ADN Designs [1] photographer and party planner Anna had always talked with her husband about wanting to have their little girl not be afraid of monsters. So, she says, "We decided to try make monsters fun and cute to help her not be afraid, this resulted in a first birthday monster theme!" There is absolutely nothing scary about this sweet first-birthday celebration (unless, of course, you count how talented Anna is). So check out the cutest, completely unscary monster bash we've ever seen.

Love Notes
Have guests jot down a few love notes for the guest of honor so she can read them when she is older. What a great idea!

Photo booths are a great idea for first birthday parties because it's a good way to get parents in on the fun with their babes.

Anna's mother-in-law made the cake, and it was the birthday girl's favorite part of the day. Anna said, "Without a doubt her favorite was the cake smash. She ate like four of those monster eyeballs on the cake!"
