1) Set your budget: The first and foremost step is to decide on how much you are ready to spend for the party. Usually the first birthdays are celebrated lavishly when compared to other birthdays. 2) Guest List: Based on the first step, decide who all are going to be present in the celebration. Collect the phone numbers or addresses of the invitees. Do not forget your kids' pals for the party as they are the ones who make your child happy. Plan for the necessary arrangements if the guests invited are from far away places. 3) Decide the venue: Select a venue for the birthday party that is within your budget and convenient to all your guests. Also it is preferable if it is near to your home as you can keep a watch on the arrangements on the day of the party. 4) Invitations: Select the invitation cards. They can be prepared with cute photos of the birthday kid on them in addition to good matter. These days e-invitations can also be made. You can also stick to calling the guests through phone or visiting their home to reduce the budget and have a personal touch to invitation. 5) Select the cake: Cake is the most essential part of the birthday party. If your kid is old enough, give him/her a chance to select it from the cake album at the bakery. You can later decide the weight of the cake needed depending on the number of guests. 6) Food : Finalize the items for the food that is to be served at the party. Do not forget to include the birthday kid's favourite dish. Afterall it is his/her big day. Select the resources for serving the food. Arrange for paper plates, cups, disposable glasses, napkins, tissue papers etc., 7) Entertainment show: Arrange for a program to entertain kids. A professional can be called for performing a magic show or ventriloquism. To reduce the budget, a pre-informed simple fancy dress competition can be arranged which creates a lot of curiousity among children for the party day. For more ideas of entertainment click here. |
