First Birthday Party Idea

Here's a great first birthday party idea that will preserve your child's party for generations to come.

Treasured Keepsakes

Here's a fun project that's sure to become a treasured keepsake. Put together a special scrapbook about your child's first birthday.

Include your pictures in chronological order, save a party napkin (especially if it's a theme napkin), save an invitation and anything else that will help make your scrapbook special.

And if you shoot video or take digital pictures, either you or someone else can put together a precious DVD so that future generations to come will be able to see what everyone looked like "way back when."

Your DVD can include shots of your baby's room, special toys, stuffed animals and crib. And you can use a special song in your video.

Schedule your party at a time that works best with your baby's schedule. You don't want them to be fussy or cranky because they didn't have their nap.

The party should only last a couple of hours because all the excitement will begin making your child tired and that can lead to being cranky and spoiling the party.

And remember that your young guests have a very short attention span too. So keep your games and activities short and simple.

Your 1st birthday invitation should be fun, interesting and precious. Remember, you want everyone to know you're going to be celebrating a very special event in your family's life.

Use a phrase like "look who's turning one year old" and include their newborn picture.

Make the newborn picture into a 3 or 4 piece puzzle. Or give then only one small piece of the puzzle and ask everyone to being their puzzle piece so the puzzle can be put together as a party activity.

Make sure to copy all the pieces in case someone doesn't show up.

Do you have a theme for your baby's room? That can be your party theme. Or you can use fun themes like Noah's Ark, Sesame Street, Pooh or Over the Rainbow just to name a few.

Online party stores carry lots of wonderful first birthday party supplies for just about any theme you can imagine.

Play games so the adults can assist the little ones.

Stack soft blocks, roll a ball, read a very short story, sing songs, do "baby art work" using crayons an paper.

Put together a scrapbook of pictures and memories from the birth of your child, bringing baby home for the first time, baby's first bath and all the special times through out their first year.

This gives everyone an opportunity to see the wonderful progress your child has made during their very first year.

You may want to have snacks available for the grown-ups and of course you'll want to have a special cake.

You'll have lots of fun putting together your little one's birthday cake, yummy. You can put together a special cake that fits perfectly with your party theme.

You'll find theme candles and oh-so-cute cake decorations that will turn your cake into a masterpiece.
