As you transition between experiencing the joy of having your baby and settling into a life’s familiar patterns it’s time to start planning their 1st birthday party. Ideas to celebrate your love and affection for your baby are everywhere but you may be struggling to come up with the perfect birthday party theme.
At 1 years old your baby is not going remember their birthday experience but you can show them pictures for years to come. Usually a 1st birthday party is most enjoyed by the parents, family and friends.
Even though your baby wont remember, it is important to carefully think about the location of the party. It maybe tempting to choose one of those new birthday party places you see around town to keep the guest entertained but for the parents its may be more practical to have the party at home where it is familiar to the baby.
Should the baby become fussy and need a nap, sleeping in their own bed might just do the trick. Those party rooms are usually pretty loud and full of activity. It’s also comforting for the parents if they need a break too!
To come up with party theme ideas you can start by thinking about what toys your baby likes to play with. This is a great place to start. It could be Disney 1st birthday party theme or perhaps a princess themed party. It won’t be hard to find themed party supplies online because of all the tie-ins and marketing between kids toys and TV shows etc.
Planning your baby’s 1st birthday party is made much easier as all of the invitations, plates, cups and decorations are printed with your child’s favorite character. You baby will love all of the different colors and shapes of the balloons and perhaps stuffed animals .
If your guest list includes smaller children you could include treats like ice cream cupcakes, peanut butter sandwiches as these are easy to make or buy. If you are hard pressed as what to serve for the adults you could let them munch on cheese and crackers, pretzels or a raw vegetable platter. Pizza is another good type of food to serve.
