Baby's First Birthday

I am sure the busiest time for mother is the first year after the baby is born and they count everyday and wait for the baby to be a year old and this is the time that passes really soon since everyday your baby surprises you with something new and you feel your baby growing everyday. One day he or she sits, the other day he or she would crawl and then he or she would try to stand and then walk. One day he or she will call out ma and then he or she would repeat the small words that you say. It must be such a joy to see your baby growing up everyday. Then comes the first birthday which is definitely more important to you than to the baby because he or she would not even know what is happening. Yet you would always cherish those memories and we will discuss how to make those memories colorful and cheerful.

Useful Tips to Plan Baby’s First Birthday Party

If you are planning a party then keep it simple and short. Arrange it for a short duration so that you don’t upset the baby’s schedule and see to it that you don’t end up inviting a large number of people though it is perfectly understandable that you want to share this special moment with everybody and if your cutie pie has already made friends then you might also call them so consider these things when you make your list of invitees that you would have your child to care for and all the guests. So call your near and dear ones who would help themselves when needed and also would not mind helping you.

Inviting People to your baby’s birthday

When you design the invitation card for the birthday card try and use cartoon characters in them; either have the picture in the background on which you mention the date, time and venue of the party or you can cut the card in the shape of Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck and write out or print whatever you want to write on the birthday invitation. You can try to make a small poem out of the invitation, which would be pleasure for the person who reads it. You can also put your kid’s photograph on the invitation cards, which would also be a good idea.

Baby’s Birthday gifts

You can gift your baby a big teddy bear and follow the convention or you can also search for a unique gift like a keyboard designed uniquely for a one year old baby. It would be a delightful gift for your baby. You can also gifts that would teach your baby a way to recognize things and differentiate between them. They can also identify patterns and understand the concepts of length and breadth. These kinds of toys are often referred to as "activity toys" which can be found in any of the shops.

Activities, Games and Themes

Since the baby is only one year old it is better not to have many games and activities because he or she would not be able to participate in it neither would you be able to because you would have the baby to tackle, the best way is to just decorate the party in a creative way by putting up a piñata and keeping many toys for the children to play and keep them entertained.

Birthday Party Favors

You can definitely try toys as favors for your little guests but for adults you would have to think about something else like book on parenting if most of your guests are parents of your kid’s friends or you can try the photographs of your guests with your baby as a return gift. So make your kid’s birthday a fun filled affair!!
