Lumberjack 1st Birthday Ideas - Cake Smash in Buffalo Check
Carey Hall
If you are looking for an adorable theme for a little boy's first birthday, consider the little lumberjack party. Inspired by a lumberjack's flannel shirt, with lots of black and red, and black and white buffalo check that sets the atmosphere for this woodsman inspired birthday party complete with a cake smash. See our lumberjack 1st birthday party ideas, with suggestions for foods to serve and ways to decorate your party spread to bring rustic touches to your lumberjack party setup. This is a great theme for fall and winter parties - but definitely works all year long!
We take a new spin on lumberjack by mixing plaids and black and white with black and red checks and prints. Everything is inspired by cozy flannel plaids and rustic touches. This plaid pennant banner makes the perfect backdrop to the cake smash. We have both red and black and black and ivory number 1 cake toppers that coordinate perfectly.
The scene is set with wood disks and plaid confetti, a kraft pennant banner with ‘one’ in a checked paper, and lots of pine tree and outdoorsy inspired decor.
The cake takes center stage for a first birthday as the little one divides into the traditional first birthday cake smash. This adorable red and black check flag cake topper has a cute little one (or any other number you need!) in kraft brown paper.
Cornbread, sausages, and cheese are the perfect party foods for this little boy's birthday theme. You can also serve chili, hot cocoa, and other hearty dishes to warm up the little lumberjack coming in from chopping wood.
This adorable kraft and plaid ONE lumberjack cake smash banner is perfect either on a high chair or in front of either the cake of food tables.
A perfect coordinating party for this little lumberjack birthday party is a Chili Bar. Serve chili with all the toppings, and print our Chili Bar sign to decorate with more touches of plaid. If you're looking for a good chili recipe for a crowd, see our signature recipe for Lumberjack Chili here on the blog.
Find our whole collection of printable buffalo check signs, like this Chili Bar Sign in the EnFete shop, so you can have a coordinated party spread complete with fun signs.
A big lumberjack breakfast is also a fun idea - stacks of pancakes, syrup, berries and even whipped cream make for a unique menu for a first birthday. If you're doing a brunch time party (got to fit it between naps!) then this is a great menu choice.
Don't be afraid to add in black and white plaids too - this gives your party a designer look - layering coordinating but not all matching ideas adds a dimension to your party decor that levels-up your party decor.
We like the mix of rustic charm and a little gold sparkle to level up the party supplies. Our gold trimmed red and black buffalo plaid napkins answer the call.
Black and red buffalo plaid tableware is a must for this little lumberjack party. We have several choices in napkins in the shop, as well as plates and cups. (Chili can be served in cups by the way, and makes it way more portable than bowls!)
Red and black buffalo plaid dessert plates layer well with our gold rimmed white plates.
Adorable packages as party favors make a fun thank you for guests. These buffalo plaid bags and boxes are the perfect idea for wrapping up gifts and favors. They can also be used to wrap prizes if you are playing games. Don't forget the tissue paper, which is also available in the shop.
These tiny boxes that look like a flannel shirt can be filled with gingerbread cookies, or even little bags of popcorn, which are all great ideas for a lumberjack 1st birthday that match this theme perfectly.
S'mores are another great favor option - we have the full packaging kits here in the shop.
Food gifts are even sweeter when you tie a set of our rustic wooden silverware on each bag as a fun lumberjack themed gift tag. Isn't mixing these plaids fun!
Don't forget the SMASH cake! The little springs of rosemary are perfect for a woodsy touch. This naked cake with a chocolate glaze dip fits the theme beautifully.
