1st Birthday Party Ideas
When you have a baby, you want to do your best to make every moment of their lives precious and special. It is very easy to show your love and affection when your child is celebrating their birthday. When the baby is going on to one year, their birthday experience is usually for the family and friends. All the same, you plan how you are going to throw the very best party to appreciate the life of your baby. You therefore desperately need, 1st birthday party ideas. Ideas are everywhere and you will be forgiven for being a bit confused at this stage. Start by relaxing and then think of what your child likes to play with and, you will birth a theme that is going to fit the birthday occasion for your little one.
There are so many things to consider when you are planning the party and you need 1st birthday party ideas for the invitations, games or activities, cakes, favors, food, costumes and the list goes on. The internet will provide you with a variety of 1st birthday party ideas and you can make a note of all the things you want for the occasion. The first thing is to decide on the venue of the birthday party. Parents and guardians are advised to have the party in an environment that is familiar to the baby. Therefore, home is the best venue for a 1st birthday party. Some people will find venues they think will be more fun to party attendants. Whichever your chosen venue is, make sure the birthday baby is made as comfortable as possible.
1st birthday party ideas for invitations may include the following. Use the first pictures of the baby to make out an invitation and you can do this by photocopying the picture and using it as the front of a folded invitation. Remember to include all the vital details about the venue, name of the birthday baby and the time of the party. You can also make your very own baby birth certificate using your computer and it is a great idea to send to your guests. It is very vital to consider who to invite to the party and some of the people who are sure to be in attendance are grandparents, relatives and close friends. Friends to your baby will be vital guests so that the birthday baby can have fun with people his age.
You need 1st birthday party ideas for decorations and this is so much fun. Color will be the key attraction and you can find an attractive candle to tie in the middle of the venue to show what the occasion is all about. Cut out one on a beautifully colored paper and use it also to decorate. Use helium balloons, stuffed animals and others to personalize the decorations. There are so many things you can do for decorations and remember to let the theme guide you. You need to keep a good supply of party foods and children will enjoy Ice Cream, applesauce, cupcakes, peanut butter or cream cheese sandwiches and the list is endless. Adults can have cut fruit, cheese and crackers, pretzels, raw vegetable platter with deep and many others. You can also include various crafts like finger painting, hand prints in clay or plaster and the list goes on.

Looking for an inexpensive place to get food for a small party in St. Louis.?
My brother & I are planning to throw a surprise party for our parents' 30th anniversary in April, for about 50 people. I think we already have a location (though suggestions would be welcome). Right now we're having trouble finding a place to do hors d'ouvres (finger food) at a reasonable price - we'd like to keep the food portion under $100 if possible. We are both living out-of-town so we're in the dark as to who does good party platters. We've checked out Schnucks & Dierbergs, but they seem a bit pricey.
Any suggestions? We're looking for regular food, like, fruit/cheese/crackers, mini sandwiches, spinach dip, chips/cookies, soda/juice to drink.
thanks!
Try the American Legion halls. many of them have both halls and a kitchens where they may hep you. Try also the Elks lodges
