How to decide on your cake smash theme

It is very common for me to get inquiries about the cake smash session. Some clients come in knowing EXACTLY what they want for the theme, but more often than not they have no idea. Or many times a prent will say something like, "floral, pinks and garden. or pastel, rainbow and balloon" and I just get to run with the ideas. I try to encourage parents to start the process of cake smash planning between 6 and 8 months. This allows us time to buy items and create the set.

Can you image thinking of the theme 6 months out? When guiding my clients I ask a few key questions.

1. Is there an idea you have for the first birthday? If the parent does not have a direction we narrow down some ideas.

2. Are you interested in cake or maybe another option? I have done, spaghetti smash, ravioli, pancakes, pie, fruit, yogurt, donuts, steak and tacos. The options are limitless even if cake is of no interest.

3. Does their name make you think of a theme? This little guy was Reese so we did Reeses Pieces theme

4. Is there a style you like? Rustic, boho, simple?

5. Do you have a a favorite children's book, song, movie?

6. Was baby born during a season or holiday you want to incorporate?

7.Want to incorporate parent's jobs, hobbies, or sport they love?

7.
