Suggestions for daughter's first birthday party?

firsttimem

We are on a tight budget this month, so I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas for making this a great birthday for my beautiful baby girl who deserves everything. I could use advice on gift ideas, decorations, as well as what kind of cake we should get her.

Answer
I know how you feel. We went crazy for our daughter's first and now we have scaled it down. Now I always try to think of ways to save money and still make it fun & unique:

Make your own cupcakes/cake.

Make your own invitations.

For your theme, you don't have to get everything with the character on it. For ex., my son just had a Mickey theme, and I found printables online (playhousedisney.com). Also, I bought a few character items, but bought different colored untensils, plates, etc. to coordinate (red, yellow, black & white for Mickey)

Have it at home or at a park. At home, plan some games for older kids and/or adults. At the park, there is a playground for kids, so that's free entertainment.

Orientaltrading.com has great deals on all party supplies & favors.

Check out ebay for great deals on favors, supplies, etc.

I try to make my own food for the party.

Enlist friends & family to help: my mom helps with food, my sister helps with entertaining (she's very artistic so one year she face-painted the kids)

If you want to splurge on one thing & make it really special, we had a caricature artist for her first & everybody loved it. We had Dan the Cartoon Man (search him on yahoo) and he was awesome!

For party favors, I try to find unique items b/c kids get too much candy and knick knack that they always throw out anyways. Hand puppets, books, personalized crazy straws (search online), etc.

Be creative & have fun!

I want to throw my son a party for his first birthday, suggestions?

C

I was thinking of possible themes. He likes Yo Gabba Gabba and Blue's Clues. Most of the kids attending will be ages 5-11. Does anyone have a better idea for a theme? Or and idea for favors, games.. All suggestions welcome!

Answer
blue's clues is perfect for a 1st birthday!!

for invitations (if you want to make your own):

cut out 3x5 cards out of blue or white cardstock. use a rubber paw print (or cut out a paw print from blue paper) and stamp/attach paw print onto card. using a gel pen write

"Here's a clue just for you...
balloons, cake and confetti too...
It's a Party!"

decorations:

blue/white tablecloths,streamers,balloons. cut out paw prints from blue paper and use them as confetti on your table. use a helium tank or have a party place blow up blue/white balloons-attach them to a stuffed blue dog for your centerpiece.

games:

The Thinking Chair
Cover a chair with special red fabric. Place several easily recognized
items on a tray; blocks, spoon, blue's clue toy, crayon...
Gather the children in a circle around the thinking chair. Show them
the tray with all of the items. The first player will sit in the thinking chair.
You will leave the room with the tray, remove an item off of the tray.
When you return with the tray can the player in the thinking chair guess what's missing? Keep playing until all of the children have had a turn.


Paw Puzzler
Before the party -- Print out Blues Clues pictures from the Internet or,
use a coloring book. Use a glue stick to affix each picture onto some construction paper. Cut the pictures into 2, 3, or 4 puzzle pieces.
Hide the pieces around the party area. The children will each find one puzzle piece and then find the the players with the matching piece/s.
*Nick Jr. has free printable sheets. You'll find a link and
resources at the bottom of this page.

Pin the Paw on Blue
This game is played just like "Pin-the-tail on the Donkey"
Find a print out pattern and directions on Nick Jr. website

or you can also play "pin the flag on mailbox"

at the end of the game-give each child a paw shaped sucker (you can find the molds and the candy melts to make these at any michael's craft store). wrap the suckers in blue cellophane or plastic wrap and tie w/blue ribbon

FOOD;

make dog bone sandwiches using a dog bone shaped cookie cutter

blue's special drink: use blueberry flavored italian syrup and mix w/soda water. top w/whip cream and blue sprinkles

make blue koolaid

mini hot dogs (use crescent rolls and little smokies-wrap the smokies in crescent rolls-cut the dough in half first and bake in oven at 350 for about 10 mins or until bread is golden brown)

craft:

make jumbo "handy dandy notebooks". buy red construction paper and regular notebook paper. cut the construction paper to be the same size as the notebook paper-punch holes in the top to line up with the holes on the sides of the notebook paper. using a black pipe cleaner, wrap the cleaner through the holes to make the spiral on the top. give kids stickers, markers, sequins,etc to decorate their notebooks.

GOODY BAGS:

go to your local dollar store and find red/blue sandpails and shovels (these are everywhere right now b/c summer is coming). put blue tissue paper inside w/blue's clues fruit snacks, blue blow pops/suckers, bubbles (see if you can find blue ones-dollar store should have them), and blue finger paint or modeling clay.

hope this helps!!!
