First Birthday Tips That Will Help You to Plan a Successful Party

First birthdays are special occasions for parents who always want to celebrate this day in a grand way. However, they don’t realize that their little child is not in a condition to understand the significance behind this celebration. Excited parents make every effort to plan a memorable party but often ignore certain issues that are extremely crucial for first birthdays. Apart from buying the required First Birthday Party Supplies, there are many other things that you must plan in order to avoid the unpleasant first birthday incidents. Here is a checklist that will help you to avoid such happenings.

 

                                              

• Decide your budget first because everything else depends on it. Many parents want to host a lavish party for their child, whereas many others want to keep it simple, as this party would be more for the parents than for their little ones.
• Depending on your budget, you can have a party at a commercial place or at home. If you are not inviting many people, you should always consider hosting the party as home. This is because; your child will be most comfortable in his home.
• Do not invite too many people, as your child will not be comfortable with a lot of strange faces. The smaller your guest list, the easier it will be for you to entertain your guests, apart from handling your baby. Let this party be for family and special friends.
• Theme parties are not required at this age but you can always choose a simple theme to give a coordinated look to your party. Buy the required First Birthday Supplies to make things easier for you. Instead of taking out your expensive crockery, buy the disposable themed cups, plates, etc. so that you don’t have to do a lot of after party cleaning.
• Do not go for a grand decoration; as you have many other responsibilities apart from handling your little one, who needs your complete attention. A simple decoration using first birthday party supplies is ideal for first birthdays.
• Plan the party activities according to the age of your invitees. If all of them are infants and preschoolers, create a safe play zone for them. Put a lot of stuff toys and mind games for them to play with. Baby-proof your entire house to ensure that the kids are safe.
• Do not take a lot of stress for planning this event. Also, do not keep high expectations for this party. Kids are unpredictable and chances are there that your cute princess may not like the guests and will resist your every effort to keep her happy.

Justin Bieber Party Favors That Are the Perfect Selection for a Rocking Celebration

A Justin Bieber party theme is every tween girl’s dream. This singing sensation has won almost every heart, thereby becoming a huge icon for tween and teens. I have seen many girls who are simply crazy about Bieber parties. Even the hangover of such parties remains for a long time and with a party bag having an excellent assortment of favors that can serve as a keepsake, the hangover never goes away. Here is an excellent party bag idea that will win all little hearts present at your party.

• Instead of the usual Justin Bieber party bags, I would recommend you to buy the Justin theme Tote bags. These bags have a handle and therefore, are very convenient to carry. They can be used later on for carrying swimming costume while going to the pool or carrying the sipper while going out for shopping. I have always felt that a handle can turn your ordinary party bag to a reusable one. This is the reason why I always recommend people to use a Tote bag instead of a standard bag.
  
  
  
• To fill the bag, use many less value items along with one key favor that will be the special attraction of the event.
• Stickers and tattoos can be the smaller favors. You can use tattoos during your event or else give them away as favors. The stickers would serve as a keepsake. The girls would love to use them on their cupboard doors, activity book, etc.
  
  
  
• MyBirthdaySupplies has unique squiggle straws that feature Justin. A pack these straws can also be an excellent way to make the little guests feel special.
  
  
  
• Getting a Justin Bieber theme pillow can be the dream comes true for any girl. Buy some plain white pillows and iron print Justin’s picture on it. The girls would scream out of joy when they will find this in their tote bag.

Although this assortment of favors sounds expensive, it is actually not going to cost you a lot. Moreover, it will definitely give you the attention that you are looking for. 

Cupcake Theme Decoration Ideas for a Perfect Pinkalicious Party

Although cupcakes are popular among all generations, kids have a special affair with these delicious desserts. They are slowly replacing the large expensive cakes for birthdays, weddings, and on many other occasions. Health concern mommies are more often choosing them for kids because they have less calories and a very small amount of fat. Helen was one of them who always encouraged her daughter Jessica to have cupcakes instead of other fatty options. She even decided to host a cupcake theme party for Jessica’s birthday but we couldn’t get simple cupcake supplies. I suggested her to take up Pinkalicious birthday theme, as the products would be featuring cupcakes. Here is how we decorated the venue to look like a cupcake workshop.

• We hung a large cupcake shaped piñata at the entry door to lure the little cupcake lovers. The door had a signboard stating ‘Welcome to Jessica’s cupcake factory’. I could see the giggles when the girls read the signboard. To keep up with the expectations of the guests, we had done a tempting decoration indoor.
• We hung a lot of cupcake cutouts from the ceiling using curling ribbons.
• Instead of the Pinkalicious themed store-bought party hats, Helen made her own hats at home using pink colored card stock and pasted a large sized cupcake sticker on each of them.
• The party table was the center of attraction and needed special attention. We bought brown table cover that matched with the color of the batter and had Pinkalicious themed tableware to look like pink frosting. For centerpieces, Helen made some pink tissue pompoms and fixed them to a glass plate. On the top of pompoms she fixed some cherries to make them look like cupcakes.
• Helen bought some pink bags and cut them in the shape of cupcakes. She also attached a pink ribbon on the top so that the kids can easily grab them. She placed these bags on the shelves of the party area so that they look like decoration pieces. Nobody guessed that these are favor bags until she asked the little cupcake lovers to pick one for themselves.

I will be sharing more Pinkalicious party ideas in my upcoming blogs. Feel free to use any of these ideas if you like them and do share with me the pictures of your celebrations at mybirthdaysupplies@gmail.com so that I can use them here.  

Confused With Birthday Themes? Go for a Colorful Party

The craze of hosting theme parties has dominated the globe so much that every party these days is hosted on a specific theme be it a character, an event, animals, celebrities, or even an issue. To keep themselves up with the trend, many people take unnecessary stress of hosting a theme party.

Daniel (name changed on request) is one such person whom I met a few weeks back. He approached me to plan his daughter Nancy’s first birthday. Since Nancy’s mother passed away a week after she was born, Daniel have been both a father and mother to her. Like any other parent, he wanted to host an extraordinary party but wasn’t sure which Birthday Party Theme to take up. Nancy was too small to have a say and Daniel had little understanding of the girl’s themes and choices.

I grabbed this opportunity and shared my favorite idea of hosting a colorful party instead of choosing any individual character party. Initially, Daniel was little reluctant but when I showed him the pictures of the previous colorful parties that I had organized, he gave his nod. I got so much emotionally involved with Nancy that I started planning her party as if it’s my own daughter’s party. At many points, I even ignored Daniel’s opinions that I felt were not better than mines.

For making the invitations, we took poster size white card stocks and spray painted them with various colors. At the center of the card, we pasted Nancy’s picture and on the reverse side we wrote the party details. We followed the same painting procedure for making the envelopes.

The decorations were simple. We used a lot of solid color latex balloons of various colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, pink, etc. along with some happy birthday printed balloons, and number 1 shaped Mylar balloons. The other birthday supplies that we used were crepe paper rolls, confetti, happy birthday banner, etc. For the party table, we used a sunshine yellow colored table cover, ruby red colored cutlery, royal blue colored plates, and forest green colored napkins. The party table was looking vibrant and got a lot of appreciation.

Most of the guests were girls between 3-5 years and therefore, we decided to give them faux jewelry. For the two boys, we had spin tops and squirt guns. The favor bags also had lots of colorful candies and mints.

The birthday party ideas were admired by many moms and therefore, Daniel was happy with the way the party was planned. Some of the character theme crazy moms realized that a colorful party can actually be one of the best themes for kid’s birthdays.   

Dora Birthday Party: The Invitations that Will Excite the Invitees to Start Their Adventure

Invitations are a very crucial part of any party. Your invite will set the expectations of the guests and therefore, needs a special attention. An ideal invitation should match with the theme of the party, thereby reflecting your plans. For your kid’s Dora party, here are some ideas for making the invites.

Store-bought invites:

If you are hard-pressed with time or do not want to take the stress of designing the invites, the store-bought ones are always there for your rescue. Dora is a famous character and therefore, Dora birthday party supplies including the invites are available with almost all party supplies stores. These invitations are pretty good and will fulfill your needs.

Map-Style Invitations:

They are an excellent fit for this adventurous theme. The character Dora is always on an exploration and uses maps to locate places and get directions. If you have some knowledge of designing, you can make your own map-styled invitation in your PC or else just use a brown cardstock to take print out of a map of your city or many be region. On the reverse side of it, draw a small portion of the map that specifically gives the details of your neighborhood along with your party details. Roll them up into tubes, tie a purple ribbon, and hand-deliver them.

A Spanish pocket dictionary invite:

Every Dora fan knows the importance of a Spanish dictionary and would be extremely delighted to receive one. Write your party details on the first page of the invite and giftwrap it. Although this will be an expensive invite, you will realize its significance when you will see the kids using Spanish at your party. To compensate, you may cut down your party favor budget.

Dora the Explorer CD

Make a CD of a few episodes of Dora that you think the kids would have missed due to their exams or any other reason. Spray paint a paper CD cover with purple paint and allow it to dry. After the paint has dried, write your party details on it using a black marker pen and insert the CD into the cover and voila! Your invite is ready.

Spiderman Party Favors That Will Give a Perfect End to Your Web-Slinging Party

Perhaps the scariest part of organizing a party is deciding upon the favors. You want to give away something unique and attractive but after spending so much on the party, you will never have a good budget for buying them. I have seen people keeping a dedicated budget for the favors; however, they always cut it short later on, due to overspending in other essentials. Such situations are unavoidable and the best way to handle them is to buy favors that match your budget as well as meet the expectations of your guests. The standard inexpensive items such as masks, blowouts, stickers, etc. have always been a great addition but choosing something else will give you an edge over others. Here are some party favor ideas that can fit in your Spidermanbirthday theme party.

Spiderman Comic Book

Let your kids enjoy your party hangover by reading a book on their favorite superhero. The parents would love this idea, as most of them want to avoid the same old stuffs that the kids get at almost all birthdays. This educational and entertaining favor would get a lot of appreciation. To make your guests feel valued, include a thank you note inside the book or buy customizable bookmarks, write your thank you message on it, and put it in the favor bag.

A can of Silly strings

Even though you don’t want a mess, kids are fond playing with silly string, making it too difficult to resist. This inexpensive game matches your Spiderman party theme and therefore, is a good choice. While including the can in your favor bags, attach a tag to it mentioning the famous Spiderman statement ‘great power comes with great responsibility’ along with a request to use it carefully so that they don’t mistakenly direct it in someone’s eye.

Water bottles and Sippy cups

The little heroes get thirsty after a lot of adventure. They have to run around the house, study hard and play till exhausted. To keep them hydrated, give them Spiderman theme water bottles. For toddlers, you can buy the Sippy cups. Since Spiderman is a very popular character, you will easily get these Spidermanparty supplies at any nearby store. If you don’t find them easily, buy the solid colored ones in blue. Spray paint some portion of these blue cups and bottle with black color to make it match the theme. Paste a Spiderman sticker after the paint dries and yippee, your Spiderman party favor is ready. The sticker won’t last long but the color combination will still be there to remind the supermen about the fun time they had at your party.

You can also consider the Spiderman theme school supplies but I guess most kids have them. If you like these ideas, keep reading this blog for more interesting spiderman birthday ideas.
