If you’re planning a milestone First Birthday Party this spring and need a fresh idea for your little girl or boy, consider going with a farm animal theme! This Adorable Barnyard 1st Birthday Celebration is full of decor details, desserts and activities featuring all of our favorite animals! Keep scrolling to find inspiration for your next celebration!
When Morgan turned one, her Grandma and Grandpa went all out and threw her the most amazing Barnyard Themed Birthday Party! The details for her party were decidedly girly and pink, building on this lovely soft Buffalo plaid and watercolor inspired barn and farm animals depicted in these custom napkins, but this theme would be easy to style for a little boy too, bringing in reds, blues or greens!

Barnyard Party Decor Ideas
When you have a great theme, decorating, creating signs and deciding on food and dessert is just plain fun! You can tell that Grandma and Grandpa had a blast planning this party for their granddaughter! Let’s start with the amazing photo booth at the party, because that really sets the stage for what’s to come! Set up in the yard, a giant red barn, decorated with a cow print “M” for Morgan, was the perfect place for the family to capture memories! With corn stalks on either side, bandana covered hay bales in the front and a larger than life cow cutout off to the side, I’m sure Morgan and her guests loved this fun spot!
Additional decor elements that added to the fun were cow balloons (grab this great set of farm animal balloons) and these super cute floral centerpieces! This is an easy DIY project with a big impact… mason jars, cow print ribbon tied in a bow, a mix of flowers and a farm animal cutout!
Barnyard Dessert Table
The perfectly themed dessert table at this First Birthday Party was full of delicious sweet treats for the guests to enjoy! The first thing that catches your eye are the barnyard animal cake pops from Sweetly Dipped Confections displayed in small bales of hay! I just love that creative touch, don’t you?!
A variety of flavored cupcakes from Mmmmm Delicious Cupcakes were topped with adorable farm animal cupcake toppers from Sweet Sugar Tops too. It’s hard to pick a favorite!
Finally, Morgan got to smash a gorgeous Barnyard themed First birthday cake from Trinity Bakes! The cow print cake banner from BellsNBerries was the perfect addition too!
Barnyard Themed Activities & Favors
During the celebration guests participated in a variety of traditional birthday games like a barn bean bag toss, pin the tail on the pig and of course, the classic piñata ( in the shape of a barn)!
And you know I love party favors, right?! I mean, come on… who doesn’t? Little guests at Morgan’s party received these adorable farm animal glasses in cute barnyard favor bags as a thank you for attending. You could provide something similar with these customizable farm animal favor bags from K Port Gift Company.
I hope you found inspiration from this girly Barnyard Themed First Birthday Party! Be sure to save this post to your Party Planning board as you brainstorm and plan your next celebration!
