Birthdays
are one of the most important events in our lives. This day signifies
our
arrival in the world and the celebration of it is a commemmoration of
that
first time we've ever came into the world. Most especially for our
precious
baby.
Here
are some tips to get that baby bash on the roll and be the talk of the
baby
land for a week or so. One, preparation of the baby bash is extremely
important! Create a theme that you would like to follow. Would you like
your
baby bash to be a sci-fi adventure? Or would you want your baby bash to
be a
costume party? Or rent even an amusement park complete with the
merry-go-round
and a clown or two. Whatever you decide, the baby bash needs to be
well-thought
of to keep it organized as well as the safety of the guests can be
assured.
The
baby bash depends on the age of the baby. For one year olds, clowns
would do so
that he or she can facilitate the party since the most important guests
would
be the little children. Magic shows and puppetry would be sufficient to
keep
the children interested and satisfied. While for two years old and
older, since
by this time, they are already mobile and have learned to walk, a
costume party
or an amusement park theme would be the solution to keep the kids happy. Balloons to keep them preoccupied, cotton
candy to keep them busy and lots and lots of kiddie food.
Second,
sending out the invites. It seems that babies are conversational
pieces. Thus,
your network of friends increase since you meet other moms and dads who
have
babies near your baby's age group. They can become your buddies,
swapping
babysitting time when you need to unwind and relax. Their kids are your
guests
in the baby bash and not the parents. Thus, the baby bash must be
geared towards
the kid's enjoyment.
Third,
preparation of the food. Since this is a kiddie party, finger foods
should
comprise most of your menu. Kids easily tire of food and so small
portions must
be served at them. If possible, separate the food of the parents with
the kids,
if the parents were invited.
Sometimes,
a baby bash becomes an adult get-together when there are no other
babies that
could be invited.
Whatever
you have decided what the baby bash must be like, keep in mind that the
baby's
comfort is more important. Sometimes, there are babies who are afraid
of
clowns. You must have an alternative activity in mind in case this
happens.
Fourth,
post baby bash activities. After all the food, the favors and trimmings
gone,
it is time to clean up. The most convenient way to finish all the food
left is
to ask mothers to take home a portion of the food served. This not only
minimizes food spoilage, it would also keep the kids occupied during
the drive
home, in case they start asking for food. Because there are kids who
play all
throughout the party and do not pay attention to the food. But once
they have
settled down, usually during the ride home, then they start to feel
hunger
pangs. Thus, you would be helping parents keep the kids behaved during
the ride
home.
Then
baby bash need not be a strenuous and nerve-racking activity that moms
would
rather not plan for. It could also be enjoyable for the parents as well. Learn more about Baby Gifts .
