First Birthday Party

First birthday party

A child's first birthday party is a very special occasion for the parents (seeing that the child is too young to appreciate it). In order to ensure that everyone attending the birthday party is having a good time, the best thing to do is to have a theme.

Having a theme will help to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere at your party. The most popular first birthday parties are:

Luau - western - black light - Hawaiian - Mardi Gras - Cartoon or movie characters -  Mexican fiesta - sports - 50's -  roaring 20's - disco 80's -  hippie 60's -  crazy hats -patriotic.

It is very important to follow the part theme throughout each aspect of the event including the invitations, refreshments, decorations and music. The invitations should not only show the theme but they also set the tone of the party as to whether it will be casual or formal.

Always have a couple of games planned even if you are not really going to use them. They always provide for great entertainment when the planned events might get boring.  Some first birthday party games and activities include:  Physical games, craft and brain games.

Party music is an absolute must, while prizes and party favors are great party ideas to make a finishing touch to ensure an awesome time for all. Set up the party music to your party theme a few days before the event. Be sure to test the music player, don't wait until the day before! Party centerpieces can be doubled as party prizes, because everyone loves to win prizes.

For events that have assigned seating, a picture frame can be used as place-card holders which can be also used as party favors. Gift baskets or flowers make lovely centerpieces and can also be used for party prizes.

Follow these tips and ideas and we guarantee that you will have a blast at the party!
