Press Release Body: First Birthday Party Celebrations for One Year Old Baby

The first birthday party is a milestone for both the mother and the child and is
also an event for the whole family to enjoy. Remember that your baby doesn\'t really
have any expectations whatsoever about his first birthday party. This birthday party
is for you and your family and friends who are coming to \"ooh\" and \"aah\" over your
wonderful one-year-old! A human life is so fragile, and none more fragile than the
life of a new baby.

Your baby's first birthday party will be, without a doubt, more special to you than
to your baby. Except for the cake and extra attention, your one year old baby will
likely view the entire birthday celebration as an unwelcome interruption of his
playtime. So, with this in mind, the key to creating an enjoyable birthday ceremony
is to make it memorable - for you! Remember, your baby doesn\'t really have any
expectations whatsoever.

The first rule of thumb is to keep it SIMPLE, beginning with the food and
decorations. You will want to allow yourself plenty of time to watch your told
enjoying his FIRST Birthday ever, so organize the 1st birthday party so that you are
not running around the kitchen washing dishes or other similar tasks. Whenever
possible, have the birthday party in your home where the baby is most comfortable.

There will probably be a good number of adults and a mix of children of all ages at
your child's 1st birthday party. This is usually an occasion for all the family but
the baby first birthday party celebrations shouldn't be too over the top. A lot of
people and a lot of noise could overwhelm your baby and lead to tears. So when it
comes to the first birthday party celebration it is probably best not to go too
overboard.

The 1st birthday party theme is frequently used to structure the first birthday
party. Although baby birthday themes can help you plan food, decorations and first
birthday invitations, you should be mindful of the activities and games. Most babies
at one year old usually don't have the skills or attention span to participate in
the birthday party fun. Additionally, you will have your hands full entertaining
your one year old's guests while trying to monitor your mischievous birthday baby!

If you have decided to use a character theme for your baby 1st birthday party then
that at least gives you an idea for first birthday party invitation cards. You may
also decide to have a birthday cake in the form of the character instead of one of
the more usual baby first birthday party cakes.

Don't overdo the food at the first birthday party; some sandwiches, crackers and
cheese and hot foods, along with the birthday cake with a big ONE on it should be
quite sufficient. This type of food is easy to prepare and easy for small children
to pick up and eat. You should send out personalized first birthday invitations to
the 1st birthday party about three weeks before the birthday party. Some people send
photo first birthday invitations with a picture of their baby first birthday party
guests seem to like these as a memento of the event.

Use paper plates and serviettes for a first birthday party. If you have chosen to
theme the birthday party around your baby favorite character then follow this
through with the tableware. Disposable ware is much better at a 1st birthday party
as they are safer if there are a lot of small children around. Keep a close eye on
your baby first birthday party celebrations can sometimes get too much for some.
Don't spend a lot of money on first birthday party presents, your child will
probably be more interested in the box the birthday present comes in than the gift
itself.

Don't overtire yourself planning and hosting a first birthday party. The first year
of your baby's life is tiring for you so try to keep things low key. You want
everyone to enjoy your baby 1st birthday party but don't get stressed out. Remember
that people have come to celebrate with you and your baby first birthday party
celebrations are a happy time for all.

A first birthday party is an important event for you, your baby, and the rest of the
family but don't feel that you have to give the best 1st birthday party ever - it
just has to be the best for you and your baby. Do your best to enjoy the day with
your baby first birthday party memories should be fun.
