Celebrate Baby’s First Birthday with Fantastic Mr. Fox

Baby’s first birthday deserves a special party theme and a party based on a favorite Roald Dahl book/movie is fun for guests of all ages. Holly from Spifftacular recently planned an adorable Fantastic Mr. Fox party for her son Lars, complete with quotes from the movie and crafty paper fox crowns for the guests to wear.

Her party looks festive and affordable, which is a huge plus in my book! I’ve seen many parents overspend on lavish parties for baby’s first birthday, forgetting that they’ll be plenty of time for fancier celebrations when their son or daughter is old enough to remember what is going on.
