First Birthday All Star

First Birthday All Star Party Ideas

Is your family big into sports? If so, First Birthday All Star is a theme perfect for your son's first birthday party. Blue decorations with images of soccer balls, footballs, basketballs, baseball caps and balls make this theme easy to decorate to.

Some party planning ideas from our experts:

• Taking photos of your son to insert in the invitation makes the invite more personal. To go along with the sports theme, dress him in a jersey surrounded by sports gear.
• Pom poms and finger ones (this goes with the 1st year birthday perfectly) are great party favors and decorations during the party as well.
• Make centerpieces out of crackerjacks, sports whistles, baseball cards and other sports items in a bucket that guests can take later.
• For the games at your party, prizes could be trophies, ribbons or medals.
• Have face painting so you can paint kids and their parents faces according to their favorite sports team!
• The cake could be so many things. A round cake could be any type of ball, a square cake could be a baseball field and a rectangle field could be a football field or basketball court. There are so many cake possibilities with the all star theme.
• If you are serving cupcakes rather than cake, you could frost the cupcakes as all different kinds of sports balls.
• As a snack, popcorn balls or rice crisp balls are always a welcomed birthday party treat.
• Taking photos of the kids in action while playing ball is a great way to say thank you and makes a good keepsake for parents later. When you are writing thank you notes, slip a photo of their child inside, and they will never forget your son's birthday, or the good time they had there.
