baby's 1st birthday party - Форум русских женщин за рубежом

Your baby’s 1st birthday party will be a memorable party for mom & dad but your little guy or gal will most likely only remember it through your stories & photos from the big day. Many parents will create a large social event with all their families & friends and some parents will create intimate affairs with only close relatives. What ever you choose make it a special time as this marks the end of the baby years for your little one.

You may want to consider throwing a dinner for your baby’s first birthday party. You can go casual with pizza, subs or an outdoor barbeque or formal with a buffet or sit down type dinner. Your budget, guest list and personal style should dictate your party plans.

If you are going to have children attending your baby’s 1st birthday you will want to plan activities for these little guests. Although your child will most likely not be able to participate in games, older children will be able to play games.

One game you may want to consider is pin the hat on the baby. Blow up a picture of your little one, cut out cone shaped party hats attach tape to the back of each hat and let the kids pin the hat on the baby’s head. Use a bandana or towel as a blindfold.

If you choose our Barnyard Blast Theme or our Down on the Farm Theme, play animal games. Pin the nose on the pig. The pig in this pattern is easy to replicate on poster board. Use pink construction paper to create pig noses. Play a game of duck, duck, goose with the kids. A sing along would be fun for your child and the other children as well. Sing songs like the farmer in the dell or B-I-N-G-O.

Create a game of Hot Potato gear towards your theme. Pass around a farm animal for the farm theme, or a bear for the bear parade and hugs & stitches or a soft baby doll for the cutie pie. Musical chairs is always a hit with the younger kids.

Many people like to give favors out at parties as a reminder of the special day. A great 1st birthday party favor is a picture. Feature a picture in our Cutie Pie boy and girl magnet frames. Use up those extra small wallet prints from their 1st birthday pictures. In our farm and bears collection we feature fridge magnet frames that would be a perfect favor. Give these out at the party or send it with a photo with a thank you note. If you have a small intimate party, use our 1st birthday party photo flip albums and fill them with special birthday party pictures. Use our cupcake with one candle cookie cutter to create yummy cookie favors for your guests to take home.
