Party Planning Tips


The first things you want to take into consideration for 1st Birthday Party Ideas is:

  • When do you want to have the party?

  • How many guests are you going to invite?

  • Do you want to serve a meal or just snacks?

  • What games or activities will you plan?

  • Do you want the parents of young children to stay at the party

Remember, when planning a 1st Birthday Party, the party is more for the parents, the guests you invite and the memories from photos rather than the birthday child actually celebrating their birthday.

  • A one year old does not understand what their birthday is.

  • They get worked up when you take them out of their regular daily schedule.

  • And, they still need a nap during the day.

For these reasons, when you are planning your child's 1st birthday party, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Keep the guest list small

  • Limit the party to 2-3 hours

  • Plan the party around naptime

  • EXPECT either your child or one of your young guests to have a melt down


Party Theme Ideas

Picking a party theme for the First Birthday Party is very simple. A one year old does not watch a lot of television and has not developed favorite characters from the shows and movies. Pick a general topic appropriate to a boy or a girl.

We've pulled together some of the most popular themes for a one year old from Birthday in a Box. Save yourself time by using this mail-order company. You simply pick a theme and then find invitations, decorations, tableware, thank-you notes and more. Everything you need and want for a birthday party delivered right to your door!
