Fun to Be One Birthday Decorations

A Fun to Be One party mixes bright colors, animals and hats small enough for a one-year-old. Start with the mini pom-pom hats with crowns, the top pick for this search: 9 cones about 5.3 in tall plus a gold and a silver crown, sized for toddlers and handy for the smash-cake photo. Then add one large focal piece, such as the 30 x 20 in snail foil balloon for an animal or garden theme, or the 30 x 24 in yellow smiley birthday balloon.

What to look for

  • Most one-year-olds pull a hat off within minutes, so take the hat photos first, before cake and before naps get close.
  • Put a crown on the birthday baby and the cones on older guests, or on stuffed animals sitting around the high chair for a party-animal scene.
  • One big foil balloon looks better in photos than a scatter of small ones. Filled with air it can hang on the wall behind the high chair; filled with helium it floats.
  • Keep balloons, ribbon and loose pom poms out of reach of crawling babies, and pick up any popped balloon pieces straight away.
  • For parents and older kids, the 7.9 in rainbow foil cones match the bright palette and are big enough for adult heads in photos.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need for a Fun to Be One party?

A simple set is mini hats for the little ones, one large focal balloon and a few bright accents on the cake table. Our birthday supplies checklist covers the rest.

Will mini party hats fit a one-year-old?

The mini cones are about 5.3 in tall with a 3.54 in base and are made for toddlers and young kids. Keep the elastic loose under the chin and stay close while the baby wears it.

Do the foil balloons need helium?

No. The snail and smiley balloons float with helium or can be filled with air and hung on a wall or backdrop. See inflating foil balloons without helium.

How big are the balloons?

The snail balloon is about 30 x 20 in and the smiley balloon about 30 x 24 in when filled. Plan a spot about 2.5 ft wide for either one.
