Start as you mean to go on Party plans for the day he turns one
Unbelievable but true, even though it only seems like a few weeks ago that you were cradling him in your arms for the first time, he is about to have his 1st birthday boy party. Remember the way he grasped your finger with the strength of a mighty man? Remember how you thought you would never take your eyes off him, not even for a minute, because he is the apple of your eye? And now look at him, attempting to do the wobbling walk and topple technique, and testing out a few words, if you can call them that. He's well on his way to turning out to be an all round jolly good chap. You can hardly believe where the time has gone. Mind you, with a little guy like him around, with all his demands and needs, you've not had much time to sit down and twiddle your thumbs. When you are that busy, time really does fly. You want to mark the occasion with a baby's birthday bash, and you want this 1st birthday boy party to go well, for the little chap himself as well as all his cute little friends, and their minders. Chances are it will end up a jelly throwing, temper tantrum fest for all, unless you organize it well. But where do you begin with the plans for such a momentous event?
The concentration span of a one year old child is not very long, so the main event at the 1st birthday boy party will probably be the food, apart, of course, from the gurgling communication between the little loves and eventually the crying and screaming, possibly from the grown ups. So, the table is expected to be the central point of the 1st birthday boy party, and it needs to be decorated in just the right way, brightly and colorfully to keep the little ones enthralled. With all the spillage and mess that is bound to occur as the little guys still struggle to remember where their mouths are, a plastic table cloth is possibly the most important item on your 1st birthday boy party list. With a bright red number 1 splashed across the middle, a 1st birthday boy party plastic tablecloth is both eye catching and practical, and if you purchase 2, you could cover the floor beneath the table too to catch all the messy drops of cake and jelly, crisps and drinks. Matching table accessories are a must for any discerning one year old 1st birthday boy party, and a set of 8 cups with a number one design, as well as a set of 8 funky square matching plates means that there will be no breakage of your own plates and, even more importantly, no washing up to do. After all, you'll be on your hands and knees scrubbing the carpet for hours after all the little cherubs have gone home to their cots to dream about cakes. To wipe their little angel faces, there is also a matching set of 16 napkins. Presumably the extra 8 are for the parents and minders who will be indulging in a bit of 1st birthday boy party food too. Of course, before you get to the table decoration and adornment, you will need to invite your guests to the event of the year, so a set of matching invitations will bring them squealing with delight to your door. And to make sure that these small 1st birthday boy party guests turn up at the right venue, a lovely bright Happy Birthday Boy Banner, measuring 4.5 meters long, is big enough to stick across the front of the house exterior or in the 1st birthday boy party room to give it that special birthday party atmosphere.
Once the diminutive guests have arrived and eaten everything in sight, you will need something bright and colorful to keep them amused. To make this 1st birthday boy party one to remember, a Number 1 Pinata in lovely garish colors will capture their attention, and you can stuff it to the brim with yummy sweets. The little people will not believe their eyes when they see all those goodies just waiting to be nibbled. After all his little friends have left him all alone, a lovely touch to cheer him up is a 1st birthday boy party helium balloon with a huge number 1 on its front. He will be fascinated with this floating balloon, and will probably insist on taking it to bed with him. Just remember to tie it to something heavy in order to prevent it from floating up to the ceiling or you may find yourself woken at 3 in the morning by a very fractious one year old who can not reach its string.
