Bear in mind that this is your baby’s first birthday and it should have a lasting impact on the minds of the guests.
Arrangements for the birthday party needs to be done weeks in advance. Start by purchasing or creating 1st birthday photo invitations and making the guests list. Creating first birthday photo invitations are preferred by many parents since they get to make use of their favorite photo of the baby for the invites. The photo should be of your baby is their natural environments or recent photos clicked by you over the past year.
Plan of making the 1st birthday photo invitations are little appealing? Then why not go in for background themes. There are a number of online websites that offer different themes such as polka dots, bubbles, circles, stripes, flowers, butterflies and many more that will look attractive with your baby’s first birthday photo invitations. The text for the invitations can be simple or you can even go in for jingles or rhymes depending on your creativity skills.
Thinking of whether to go in for themed parties? Well themed parties prove to make the tasks of the parents much easier and simpler. Since your baby does not have a favorite cartoon character, movie or personality, you can easily go in for Sesame Street, stuffed penguins or teddy bear themes that will nicely coordinate with your baby’s first birthday. You can even take the help of your friends and family to help you organize according to the theme selected by you.
On the decorative front, you might be interested in purchasing colorful balloons in the shades of red, yellow, white, pink etc. Balloons might need to be placed outside the children’s reach since popping balloons can frighten your baby. For added effect, you can have cartoon characters cut out or you can even go in for life size wall decals of Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh etc and have them placed at the entrance so that older kids can have pictures clicked with these famous characters
The birthday cake for your baby can range from cupcakes or can be baked in the form of the number 1. Have the cake decorated with some sparkles and icing and you are ready.
