First Birthday

Planning a first birthday party for your little one? Below, a few helpful tips.

Theme: Does your baby like Sesame Street or animals? If so, plan your party around that theme so you know your baby will enjoy it and the other kids will, too. Think themed cups,plates,balloons,party favors,cake and more!
Timing: Make sure the party is short enough so that kids can have fun without getting too cranky. Also, if your baby has scheduled nap times, make sure to plan around those.

Guest List: Don’t make the party too big. Having too many little kids around can be chaotic; and having lots of guests to entertain while watching your baby can get to be overwhelming.

Food: Since the party will not be running too long, there may not be a need to serve food; but you might want to have a few baby-friendly snacks for the toddlers and some grown-up appetizers for the adults.

The Party Space: Make sure your party space is kid friendly, and if need be, put up fences that so you know babies will stay in one restricted area.

Pictures: Don’t forget your video camera or digital camera! These are definitely memories you will want to keep on film.
