The first Birthday marks an important milestone for your little girl. Just a year ago you were getting ready to welcome a baby girl into your life, now you are chasing them all over the place. While her first Birthday party will not be one she remembers, it will be a special event for you and your family. Do your best to make this a fun experience for you and not a stressful one.
Plan the Birthday party according to the Birthday girl’s nap schedule, this way you don’t have a fussy one year old for her first Birthday party. Presents and Cake are best done early, before she gets too worn out.
Give the Birthday girl her own mini cake to rip apart. This is not only fun for her, it is fun to watch.
Does the Birthday girl have any siblings? If she does, keep them in mind. Especially younger children tend to feel left out for this event. Allow them to help plan for her first Birthday party and include them as much as possible.
