You don't even have to serve strawberries if you are worried about allergies; I just think the decor would be super cute, especially if you already have some serving pieces.</p> <p>ETA: I would totally just do a strawberry-colored outfit. I am picturing a fun pink tutu and a strawberry hairbow :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753895 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:30:22 +0000 mlm2934 1753895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm partial to the strawberry party!! too cute; my least fave is the luau cause that is such a popular theme for non-birthdays so I'm sure there will be other luaus in her future :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753893 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:29:54 +0000 californiadreams 1753893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted luau based on your pros and cons lists </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753885 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:25:03 +0000 StrawberryBee 1753885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>voted strawberry because that's our theme. We just threw caution to the wind and gave her strawberries at around month 9/10, then followed up with strawberry picking to really verify the 'no allergy yet' verdict ;). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753626 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:49:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1753626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the tickled pink with the flamingos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753571 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:10:54 +0000 Dandelion 1753571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow is my favorite color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753494 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:22:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 1753494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the strawberry idea is adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753466 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:08:30 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1753466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Strawberries are fun!

We decided to nix it for the reason you stated, we thought it would be more fun when she's older.</p> <p>I LOVE the strawberry BBQ idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-1st-birthday-theme#post-1753442 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 15:56:52 +0000 Chillybear 1753442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting to plan Fiona's first birthday party for the end of September and with the size of my family and the friends we want to include its go big or go home. </p> <p>We're having the party at our home and i've come up with 4 options that seem do-able. </p> <p>A berry first birthday - Strawberries<br /> Pros: I already have some strawberry serving pieces and a loose menu of BBQ, Comfort foods,<br /> Cons: She still hasn't even tasted a strawberry, what if she's allergic.
