1st birthday is the biggest milestone for the parents and the kid. It’s one of the most exciting times for the parents, no other ceremony or birthday party holds such excitement and joy, that the first birthday does. Everything needs to be perfect and pre-planned. First birthday is the time when your baby is too small to understand or take an active part in his own party, but we as parents are overwhelmed with joy and plan the best birthday party so that it can be remembered by all. Focusing on the 1st birthday, there are N number of challenges parent faces, such as venue, birthday theme, return gifts, menu, dress code and what not. Being a mother myself, I took almost 3 months to finish everything for my kid’s 1st birthday party. I made a checklist, mentioning the things that I could not miss. The most important thing for any birthday party is deciding the theme. Once the theme is decided everything else falls into place. Birthday themes can be categorized into - Girls and Boys theme.
