1st Birthday Party Guest Gifts

Hi, it’s Ashley from neutral hue, here to share a fun 1st birthday party idea for your little boy!

We had the most wonderful Woodland Animal celebration for my son Wyatt’s 1st birthday party! He’s all boy and his nursery is decorated in a neutral palette of antlers, linen & burlap, and deer wood-cut prints so it was the perfect extension of how we welcomed him into the world a short year ago.

The adorable “Frances the Bear” invitations from Rifle Paper Co. set the perfect tone from the start and were the inspiration for the party {along with their adorable ABC poster print}. As always, I gathered things I loved on this Pinterest Board, just for Wyatt’s birthday to keep everything creative and in order.

I found a variety of tiny felted and bottlebrush woodland animals and used them to hold little kraft flags on toothpicks to mark the food and other dishes we had for guests. And, used wooden utensils, mason jars, rustic wooden serving pieces and platters to also help set the tone.

One of my favorite elements of the party was Wyatt’s ever-important smash cake {and a few other cakes we made for the guests, of course!} that were made-from-scratch chocolate cakes with a white butter cream icing. Set atop each cake was finely crumbled oreos with little evergreen trees from the craft section. They came out even better than I had envisioned, and Wyatt loved his first taste of dessert!

Our guests left with a little take-home gift that included some of Wyatt’s favorite things, a cute polka-dot kraft bag with animal crackers and a little wooden shaker to add some fun.

We loved making a celebration of our special guy’s 1st birthday party. What themes have you hosted or considered for your little boys?

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
