Host A Party For Your Baby's First Birthday

It probably seems like just yesterday that you were awaiting the birth of your first baby, right? And now that little son or daughter will soon be a year old and you are wondering how the months slipped by so rapidly. If you are wanting to celebrate your baby's first year of life in a spectacular way, you might be thinking of ways you can make the event a very memorable one. From having a catered event to planning fun activities for your guests, here are some ideas that might help.

Arrange For Party Catering - Of course, you could more than likely prepare a wonderful meal yourself, especially if you love to cook. However, to really enjoy the party along with your guests, consider having professionals do the cooking, serving, and cleaning up after the birthday meal. That would free up your time to plan activities and to spend time with your guests. If you have a menu in mind, the caterers will more than likely be able to provide exactly the foods you want.

If you don't really know which foods you want at your baby's birthday dinner, consider getting ideas from the caterers. They will have the experience to know which foods are the most popular. Be sure to tell them how many guests they'll be serving. Also, be very clear about the time and date you want dinner served. It's helpful to have everything in writing so there won't be any disappointments later.

Arrange For Party Activities - When you send out invitations to your baby's first birthday event, think of asking every person to bring a baby picture of themselves. They might need a quick text or email as a reminder. As your guests arrive, collect the pictures and place them gently on large poster boards. Later play a game where your guests guess which picture belongs to each individual.

Another idea is to ask your guests to write down one or two thoughts of what their parents did that was significantly wonderful in raising them. For example, one person might tell that a night didn't go by without a parent singing a bedtime song. Another person might talk about the fact that his or her parents took turns reading bedtime stories up until a certain age. You might get some pretty good ideas on things you can do to make your baby's next years the best ones ever.
