Dog Themed First Birthday

DS's birthday party is in two weeks and we just decided that we were going with a dog theme, since he is OBSESSED with dogs (He says "Dog, Dada, Dozer (the dog's name), Moo (IL's dog's name) and Mama" -- in that order).

The invites had his picture with a dog and is "hosted" by the dog.

 I'm trying to think of cute ways to do food (we're thinking a cook-out on the grill) and cute decorations.

Re: Dog Themed First Birthday

  • Hot dog bar with lots of different toppings, dog bone or fire hydrant cake, cookies decorated to look like dog treats...

    That's all I've got.

  • Ditto the hot dogs, totally.  You could make that "puppy chow" Chex snack mix and serve it in dollar store dog bowls on each table. lol.  I don't know if that's taking it too far but it would be funny.  That's all I would do with the theme, food-wise. The rest you can do with decorations, and games if there are going to be a lot of kids there (pin the collar on the dog or something).

  • Definitely hot dogs and a crazy dog cake. Love the dog bowl idea.

    Any ideas for decorations?

     

    And, for food, I was thinking hot dogs and brats and a baked potato bar, then some fresh veggies and things like that for sides. Does that go together?

    Fresh veggies of course, but baked potatoes with hot dogs, not so much.  Potato salad would be better with hot dogs.

    Decorations-wise, you could probably get a lot of mileage out of a dog-paw rubber stamp - on the paper tablecloth, napkins, balloons, streamers, etc.  But there are also usually dog-themed decorations at any party store.

  • while I don't think hotdogs and baked potatoes go together...I think some of the topping can be the same like cheese, chili, onions.

    Puppy chow is an awesome idea...

    I know they sell these crackers called scooby snacks that are like graham crackers shaped like dog bones...

    there's clifford the big red dog you can probably find decorations for....

     

  • This puppy party is super cute:
