First Birthday Party Plans
* Content:
First birthday party plans are essential to planning the perfect first birthday bash for your baby. With a well thought out plan, nothing will be overlooked and the party you envisioned for your little sweetheart will go off without a hitch!
So what should be on a first birthday party plan? Here's a breakdown:
# Guest List - Certainly the first place to start. Make sure no one is overlooked. If you are hoping for a small party, keep the guest list to immediate family and close friends.

# Theme - Decide if you want a theme for the party. This may influence your decisions when it comes time to choose invitations, supplies, decorations, and the cake.
# Invitations - Once you have the guest list done, you will know how many invitations you need. Try to mail them out 4-6 weeks in advance to give guests ample warning. You may want to ask for an RSVP by a week before the party date so that you can plan for food, supplies, etc.
# Food - Write out your menu. You may want to keep your baby in mind and throw one or two of their favorites into your menu plan. After all, it is their big day!
# Supplies - Once you know how many guests are coming, go buy your party supplies. Remember plates, cake plates, beverage cups, plastic silverware, napkins, etc.
# Decorations - Choose decorations. Banners, balloons, streamers, and a high chair decorating kit are some ideas.
# Cake - Probably the most important and memorable part of the party. Decide on cake and icing flavors, whether you want a round or sheet cake, what you want on the cake etc. Don't forget to purchase a birthday candle! If you aren't sure how much cake you will need to accommodate all your guests, ask the bakery for recommendations.
# Games and Entertainment - If you are inviting a lot of children to your party, you may want to organize some games and entertainment for them. Pin the tail on the donkey, a pinata, etc. will provide fun and if you want to go all out, you can hire an entertainer such as a clown or a magician.
# Party Favors - You may want to get some party favors to hand out to guests. Chocolate bars with custom wrappers would work well for everyone. You can order wrappers on eBay and then go to the store and buy the candy bars to slide in them. Another idea is to create favor bags for the children with candy, small toys, and other trinkets in them.
By creating First Birthday Party Plans ahead of time, parents can stay organized and will be able to plan the perfect First Birthday Party for their baby.
