The boho camper design
The star of the art is a rounded vintage camper trailer, the kind you might find restored at a summer campground. Its lower half is deep navy, the top is white, and it has two little windows, a gray door with a tiny window of its own, a hitch at the front and a welcome mat on the ground. On the roof sits a balloon garland in navy, slate blue, sage and blush with pampas grass and palm leaves, and sage letter balloons spell ONE right in the middle.
Two bare gray trees stand on either side holding a strand of pennant flags in mustard, sage, navy and gray, and a little macrame plant hanger dangles from one branch. Terracotta pots with a cactus, a fan palm, a snake plant and a monstera line the ground. Behind it all is a dome of pale blue sky with puffy white clouds and a peach sun.
The words are written in a tall, skinny hand-drawn font in charcoal. On the birthday baby's shirt it reads ONE HAPPY CAMPER! below the camper. On family shirts, the title, like MAMA or PAPA, sits above the art in big narrow capitals, and OF ONE HAPPY CAMPER! runs underneath, so the shirt reads like a little sentence.
With navy, sage and terracotta, the look is boho and gender neutral, a nice fit for boys, girls or twins.

Planning a boho camper party
A glamping party is easy to set up in a backyard or a park. Pull the colors from the shirt: navy, sage, terracotta, cream and soft blue. A balloon garland in navy, sage and blush with a big ONE balloon looks just like the camper's roof, and a strand of pennant flags or bistro lights strung between two trees makes the scene. Add a canvas bell tent or a play teepee, woven rugs, floor cushions, pampas grass in tall vases and a few potted plants.
For food, a naked cake with sage frosting and a tiny camper topper is a sweet centerpiece, and a small sage smash cake is just right for the baby. A s'mores station, campfire popcorn, trail mix in paper cones, hot dogs and lemonade in mason jars fit the camping mood.
For activities, try a scavenger hunt for pine cones and leaves, a craft table to decorate paper lanterns, bubbles on the lawn and a story time in the tent. Little guests can also paint small wooden campers or roll toy cars along a chalk road.
Favors can be little s'mores kits, mini flashlights or tiny potted succulents like the plants on the shirt.
Photos and keepsakes
The tent or the balloon garland make the best backdrop for family photos. Sit the birthday baby on a woven blanket in front of the tent with everyone around in their camper shirts, and the scene looks just like the art. A second shot of the baby peeking out of the tent door is a sweet one for the baby book. Many families also keep the bodysuit afterward with a party photo and a balloon from the garland.
If you know a campground that rents vintage trailers, a short visit the weekend of the party can make for a magical mini photo session, with the family in their shirts posing in front of a real camper.
Styling the camper outfits
Grown-ups can wear their camper tees with jeans or shorts, a denim jacket or a chunky cardigan, and sneakers or boots. Toddlers look cute in joggers and little hiking boots. Dress the birthday baby in the bodysuit with sage joggers, little sneakers and a striped beanie.
Boho camper sizing
Every camper listing ends with an inch size chart. Grown-up camper tees are a relaxed, unisex shape, so your usual size should be fine. At one year, a baby usually wears 12 or 18 months, and the camper bodysuits run a little roomy, so it helps to measure a current favorite.
