1st Birthday Party Basics

1st Birthday Party Ideas

They make so many cute themed plates, invitations, etc. for 1st birthday parties now, but all that is necessary is your child, a camera, and a party planned at the best time of day when your child is at their best!

Some people like to just have family (that is what we did - family, cake and presents).

Others like to have a big affair with family and friends.

Whatever type of party you choose, keep these party planning tips in mind for your baby birthday party:

  • Plan it for a time of day when baby will be at their best (and you too).
  • The party doesn't need to be long...too long can be too much for baby.
  • Have a camera ready, along with backup batteries. Make sure someone is in charge of taking the photos so you can concentrate on the baby.
  • Decide whether or not you want presents...a large party will bring a lot of presents for baby...
  • Maybe more than you need! If so, consider just letting everyone come and have a piece of cake, with no gifts necessary.
  • Whatever you choose, enjoy it, and take lots of photos!
