Puppy Birthday Party/Celebration Suggestions Derby turns 1 yr old on October 26th. I would like to put together a little Birthday Party for him and would like any suggestions from those of you with experience in the Birthday Party Department.:) Cake Suggestions & Recipes Party attire, hats, etc Party Favors Anything you can think of would be great and so appreciated! It is close to Halloween so should I do a Halloween Theme or keep it in the Blue Tones and so forth? Thanks so much!:aimeeyork |
I think a Halloween party would be SOOO much fun! He could wear his costume for some pictures and then you could get him like a Halloween Tshirt for the rest of it. Plus you would be able to find some great decorations. Do a couple of orange and black balloons on the mailbox. We just had Jamie's 1st birthday and did a fiesta. All the bright colors... blue and yellow and orange. I made Peanut Butter Pupcakes with cream cheese as icing. You could probably color the icing orange for Halloween. For your human guests you could just make carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese icing (from the can). You could also find a recipe for dog cookies and use halloween cookie cutters. I have used melted down yogurt drops as icing. The bonus is you can make human cookies that look like just like his. (Maybe a different shape so no one gets confused.) I'll post the recipes that I use when I get home this afternoon. |

1 Attachment(s) We just had an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday for Rory's 1st birthday in August! We held it the dog spa where she attends daycare regularly, and I think it went great. We had races (set up with mini orange cones and streamers), Alice in Wonderland trivia (for the human guests), musical hares (like musical chairs, only we just put doilies on the ground and when the music stopped the dog who wasn't sitting (not so strict on this - just had to be touching and definitely stopped position) was out. The grand finale was when a pinata burst open and tons of mini tennis balls (Rory's favorite toy) dropped out. You can probably base some ideas for Derby's party off those things depending on what his favorite things are. The decor was like a tea party, with pink, blue and metallics setting the theme. A lot of the dogs came in "Alice" costume or simply dressed for a tea party, which I think made it easier on the parents. My late bullmastiff's birthday was October 22 and I did quite a few Halloween themed parties for him! It was so fun to have him and the other guests in costumes! As far as the cake goes, the dog spa made the cake for Rory's party, but I do know she used cream cheese for the icing and I have seen several recipies online for doggie cake. For my bullmastiff, I always did (human - I know, bad mom) cupcakes that he could inhale in one bite! I personally like it better when the party is done like it is for a "human" with dogs kept in mind rather than something that is totally dog-themed, but that is really a personal preferance. I have tried to attach some pictures, which will hopefully give you some ideas! I have a lot more that need to be uploaded. 100_3487.JPG (image) Good luck and please post pictures afterwards! ETA: Rory "Alice" 1st Birthday Those are some of the pictures from the party - quite a few still need to be uploaded. |
