1st birthday party theme

Hi moms!
I'm having a hard time picking a theme for dd's first birthday. My little girl was born very premature and I just want a huge bash to celebrate how far she has come. I don't plan on a big party again for quite some time! It will be in October at in my parent's backyard for about 70 people, mostly adults, 5-10 kids max. What do you think?

Vintage/ shabby chic: florals, pastels, light orange pumpkin accents, delicate, with vintage touches

Dd's name in "Onederland": Tea party/ Alice like. The only issue I have here is that I had a tea party bridal shower at at tea shop

Circus or Candy Land: Bright colors, cotton candy etc, simlar with the exception of details- lollypops v. circus animals (now clowns!)

I'm going to work a candy apple, sweet table, and drink station into whatever theme I do.

Re: 1st birthday party theme

i really like the candyland/circus idea. i think its age apporpriate and can look super cool with all the colors and details.

ETA: although the vintage shabby chic can look beautiful, i feel its more adult than 1yr old apporpriate. jmo
