OK,
it's time to celebrate your little one's birthday... here are some
resources for themed party supplies, party planning ideas and
more!
1. Decide on a Party
Theme. This will help you go forward with all the other bits
and pieces you'll need to assemble. Below are some great
suggestions, all favorites loved by little ones and sure to be a
big hit!
2.
Once you have your theme selected and your matching party products
en route, it's time to work on the guest list. At this age
it will most likely be family and close friends, but don't forget
about kids from Mommy & Me, and play groups. Even very
young kids feel extra special sharing their big day with their
peers.
3.
Your home, or the home of a loved one makes the most sense for
your little one's birthday festivities. You want them to
feel comfortable and able to relax and enjoy the day and they will be
able to do that in a place that's familiar to them.
4.
Send your invitations out 2 weeks in advance and you may even want
to register
the party to help family and friends who aren't familiar with what
your child needs, wants, and already has. Be sure to note on
the invitation any ideas or where you're registered to help with
their gift-buying process.
5.
The day of, try to get your little one down for a nap or at
least some quiet time. A well-rested child is a happy
child, right? *g*
As guests arrive, let your
child set the pace for activities. If you're forcing them
from one thing to the next, it won't be fun for anyone.
For activities,
they will enjoy some
dancing music (Freeze Dance is always fun!), building blocks, finger paints,
stringing round cereal into necklaces, and the like!
A couple other ideas that would work with even the smallest
party-goers is Play-Doh and Stickers:
6.
TAKE TONS OF PICTURES!!!!
Taking those pictures and sharing them on a special web page
will take it a fun step further. We have resources
on how to create your own web page, or we'd be happy to make
one for you, in honor of a special birthday! (Once
your page is up, be sure to enter it in the TopBabyPages
web site competition!)
