Party Alert – Decorations for a first birthday

Kinder, Paar, Kleidung, Kuscheltiere?, Dekoration

Are you planning your baby’s first birthday party?

Then decorations for the first birthday are probably already on your to-do list. Whether first birthday decorations are really necessary is a matter of opinion. What matters most is how you feel about it. If you would love to decorate for your baby's first birthday party, then go for it! After all, you are not only celebrating the fact that your baby is turning one. You are also celebrating your own happiness during the first wonderful year together. A first birthday party is therefore a very special occasion, even if the birthday child will not remember the party or its decorations later on.

Still looking for the perfect first birthday decorations? Then our partner website Junior Partyshop is the right place for you!

How much decoration is enough for a first birthday?

Our recommendation is simple: decorate in a way that makes you feel happy. If you have always dreamed of a first birthday party filled with decorations centred around the number 1 or ONE, then create exactly that celebration. Just keep one thing in mind: more decorations mean more work. Everything needs to be purchased and/or crafted, put up and eventually taken down again. In some cases, too many decorations can even become overwhelming for the birthday child. However, as long as the preparations do not turn into pure stress and your baby feels comfortable, everything is perfectly fine.
If you prefer a more minimalist style, you will definitely save yourself some work.
No decorations or just a few simple touches are ideal for anyone short on time or who prefers to keep things simple for the birthday child.

Decoration ideas for a first birthday

1. Bunting Garland

You have probably documented your baby’s development over the past twelve months with lots of photos. Turn those pictures into a beautiful first birthday decoration by hanging them on a string with small clips. This creates a personalised garland that showcases your child’s journey from birth to their first birthday.

2. Balloons

Balloons are particularly fascinating for little birthday children because they are colourful, can float and make fun crackling noises when played with. While preparing your first birthday party, keep in mind that balloons can burst if squeezed too tightly, which may give your child quite a fright. Also make sure that balloon fragments or any confetti inside are not put into your child’s mouth. Foil balloons are more durable, but they should never be released outdoors because they are not biodegradable.
