Birthday Party Ideas
by
Mrs.
Party... Gail Leino
The 1st birthday for a
child is a very special event for the parents. Parents
and children both need to be entertained at the party.
Every event needs a party
theme even if it's a 1st birthday
party."
A theme helps to create a
festive atmosphere at your party. For any event
including a 1st birthday party, decorating to a theme
presents a special feeling. Some party theme ideas
include luau,
western, black light, Hawaiian, Mardi Gras,
characters,
fiesta, sports, 50's, roaring 20's, disco 80's, hippie 60's,
crazy
hats, and patriotic. The party theme should be
followed throughout each aspect of the event including the invitations,
food, decorations,
and music.
Party games and activities
add excitement to any event. Some party ideas for
party games and activities include: physical games, crafts,
and brain games. Always have an extra game or activity
to fill a possible lull at the party. Party
Games Etc has TONS of FREE party game ideas for
birthdays and adult parties plus games for holidays
including Halloween,
Christmas,
and Hanukkah.
Also, they have bridal
shower games and baby
shower games (for future reference)!
Party music, prizes and party
favors are great party
ideas to make a finishing touch to ensure an awesome
time by all. Set up the party music to your party
theme a few days before the event. Test the music
player. Don't wait till the day before! Party
centerpieces can be doubled as party prizes. Everyone
loves to win a prize. For events that have assigned
seating, a picture frame can be used as place-card holders
which can be also used as party
favors. Gift
baskets or flowers
make lovely centerpieces and can also be used for party
prizes.
Have fun at your party and
so will the guests!
