Throwing a first birthday party is a milestone moment, and what better way to celebrate than with a strawberry-themed extravaganza? From decorations to activities and, of course, delicious treats, here's your guide to throwing a memorable strawberry-themed first birthday party:
1. Strawberry-Themed Invitations
Set the tone for your strawberry-themed celebration with cute invitations featuring strawberries. You can either purchase pre-made invitations or get creative and DIY your own with strawberry stickers, stamps, or drawings. Don't forget to include essential details like the date, time, location, and RSVP information.
2. Strawberry Decorations to Set the Scene
Transform your party space into a strawberry wonderland with red, green, and white decorations. Hang strawberry-themed banners, balloons, and streamers around the room. Use strawberry-patterned tablecloths, plates, cups, and napkins to tie everything together. Fresh strawberries can also double as both decorations and snacks, displayed in baskets or bowls throughout the party area.
3. Fun Strawberry-Themed Activities
Keep the little ones entertained with strawberry-themed activities suitable for their age. Set up a strawberry-themed sensory play area with bins filled with fresh strawberries for them to touch, smell, and explore. You could also organize a strawberry-themed craft station where kids can decorate strawberry-shaped cutouts or make strawberry-themed jewelry using red and green beads.
4. Engaging Strawberry-Themed Games
Plan age-appropriate games and activities that incorporate strawberries. A "Strawberry Hunt" scavenger hunt, where kids search for hidden strawberry toys or treats around the party area, can be a fun and engaging activity. Alternatively, set up a "Strawberry Toss" game using strawberry-shaped bean bags and baskets.
5. Delicious Strawberry-Inspired Treats
Strawberry Treats
No strawberry-themed party would be complete without delicious strawberry-inspired treats. Serve up a variety of strawberry-themed snacks, such as strawberry shortcake, strawberry cupcakes, strawberry yogurt parfait cups, and chocolate-dipped strawberries. For drinks, consider serving strawberry lemonade or strawberry milkshakes for the little ones.
6. The Smash Cake Moment
Smash cakes are so important for a first birthday party.
The highlight of any first birthday party is the smash cake moment! Bake or order a small strawberry-themed smash cake for your little one to dig into. Decorate the cake with strawberries, strawberry-shaped fondant decorations, or a cute strawberry-themed cake topper. Don't forget to have your camera ready to capture the messy and adorable moment!
7. Strawberry-Themed Party Favors
Send your guests home with sweet strawberry-themed party favors to thank them for celebrating with you. Ideas include strawberry-scented candles, strawberry-shaped cookies or chocolates, mini jars of strawberry jam, or strawberry-themed toys or stickers.
8. Capture the Memories
Finally, don't forget to capture all the special moments of the day. Assign someone to take photos or hire a photographer to document the festivities. Create a scrapbook or photo album to preserve the memories of your little one's strawberry-themed first birthday party for years to come.
Don't forget to capture your toddler’s smile on their first birthday!
