It is necessary
Cardboard, glue, paints, water, brush, glitter, food, balloons, photographs, Whatman paper, souvenirs
Instructions
Step 1
Start by inviting guests to the party. You can make them yourself from improvised means or use the services of companies specializing in holding children's parties. On the invitation you need to indicate the time, place of the name day, and also place photos of the baby. You can involve a child in the production of invitations, who on the back, using finger paints, can leave prints of their pens.
On invitation cards, you can express the text in poetic form. They are decorated with glitter and glue, ribbons, patterns.
Step 2
Think about how you will decorate the premises where the event is planned to be held. Use balloons with different patterns, you can choose a theme from a cartoon, or just choose products of different colors.
Step 3
Posters are often used in the design, which can also be made using improvised tools and photographs of the baby, in addition, such posters can be ordered from a printing house. On a large sheet of Whatman paper, place a few photos with a picture of the baby, write down his achievements over the past year, a graph of the baby's growth and weight change. Leave space for guests to write wishes for the child's future.
Step 4
Make a menu depending on the number of invitees and the length of the planned birthday. First, be guided by how many children there will be among the guests, and how many adults. It is necessary to find out the tastes and preferences in advance. Some children suffer from allergies, therefore, when setting the table, you need to take into account the preferences of each of them. Buy baby purees, juices and cookies in advance.
Step 5
Develop an adult menu at your own discretion. You can organize a buffet table or a full dinner with a selection of appetizers, salads and hot dishes. Be sure to make a cake. You can bake it yourself and decorate it according to your wishes, or order it in a pastry shop. A cake for the first birthday can be made in the shape of a fish, a train, a boat, a gazebo with toys, and so on. You don't have to limit your imagination.
Step 6
For the baby, the cake is baked separately or made from baby cookies. Sandwiched with cottage cheese cream or baby puree. Most importantly, do not forget to put one candle in the middle of such a birthday cake, which the child can blow out with your help.
Step 7
For the birthday person, prepare several beautiful elegant costumes at once so that you can change clothes if he gets dirty. Also prepare diapers and clean drinking water. Usually at this time, children are just learning how to handle the pot; in the presence of guests, they can get confused and not ask to use the toilet.
Step 8
Meet the guests together with the birthday person, present them with caps with bright drawings at the entrance, or give each of them a memorable surprise. Kids love gifts, and their good mood will be in your hands from the very beginning of the holiday.
Step 9
Focus on the preferences of the guests. Maybe some of them know how to play musical instruments, organize contests with music, play forfeits or sing children's songs in karaoke. Since children have a lot of energy, offer them a variety of outdoor activities. For example, hide and seek, improvised football, construction set, watching cartoons and puppet theater. Prepare small gifts for them.
Step 10
To prevent your child from getting tired, plan the holiday for the afternoon, when he has already slept and lasting no more than three hours. Thank the guests for coming to celebrate your baby's first anniversary!
