It’s a beary first birthday! A classic red and green tartan plaid backdrop, cheerful bows, and an adorable teddy bear in holiday attire makes this the perfect theme for a December first birthday celebration filled with warmth, joy, and Christmas cheer.
A Warm Holiday Welcome
A beautiful welcome sign does exactly what its name promises: it makes guests feel instantly welcomed and excited for what is inside. Display this printable sign on an easel near your entryway, surrounded by evergreens, pinecones, and plaid ribbons for a stunning first impression that sets the festive tone perfectly.
Welcome Sign Presentation Tips:
1. On an Easel for a Classic Look
Place your welcome sign on a small or full-size easel near the entrance.
2. In a Frame on a Table
Set your sign in a decorative frame and display it on a welcome or gift table.
3. Hanging Display
Hang your sign using ribbon, twine, or command hooks on a wall, fence, or backdrop.
4. Integrated into a Backdrop or Welcome Setup
Incorporate your sign into your main party backdrop or photo area.
Tartan Banners & Bows Everywhere
"I've always been inspired by the timeless spirit of the holidays. No matter the season, we celebrate the comfort and warmth of family, the joy of togetherness, and an enduring sense of tradition."
The secret to that lush, layered Ralph Lauren aesthetic is exactly what it sounds like: more layers. Hang a plaid garland behind your dessert table and add the Christmas Bear banner for a playful, on-theme pop. Tip: weave in velvet or satin ribbon strands between banners for a high-end, textured finish.

Ralph Lauren Christmas Checklist:
Tartan Plaid: Incorporate classic red, green, or navy tartan through table linens, ribbons, gift wrap, and throw pillows. Nothing says Ralph Lauren Christmas like layers of plaid and pattern.
Timeless Touches: Add details inspired by the brand’s timeless aesthetic — leather accents, horse motifs, brass candlesticks, and vintage-style trophies or frames.
Cozy Layers & Textures: Mix cable-knit throws, velvet ribbons, wool blankets, and embroidered napkins to create a warm, layered look that feels both luxurious and lived-in.
Elegant Holiday Bar: Include crystal glassware, silver trays, and tartan cocktail napkins. A small floral arrangement or evergreen sprig adds polish and charm.
Iconic Preppy Bear; The iconic bear or a family monogram embroidered on napkins, tags, or signage gives the space that personalized Ralph Lauren finish.
Cozy “Adopt-a-Bear” Favors
This is the moment every guest — young and not so young — will be talking about after the party ends. The “Adopt-a-Bear” station is always a hit — display little plush bears in a basket and let guests choose one to take home. For adults, tartan bear candles make charming favors. Pack everything neatly into matching plaid favor boxes for a polished presentation.
