10 Party Favour Ideas for Kids of all Ages and DIY Party Favour Ideas for When You're on a Budget: Planning Parties Shouldn't Be Hard!

Before deciding the party favour ideas for 1st birthday, the first step is to consider the theme of the birthday. Not keen on any specific theme, then simply stick to the gender-based theme. For example, everything will be pink and more girly for baby girl’s birthday while more blue colour and boyish props would be used in a baby boy’s birthday party. This is the most obvious and easiest theme you can go for. It is also easy to set up the party for this theme.

Everything about Disney is perfect for kids and makes this theme a popular one while planning the 1st birthday party of your kid. A broad Disney theme birthday party is particularly a cool idea as it gives you flexibility. You can ask all the parents to dress up their kids in different Disney character costumes and you too can hire people dressed up as Disney characters to entertain kids. Make sure that the props and the food match the theme.

Another popular kids birthday party theme doing the rounds recently is the mermaid theme. Whether it is about dressing up your kids as Ariel or Ariel’s Father, it is all fun when the theme is so interesting. Include more blue and sea green colours in the décor and don’t forget to keep up with the right kind of food options too. This can turn out to be a really fun party for kids.

The carnival theme is another cool concept to execute as it gives a very lively and fun dimension to the party. You can hire merry-go-rounds, clowns and put up various food stalls making the party really epic.

Minions have become a widely popular cartoon character, thanks to the recent movies based on them. Not only parties, but you can find a lot of kids stuff based on minions theme like school bags, water bottle, tiffin box etc. A minion cake and using lots of yellow in the party would make a perfect minion theme for the 1st birthday of your child.

How else can you celebrate a kid’s birthday than giving out chocolate chip cookies to everyone? You are celebrating the 1st birthday of your child which means there will be parents coming along with the babies as they are too small to be there all by themselves.

So, such kind of party favours would be perfect for both the big kids as well as their parents. But there is something about these cookies which sets them apart from other types of chocolate chip cookies often found in the market.
