Planning Baby's First Birthday Bash

For your baby's first birthday, she may not understand what all the fuss is about but she will have a great time at a small gathering of family and friends if you make sure to plan it with her limits in mind.

Careful Planning
One year old's can get overwhelmed pretty easy. To prevent your baby's first birthday bash from turning into a tear fest. Small and simple is the way to go. Invite just a few friends and grandparents if they are near enough. Try not to have more than two to three young friends over as more may be too much input for your little one.

Go With Your Baby's Schedule
Your baby probably already has a fairly predictable schedule. Try to plan your baby's birthday party in the afternoon after her morning nap and plan for the party to only last a couple of hours at the very most. Don't expect your baby to be overwhelmed at her presents. Many one year olds are more interested in the wrapping paper and smearing cake on their faces than many of the presents they receive.

Immortalize the Day
Take lots of pictures of your baby's first birthday. She's crossed a big milestone. Along with the precious photos of your little one with birthday cake in her and smeared across her face; you can also create a lasting memory through a special plate to hold her first birthday cake. It's a great way to remember her very special day.
