Every mother will tell you how fast that first year will fly by. Babies first birthday is a once in a lifetime event, and everyone wants to make sure it’s unforgettable. Planning the perfect party doesn’t have to be stressful, so we’re sharing some of our favorite tips and creative ideas for throwing a memorable (and stress free) first birthday party!
Ideas For Baby’s First Birthday Party
1. Take photos from throughout the year and create a number one collage for on the wall.
2. Start a tradition on her first birthday to do a yearly Handprint Canvas Print. You can display these adorable keepsakes on the wall to see the changes throughout the years.
3. Fill their crib with a ton of balloons in the morning for some first birthday photos!
4. Start a first birthday time capsule. Allow your guests to write a personal note. It can be about their hopes and dreams, about them, about her, or about the year of her birth. Seal the time capsule tightly to be opened on her 18th birthday.
