A year has gone by and this is pretty hard to believe. You may feel like it was only yesterday that you were bringing your baby home. But, you are now on a mission to give your little man or your sweet princess a very special first birthday party.
At this age, children love things like color and noise. Remember that this birthday party is not one they will remember but one you will. Keep reading in order to learn the steps that you have to consider.
Picking the date, time, and location is the first thing you should do. Determine about how many people (adults versus kids) will be there and an appropriate location for the party. At home is fine; outside is great. If you have a lot of guests, then you need larger venues. Don't pick nap time or right before as your baby is not going to be the star of the party for the right reasons.
Choose your invitations. Make sure that you select a theme that you would also enjoy. This is about what you like or what you prefer.
You need to send the invitations at least three weeks in advance or four if possible. Make sure to make a checklist so that you can count those that are coming and call on those that haven't let you know.
Decor! Here is where you can do a lot of fun things with color, themes and decorations. Balloons, paper plates, tablecloths and banners work well.
What about games? If there will be other children at the party, then fun games should be included. If not, consider a collage of pictures to entertain your guests with.
Make sure that foods are easy to prepare, handle, and eat. If you are having just a few guests, then a full scale meal would be okay. Don't forget the cake.
What about pictures? During the party, one of the best things to do would be to take lots of pictures. You will have ample opportunity to share and for scrapbooking if you plan to do this.
You can also consider hiring a professional planner to do the work for you in order to make your child's first birthday party memorable.
