Use our pointers to make your child’s first birthday celebration stress-free. This will be a wonderful event with adorable birthday activities and decorations with a little additional preparation before the celebration.
1. Observe the time
Set a timer for an hour to an hour and a half for the party. Infants have limited attention spans and lose interest and energy easily. When the infant is not tired, schedule the party for late morning or late afternoon—pre- or post-nap.
2. VIPs exclusively
Reduce the number of guests on the guest list to save money and not overload your babe.
3. Seek assistance
To combine your hosting responsibilities with enjoying your baby’s special day, think about hiring a babysitter or asking a family member for assistance.
4. Balloons are a baby favourite.
Choose foil or Mylar balloons rather than latex ones to keep young children from choking hazards.
5. Establish a play area.
Baby-proof a play area with age-appropriate toys for your young guests since many babies in this age range are still crawling. Parents can sit in seats around the area and relax as they observe.
6. Inspect your snacks.
Inquire about any potential food sensitivities from your visitors. Keep the snacks basic for the kids, such as graham crackers and sliced fruit, and more sophisticated options for the adults.
7. Calm down.
Before you hire a DJ and provide pony rides, it will still be a while. It won’t matter to the newborn if you host the biggest Christmas party of the year or just have a quiet gathering at home with your close relatives. All that matters is that they are with you and are surrounded by love.
