Celebrating baby's first birthday

Celebrating Baby's First Birthday
2

• Others will make it a quiet celebration share
  with very close relatives. Either way, your baby
  will be completely unaware of his or her
  accomplishment, and will only enjoy it way off in
  the future while reviewing the old photo albums.
  So make it a party the grownups will enjoy, while
  taking into account your baby's comfort and
  schedule.
• Your baby is on the verge of taking those first
  little baby steps, if he or she hasn't already.
  Let those tentative little baby steps provide the
  theme for your party.

General Tips

• Schedule the party time around your baby's nap
  schedule. There's nothing sadder than an unhappy
  guest of honor.
• Take plenty of pictures for your baby's photo
  album or scrapbook.
• If there are older children at the party, get
  them involved by allowing them to help open the
  presents. Your baby won't care about much more
  than the wrapping paper anyway!

• Most babies haven't had much experience with
  table food at this point, especially with
  dessert. So don't forget to photograph your baby
  as he or she dives into that first slice of
  birthday cake. The reaction to this cake will
  probably be one of the funniest you'll ever
  record.
• If you plan to have balloons at the party, Mylar
  balloons are your safest bet. Regular latex
  balloons pose a choking hazard to the children.

5

• If young children will be at the party, it would
  be a nice gesture to distribute goody bags
  because, aside from the cake, that's the one
  thing children become most excited about at
  parties. Appropriate items to include for very
  young children are animal crackers, crayons,
  board books, and balls.

Setting the Stage with Baby Steps

• Hang a clothesline above the party table and
  using clothespins, clip baby socks or booties on
  the line.
• Use a cookie cutter in the shape of a baby's
  foot as a template to help create the theme
• Use it as a template to create invitations that
  have either been cut out in the shape of a baby
  foot or drawn on card stock. or drawn on card
  stock.

7

• Create a sponge in the shape of a baby foot using
  the cookie cutter, and use it to stamp foot
  designs on a plain white table cloth (fabric or
  paper using the appropriate paint.)
• Place the cookie cutter on top of your finished
  and frosted cake and fill it with decorator sugar
  to create a baby foot design on the cake.

8

• Prepare party favors for the adults using baby
  socks filled with candy. Tie them closed with a
  ribbon. Attach a photo of the birthday baby on
  the other end of the ribbon after punching a
  small hole in a corner of the photo.
• Create a small photo gallery of baby's first year
  in the party room so that everyone can admire
  those cute infant moments.
