subject: Make A 1st Birthday Party Even More Wonderful With The Best Supplies And Invitations [print this page] Of all birthday parties celebrated the 1st birthday party is the sweetest of them all. This is because the baby seemingly grows so fast that the next time you're celebrating he or she will be five, then fifteen, then thirty. Starting with the 1st birthday party of the honored little one, take lots of pictures to capture every moment of the child's growing years.
The 1st birthday party invitations should be adorable. You can create these yourself using specialty papers from a craft store, or you can purchase stock invitations from any card store or stationery department. A handmade 1st birthday invitation quickly morphs into a keepsake. Further, you can mention the child's name on it, and even include a picture. Also personalize the invite for those who come to the party.
When choosing the 1st birthday party supplies, the more unique the supplies, the better. You might also want to add a theme, like angels, or fairies, to make it more unique and fun. Lots of fairy wings and delicate party favors can also be included on your list of supplies, along with various fairies or angels hanging from the ceiling, and so on. Of course, the theme could also just be the number one. Firsts are always fun, so you can begin a scrapbook of "firsts" for the baby, beginning with this birthday.
Pastel colors are more subdued and calming, so these would probably be a good choice for the baby's party and decorations. As the busy mother of the one year old, you will probably want to make the clean up as easy as possible. So go for the plastic forks and spoons and the paper plates and cups. This will make things much simpler and more convenient.
There will likely be more adults and older children at this 1st birthday party than one year olds, so the food choices will be for the other party guests, rather than the guest of honor. Offer a varied menu for children and adults. This way you can please everyone. For a daytime party, tea, soda and finger sandwiches are the best selections. These little sandwiches are easy to prepare and there can be a variety of different kinds. In fact, if it is set up like a buffet, the party guests can make their own sandwiches. Arrange the deli meats, tuna fish, tomatoes, etc., in a way that catches the eye.
