Fun 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.

First Birthday Party Idea - Put your party together

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.

Make your invitations interesting an fun

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.
