Letter "A" Birthday Party for my 1 year old

Ive started thinking of my son's upcoming first birthday and what theme to use. I think Ive decided on a LETTER "A" theme as my sons name is Alex.

**this is what Ive come up with so far but will add to it as I find more ideas (& pictures!)**

I will iron a "A" on his shirt to wear for his party.

Cake: Alligator or Airplane or Anaconda (havent decided yet) - ANGEL FOOD CAKE?
or a Wooden Block Cake with two of the sides having an A and 1.

Loot Bag: Animal Crackers, "A" shaped soaps or crayons, plastic snake (anaconda), Alien toy, Animal or Alien or Astronaut or Airplane or Alphabet Stickers, ...

Snacks:
Arrowroot Cookies,
Apple Slices (With Peanut Butter dip),
Appetizers,
Jello Jigglers in 'A' or something that starts with A,
...

Invitation:
Come to A lex's A wesome Birthday A ctivities on A pril 28!
(need to get out my thesaurus and see what kind of alliteration I can come up with)

Activities:
Colouring pages of "A" or "A" pictures (see ideas below)
(probably no planned activities since the age group is quite young)


Maybe some of these A words will give you some ideas for cake, snacks, decorations, loot bag favors, etc.
