Maren’s 1st trip around the sun first birthday party theme was the perfect way to celebrate this huge milestone! And as much as it is Maren’s 1st birthday party, I feel like the first birthday party is just as much for the parents as it is for the child. The 1st birthday celebrates so many different things — triumphs through the hardships of trying to conceive, pregnancy and childbirth, surviving newborn nights, hitting all the first-year milestones, and watching their personalities evolve.
I don’t know how it happened, but Maren is a mauve girl. Maren’s nursery has mauve tones and her entire wardrobe so it just made sense to that her 1st Trip Around the Sun Birthday Party had a mauvy sunburst boho vibe.
Activities:
I put together a rainbow marker and colored pencil holder and downloaded these adorable busy space-themed coloring sheets so the kids had an activity to do if they didn’t want to swim. I also got a couple of Color Your Own Rocket Ship Playhouses which the kids had a blast coloring and hanging out in.
Kids Table:
I thought these trendy sunglasses would tie in perfectly with the theme so I crafted them myself to make them affordable — it was a really easy and quick DIY. I will say using a tweezer to put the letters helped quite a bit. Here are the products I used to make these personalized toddler sunglasses:
Cake:
I wanted this custom sunburst boho mauvy cake topper to be the focus when it came to the design of the cake so I ordered a naked cake with a white drip top from Patty Cakes in Rocky Hill, CT. The ricotta and Nutella cake is a favorite!
This boho tassel garland tied in so well with the color scheme. We used it as decoration on her highchair for cute pictures with her smash cake
