1st Birthday Party Ideas

Baby’s 1st Birthday Party Ideas – Once In a Lifetime!

Baby’s first birthday marks the beginning of a long and joyful life, so why no make it memorable? Pictures and guestbook record this moment for life, because it is a moment that happens only once. There are many ways a one-year-old and parents can celebrate baby’s first birthday together!

A great idea for first birthday personalized invitations" is a “1”-shaped handmade card with a colored Xeroxed picture of your baby’s special moment intricately shaped and glued to the front. This acknowledges the importance of the “first” in your baby’s life and the baby’s first birthday.

A simple, emphatic decorative scheme is to have the number “1”--in different styles, colors, and materials--spread around home. Candles, cardboard hangers, handmade paraphernalia shaped in the number “1,” perhaps wrapped in tinfoil, serve to create a bright and cheerful décor for your baby’s first birthday party. In addition, a Sesame Street sing-a-long-with-the-numbers CD will make the party even more upbeat and lively. Also, how about T-shirts with a big “1” printed on the front and back? You can hand them out to parents and children as they arrive.

See the baby birthday party supplies kit for all the needed supplies.

The theme of “firsts” can keep going with the food as well. Considering that a baby’s first birthday party is more for adults than the children, light snacks, such as finger food like beef jerky or “1”-shaped finger sandwiches sound like a great treat for everyone. Even more, you can bake a “1”-shaped cake or “1”-shaped cupcakes to emphasize the importance of your baby’s first birthday.

Words to Remember!--You can arrange to have your “Baby’s First Birthday” guestbook for everyone to sign during the party. Each guest writes a “you are special because…” comment, along with a “first” comment acknowledging a special first in the baby’s life. Your baby reads this book later in life. It is such a sentimental touch to an already touching event. This book is truly a testament to how important “firsts” are in a person’s life.

Guessing Game—You can post pictures of your baby’s “firsts” throughout the first year, then hand out stickies and have your guests guess at what “first” each picture represents. The closest gets a prize. This is fun for all adults who appreciate the importance of “firsts” in life and the baby’s first birthday.

Baby’s first birthday can be loads of fun for adults as well as infants, as it should be simple and flexible. Simple is always the best!
