How To Plan A Daniel Tiger 1st Birthday Party Image of Daniel Tiger and Friends Cookies on a platter

For those of you who have been following my parenting adventures, you should know that being a new mom has been one of the biggest blessings in my life (like literally my heart has grown exponentially since having Blaise). Through the highs and lows of learning how to parent, it has been a HUGE year of learning for me and my husband and we know that we hit the jackpot with Blaise. Also getting to celebrate our son’s first birthday was a milestone for us as new parents (you all, we kept a human alive for ONE year…that’s a big deal-haha!)

So the inspiration for the theme of this party came when Blaise was 3 months old! Long story short: one of our wins, as parents, was discovering the magic of Mr. Roger’s Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and the intro song from this show, is played at least 2,000,000 times a day in our house but it makes Blaise so happy, therefore we as parents are happy. So when we were planning out Blaise’s first birthday party we knew we should have a Daniel Tiger party for him because it brings him so much joy and pretty much our house is covered in yellow, orange and red in honor of this beloved Tiger friend.

Since I am a photographer I HAD to take detail shots of the party because why not? Also, I really wanted to share a list of helpful resources I used and I wanted to share it with anyone who is looking to plan either a birthday party for a son/daughter/loved one OR if you are looking for some Daniel Tiger Inspiration for a specific occasion. I had a blast planning out my sweet Blaise’s 1st birthday, and I wanted to create a helpful blog post to point any moms (or dads) in the right direction of having an budget-friendly and “Grrrrrrr-rific” Daniel Tiger Themed Party. Also, Ty and I really try to stick to a reasonable budget, mostly because we are Dave Ramsey people!
