The baby's first birthday is a big holiday not only for the birthday boy, but also for all his relatives. He must definitely be remembered in a good way by the child, because his attitude to the holidays in the future depends on this.
Instructions
Step 1
On the eve of the holiday, you can prepare your baby by telling him what an important day will come tomorrow. Tell him who will come to visit you so that it does not frighten the child. Show the outfit you want him to wear. Make it feel like something special is coming.
Step 2
It is better to schedule a birthday celebration at the time when the child wakes up after a nap. The kid will be active and cheerful, and you will avoid whims. Be sure to decorate the room. Buy a garland of letters or make one yourself, release helium balloons into the ceiling, print a few photos from the first days and months of the baby. Party caps can be prepared for guests.
Step 3
When planning a menu, you should not cook too many dishes and turn the celebration into an ordinary feast. Ideally, it would be good to give up alcohol, replacing it with aromatic tea or juice. While taking out the birthday cake, light a number-shaped candle and help your toddler to blow it out. The first piece must go to the birthday boy. Be prepared that the fancy suit you have chosen for so long will be mercilessly stained. Do not scold the kid.
Step 4
To make the baby remember the first holiday with happiness and fun, think over the program of the event. If guests come with children, play the Who's in the Bag game. Place the plush toys in a large holiday bag and have the little ones take turns sticking their hand inside without peeping. Each child must guess what kind of toy he groped for. You can arrange a crawling competition with children who do not yet know how to walk. Young guests will be very pleased with a small show, you can act out the scene yourself or attract older children. Bubbles and round dances will also be fun entertainment at the holiday.
Step 5
Invite guests to write a letter to the future for your child. How do they see the birthday boy in five to ten years, what they want to wish him. Put your message in an envelope or a pretty box. Do not forget to take a photo of the baby with the birthday cake and surrounded by guests.
Step 6
During the holiday, carefully monitor the condition of the child. If you notice that he is tired, go with him to another room. Sit a little together, chat, ask his opinion about the holiday, look at the gifts. At the end of the celebration, walk the whole company down the street. The highlight of the celebration will be the launch of balloons into the sky.
