First birthday party planning

Follow these 5 simple steps to throw a fabulous 1st birthday party for your child.

Most parents like to schedule their kid’s first birthday party around their child’s nap and mealtime. A two-hour event is usually long enough to do all that’s needed for a first birthday party in this case.

Increasingly though, I have seen more and more families throwing a much larger batch for a first birthday party. These are usually prolonged parties, serving meals, hiring entertainment, and even renting party halls to hold the party. This a great way to share quality happy moments with your friends and family. Do not expect your baby to go through all of the activities. For an enjoyable time, try not to break your child’s routine of food, change, and sleep. You may be extra busy, but your baby should come first. That should cut down on the level of stress to you and to your child. Designate a family member early on to help with this task. If your child is very attached to you, you should delegate some of the party tasks to friends and family. Your baby will look at you for comfort in this changing environment. It’s important that you stay calm, as your baby will sense any signs of stress in you and start to get fussy.

A party theme will help you organize your event more efficiently. A common Theme makes shopping for your event much easier, plus it adds a sense of harmony to your general party atmosphere.
