No one throws a party like the Kardashian/Jenner family—especially when it comes to their kids’ birthdays. The daughter of Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson just turned one, but her party was fancier than anything I’ve ever seen. True Thompson’s first birthday party was seriously so epic, I don’t know how they’ll ever top it. (Although I’m sure they’ll find a way.) The rainbow-filled, magical and over-the-top event was filled with things I probably could never afford—but it doesn’t keep me from dreaming.
From butterflies on everything and detailed baked goods to a custom neon sign and topiary (!!), there’s no denying this party was the place to be on Sunday. I know True was turning one year old, but this is the kind of party I, as a 25-year-old, only wish I could have. I’m not saying True didn’t have an amazing time at her birthday party, but I definitely would have appreciated it more (since, you know, my brain is fully developed). Regardless of a baby’s cognizance, this party was one at which to marvel.
If you’re like me and desperately want to throw a party half as incredible as this baby’s first birthday, you’re in luck. I rounded up 11 party decoration ideas so you can mimic (OK, basically copy) True Thompson’s first birthday bash. Although, truly, the key to throwing an event the way the Kardashians do is to just go overboard on everything. Think you have enough balloons? You can always have more. Think the only treat your party needs is the cake? Wrong. Think you don’t need custom everything? You’re not thinking like a Kardashian. Go big or go home, y’all.
