Making Sure Your Baby's First Birthday Party Creates Memories

Your child’s first birthday is a once in a lifetime event!  When deciding what type of party you would like to throw for your baby, one thing is for certain; make your baby’s first birthday party memorable.  It certainly will not remain in your baby’s mind, but it will always hold a special spot in Mommy and Daddy’s.  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 way to personalize your baby’s first birthday party 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 sweet idea to commemorate this special day for baby’s first birthday party is to have a recent photo taken of your baby enlarged and placed in a matted frame.  Make sure that the matte is extra large.  Give your party guests a permanent pen and have them write special messages on the matte to your baby on their birthday.  It can be a simple birthday wish, or a special poem.  You can later place the picture up in the nursery to remind you of this day.  You can also have a journal on hand for any guest who would like to write any special or meaningful words of wisdom to your baby, perhaps their feelings the day you were born or where they were when they heard that you were being expected.  You will be able to one day look back with your child years from now and talk about this special day with them.

One of the best parts of any baby’s first birthday party is when it is cake time!  You can always count on a big photo opportunity during this event!  Everyone gathers around the highchair, cameras locked and ready to capture the prize shot, when your one year old dives into that cake with eager enthusiasm, wearing the frosting more than he or she is eating it!  Cake tip is definitely a highlight to any first birthday party.
