Default Ideas, thoughts on "B" first birthday theme....

Okay...be honest, would it be weird to have the Letter B as a theme for my DD first birthday?
My DH and I were remarking that there sure are a lot of "b" things that are important to little one their first year, so I wrote this little invite (below), but then I was kind of wondering where to go from there -- how else could I incorporate it into the party/theme? My DD name does not start with a B, so I don't think I would want to have a bunch of "b"s everywhere -- plus, I think that might look weird!
Ideas? Thoughts?

A Baby’s Best Letter is B…
B is for bouncing balls, bottles of milk and butterflies,
B is for blowing bubbles, bunnies and buzzing bumble bees …
B is for blankets, balloons and teeny, tiny bellybuttons….
Best of all,
B is for BIRTHDAY!
Please join us as we celebrate all that’s wonderful about a baby’s Bs – especially Baby (name) very FIRST Birthday!

I love it! You could use bumblebees as the rest of your theme. I have friends who all had July babies - and their initials ended up being B, E, and E. It was really cute!

Adorable! Totally unexpected but appropriate and sweet. Have fun! I'm sure it will B great!

I think it's darling, too! There's so much you can do with the letter B, and you've already covered a lot of it! I would just tailor the B theme with decorations to your child's sex (M/ F) and pick a color and stuff from there (blue or maybe bright ____ -pink/ whatever). It would be cute to do foods that start with B, too- bananas/ banana cake, etc.

I love it!
You could do favors like bubbles, buckets (as in sand..), beachballs.
You could do "b" food even for the adults like BBQ!

B is for Being Busy, too.

Oh! Thanks for all the good favor and decoration ideas, as well as other things that start with B!
DD does love bananas -- what other foods start with B?

I am getting excited!

I might have to use "Being Busy" and your little saying too, Mama Molly....
