First Birthday Party & Cake Smash
First Birthday Party & Cake Smash Outfit Ideas
A baby’s first birthday party is a milestone filled with joy, love, and frosting-covered smiles. Whether you’re planning a cake smash, family portraits, or a sweet gathering, the right outfit makes every photo extra special. Here we share kids birthday outfit ideas — from twirl-worthy princess dress for girls styles to elegant looks that can double as a flower girl dress for future celebrations.
Cake Smash & Party Styling Tips
Choose soft fabrics that are comfortable for crawling and playing — satin bows, delicate lace, or layered tulle. Lighter shades like blush, ivory, or pastel blue photograph beautifully with balloons and cake décor. Keep a second outfit handy: one for the messy smash, another for post-party photos and cuddles.
