First, young parents need to decide with whom you want to celebrate this significant date. Perhaps it will be your family and friends, but you can also make an exclusively children’s celebration.
If you have settled on the option of celebrating with your family, then you do not want unnecessary fuss and hassle. This option is not bad, with loved ones you can also arrange a bright, full of impressions, holiday. First of all, you need to decorate the place where the celebration will take place. You can use balloons, posters as decorations. An obligatory attribute is a festive children’s cake with a symbolic “one”. It will be nice if the child spends his entire birthday with mom and dad.
Inviting guests on their first birthday is also great. But remember, so that the child does not get nervous, does not worry, there should be people familiar to him as guests. Only he will be infinitely happy with them. If you have taken care of the first condition, then move on to the second. This is compiling a list of invited guests and sending invitation cards. It would be best to arrange them on behalf of the hero of the occasion. On thin colored or cardboard paper, you can leave a baby print or insert a photo of your baby. If parents come to the holiday with their children, organize two tables: for children and adults. So that the holiday does not turn into a simple food intake, come up with fun contests and include joyful children’s songs.
If you decide to arrange a purely children’s party, then you are very brave and responsible parents. That’s right, because the child has a birthday. To do this, you need to try hard so that the holiday is only for him. As guests, there should be parents with kids, the same age as the birthday person, or a little older children. Don’t forget to organize two tables. It is best to make it Swedish, because it will be almost impossible to get everyone together. In order for children to move freely, they need to provide them with space to play and dance. Also, do not exclude the holding of joint games for children and adults.
Another of the most important attributes of a baby’s first birthday is gifts for guests. These can be either prizes for the winners in competitions or just souvenirs. As gifts, you can use balloons, small toys and other equally useful things. For the nearest and dearest – prints of the hand or foot of the birthday man.
As many will tell you, what a holiday without decorating an apartment and a children’s room? We assure you that the brighter the decoration, the more joy in the eyes of the child. Balloons are considered one of the simplest decoration options. Some can be hung up, and the rest can be scattered around the apartment so that the kids can play with them. A more complex decor can be a poster made by the birthday boy’s mom and dad. You can find the necessary ideas on the Internet or show your own imagination. I’d like to present to your attention some interesting ideas for decorating greeting posters:
- “My achievements”. For this poster, divide whatman paper into 12 parts (12 months of baby’s life). In each cell, write what happened at this time, what the child learned, paste interesting photos.
- A poster with congratulations to family and friends.
- You can glue photos of the child on the poster, and place funny inscriptions below.
- Very interesting is the idea of a poster with the title “Look and tell me who I look like”. On this poster, you need to glue a photo of mom and dad, as well as a pen, so that guests can share their observations under a more suitable photo.
To make the first holiday of your child’s life unforgettable, you don’t have to buy a lot of toys and have a lot of finance. In this case, the main thing is to show your care, love, warmth and a little imagination as much as possible. And then you will definitely succeed!
