie Party blog has HUNDREDS of first birthday party cake and party themes so you can always search there if you’re looking for something in particular. Tip Junkie just turned 4 years old. {whoohoo!} So we’re celebrating with the 4th Annual Birthday Bash. We’ll be featuring birthday party ideas all week {several times a day} as well as giving away some pretty fab prizes.
That’s a Wrap On the Big ONE
1. One Year Old In A Flash Party - This party has so many fab elements like the Photo Props, Dessert Table, invitations and decor. A lot of love when into this first birthday party.
2. That’s a Wrap on the Big One – I just love the damask, pom-pom, and checkered mix of fabrics and colors in this darling “that’s a wrap on the big one” birthday party.
3. 1 year old in a flash – A darling orange and gray decorated party in the theme of “1 year old in a flash”, it had elements like a time capsule, photo props, as well as a 12 month picture banner.
4. Celebration Of The First Year - I just adore the yellow and navy color scheme of this first year birthday party. Katie went all out and even spray painted her daughters high chair to match the decor!
5. Once Upon A Time - This “Tiffanys’ blue” and white theme is so romantic and clever for a 1st year birthday party. I just adore all the gorgeous accents and that table cloth is fantastic.
The ABC’s of a 1 st Birthday
6. Alphabet 1st birthday – The source of inspiration for this 1st year party came from her son’s initials, “Cc“. The modern school alphabet theme is such a fun and personalized party theme.
7. Alphabet/flashcard party – Here’s another modern alphabet party that incorporates the child’s first name and fun decor in big large letters throughout the party.
8. Vintage School Themed 1st Birthday Party – So many special touches bring back the grade school days from the Dick and Jane paper dolls to the little ABC blocks.
9. Cardboard Box Party - Little ones usually love the box as much as the gift, so why not plan an entire party around the fun you can have with a cardboard box!
Book Themed Parties
10. Very Hungry Caterpillar – In honoring of cherishing time, this very hungry caterpillar was the perfect theme for this little guys first birthday. You’ll love the decor!
11. Curious George First Birthday – You’ll appreciate all the love that went into this party. My favorite is that her man dressed up. {snicker}
12. Little Miss Sunshine – I just adore this yellow “little miss sunshine” party theme. I remember the books fondly as a child and I think it’s so bright and celebratory for a first birthday.
13. Where the wild things are - It’s a predominately yellow and orange color palette with hints of blue and green splashed throughout. A mixture of DIY and purchased stickers/tags gave all of the elements of the party a personalized touch.
Animal Themed Parties
14. Darling Elephant Theme Party – This is an adorable teal, red, and gray party that’s so clean and fresh for an elephant party.
15. Evan’s Elephant Party - Evan’s party was held at Warner Center, a photography studio located in Culver City. Evan’s mom, Jenny, didn’t miss a single detail while planning this party
16. Zoo Party Theme - An over the top Circus first birthday theme for a little one who loves animals!
17. Olivia the Pig – I already have the TV Show theme song in my head. {snicker} This red with black and white damask is stunning and I just love that Olivia attended the party as well.
18. Maggies Animal Parade - If your little one loves animals – then consider yourself hooked up with an amazing party idea.
19. Moose and Zee - This is such a stinkin’ creative party! Down to the decor, games, and I just adore her Moose and Zee party bags. {fab!}
Fun First Birthday Themes
20. Balloons Make Me Happy - I love the light blue and silver colors throughout this party. They played Pin the String on the Balloon, which was just adorable idea.
21. Bubble Birthday Party for Kids – A bubble theme is perfect for any age, especially little ones. Who doesn’t just love bubbles!
22. Aqua and Red – Seriously this is such a chic party for a little man. i just adore the aqua and red combined with the stripes and details.
23. Sunshine and Flowers Themed 1st Birthday Party – I thought this was such a cheery and fun first birthday theme for a little girl.
24. Preppy Baby Red & White Party - I could not help but smile seeing the red and white bunding and polka-dots everywhere. What a darling party and twist for a 1st year boy party.
25. Pink Lemonade 1st Birthday – From the darling photo props, to the food, to the decor – this swanky mom thought of it all!
1 st birthday cakes

I was so excited this morning to see this and see that my daughters 1st birthday was included! Thank you SO SO SO MUCH!
First birthday parties are so much fun! There are some really cute ones here. For my youngest, we did a Milk and Cookies First birthday. It was a fun way to celebrate the fact that he could now drink cow’s milk and was also a fun party to have lots of people and adults at.
You can see my post about it here:

Okay, those little cupcake toppers with the baby’s face are just TOO CUTE!!!! I may have to do that for my daughter’s 2nd b-day.
These are sooo cute! Thanks for sharing them…getting some great ideas!
Kiddie birthdays are so much fun to organize/plan… maybe it’s because a huge chunk of my heart is still a child, too. But these ideas are great, thanks for sharing them all!
Every single one of these is perfect! I love the pink lemonade one and the little airplane box is fab! All the details are amazing everything looks so great!
Wow…I love the bag…and your website..I am a Tip Junkie for sure…It would be great to win the bag and show it off to Sondra…I am going to comment on facebook too…thanks for all you do…Brenda
Wow, these are all so cute. I really love the cupcake toppers with the birthday girl’s face, they are adorable and so funny.
hi I wanted to make a special party for my baby but thanks you here i got good idea..i like your birthday party theme selection..wonderful..
If you’re in a not good position and have no cash to move out from that point, you will need to receive the mortgage loans. Because that would aid you for sure. I get car loan every year and feel myself great just because of this.
Honored to be included in your round-up!
The credit loans are important for people, which would like to ground their career. By the way, that is not really hard to get a financial loan.
Do not money to buy a building? Do not worry, just because it is real to receive the loan to solve all the problems. Hence take a auto loan to buy everything you need.
great theme.I love the idea and the pics are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us these beautiful pics. I love it.
