My Daughters 1St Birthday Party.

I was thinking the same as the last post. Elmo is red, and Cookie Monster is blue. Some July 4th streamers, baloons, etc. would match perfectly.
Don't stress too much. This is about having fun, and enjoying time with family and friends as you celebrate your daughters special first birthday. Have a great birthday!!

I was thinking the same thing with Elmo and Cookie Monster! I'm sure they can do a red, white and blue cake with those characters on it.

Sesame Street can incorporate the Red, White and Blue theme. Elmo and Cookie Monster:)
Happy Happy!!!

You just answered your own question. It's the 4th of July; so make it easy on yourself. If you want, add some stuffed animals for your baby in the mix. There will be plenty at Walmart and Walgreens; maybe even target. ( they are usually blinged out with red, white, and blue on them.

Or, just pick something that she likes and add a little red, white, and blue in the mix.

At 1 yr, my husband and I did a pirate theme as this is what we like and my son's room is nautical/pirate. His birthday is July 10th, and this year we're doing a motorcycle theme. At 1 yr, it really didn't matter and this year it doesn't either but he is a little older.

He likes Elmo too, so I am going to add Elmo to his cake. I did look for Elmo items but didn't find too much when I was out. I could have ordered them online; however, he loves motorcycles too. Maybe he likes them because my hubby has one and he sees them all the time. We are surprising him with this theme as he gets so excited every time he sees them.

Hi, M.. How about "Celebrating the birth of our nation and the birth of our daughter?" She was born into this country, the land of freedom; maybe dress her up as an all-American baby? And then have red, white and blue balloons, table cloths, etc. Truly, there is no strict rule on how to throw a first birthday party. Have fun with it!

How about Sesame Street - but it's a little babyish if you're trying to throw in a July 4th party too... How about a Carnival, or Radio Flyer theme? These two are both pretty unique, and incorporate red and white. GOOD LUCK!

HI M., I totaly get that is't fourth of july....but my thought on It is that it's your dauhters birthday. I would do the whole 1st birthday theme and forget 4th of july for the first part of the party. get the pictures have the memory. the the second part of the day switch it over and go see fieworks. I always go back to my daughters 1st b-day pics and I love them. My advice don't inccorperate this. Wishing you the best and whatever you decide it will be great!!!!

This may sound dumb but you can kinda do Sesame Street.....Cookie Monster is blue and Elmo is red and they both have white in them, you can play with that?

Unfortunately, your daughter won't remember a single thing about this special day which for the most part, is a special day for you and her daddy. Don't worry so much about a theme. Go with what you like and enjoy!

If you have time you can go to one of the party stores and get some of the napkins or plates personalized with her name on it this way you still keep the red white and blue but it pertains to her. I hope this helps also the ballons too. Good Luck, don't stress and have fun! www.DiscoveryToysLink.com/LIsaRyan LIsaM

How about God Bless America as He Blessed Us With YOU!!! Good luck & God bless you all

As a July 3rd baby myself, I had a lot of those cardboard silver stars and red white and blue streamers. My mom usually made me a cake with blueberries and strawberries on white icing as a flag. One time she got really creative and did little fireworks instead of a flag out of different fruits.

Sesame street would also work fairly well if you can find any that are more than just Elmo.

Red white and blue work well with a farm theme if your baby likes farm animals. My son has a July 1st bday and this has been his favorite. red & white checkered tablecloth, blue bandanas, etc...If you don't go all out 4th of July theme, then what's more American than a farm? Have fun!
