First Birthday: with children or adults?

For a whole year you proudly bear the title of parents. Your little little girl turned into a polite gentleman or sweet princess, stretched out, ate sweet cheeks, learned a million new things, gave you the first smile, the first "Mommy!", Laughter, crawl, steps ... The fastest and most intense - the first year of your treasure's life comes to the end. And it would be worthy to celebrate such an important date in the life of the whole family. The celebration is approaching, and you still have not started preparations?


For many mothers (and often daddies) preparing for the celebration of the first year is like a wedding bustle. Scenarios are being written, decorations are being bought, wall newspapers are being drawn, dozens of pages are being studied, books, magazines. Ideas are an incredible quantity and it is not known how to make a holiday the most-most? And most importantly how to celebrate the first birthday? With children or adults?

The role of the baby in training

Let's try together to figure out how it's all the best to do in this situation.

In fact, the answer to the question: a child is a holiday or an adult is not entirely unambiguous. After all, many are convinced that the child still does not understand anything and there is no need to gather a crowd of mothers with children who will chaos and even do not understand what the meeting is about.

And very much in vain, that adults dump the accounts of children's interests.

After all, whatever it was, it's your baby. And already at this age the kid will surely feel that this day is unusual, that everything revolves around him, that he is a birthday boy!

Beginning to prepare for the holiday, dedicate the crumb to your plans. Tell me what you are doing and why. About how you are happy and a little sad to realize how quickly it grows.

Regardless of who you decide to celebrate with your birthday, it makes sense to think it over carefully.

Most parents store on computer a lot of gigabytes of photos and videos of the first year of life. At the same time, children are growing at such a rate that sometimes they can find the time for viewing already filmed material, it is trivial, there is no possibility. In this case, we come to the aid of various programs for the installation of video clips or a slide show.

You can find both enough voluminous programs, more professional level, and the simplest, standard, in which each mother can easily understand.

Creating a film for the first holiday of your child, you will remember a lot of pleasant, and, oddly enough, forgotten moments of the previous months.

And you and your guests will watch the video at the beginning of your holiday. Be some grandmother with grandfathers, who undoubtedly will not be able to see what is seen or children and mothers.

Perhaps, it is not necessary to arrange a holiday for a year-old outside the house and the usual situation. Entertainment centers and animators can scare their scales, and not so many gaming devices for such kids can be found. At home it will be calmer, more comfortable and at least your non-lieutenant will feel at ease and understand who is today's celebrant.

If you decide to celebrate a birthday with children, take care of the quantity of guests. Be sure to ventilate the apartment, clean unnecessary things. Considering that the room will be decorated, it is important not to overload it with bright colors and large objects. Remove the brainy figurines or other fragile or unimportant things from the coffee table. Do not forget about safety. If your egoza is firmly aware that the sockets are under the counter, this does not mean that all parents get to the year to wean children to climb, where they should not.

Small children's table

Perhaps you will like the idea of ​​a bus station. Little guests are unlikely to be plodding, and mothers do not need to constantly run out of the table in search of mischievous children. Light table with snacks, sweets, baked drinks in the form of juices, compote or tea. Can come with tartlets with salads or canapés, so it was convenient to grab on the go.

If you do not accept such a variant and want to make everyone sit at the table, then you should not expect the children to keep such conditions.

Curious as to what delicacies your guests are enjoying. Some babies are prone to allergies, it is also important to clarify the parents.

Many are already gradually moving to the general table, but nevertheless, it is not worthwhile to persevere and offer to children the dishes intended for their parents.

For a children's table it makes sense to make fruit puree, preferably on a low-almond apple, yogurt, kefir, compote from dried fruits.

Just put boxwalkers just in case, suddenly your celebration will just fall out at the time of eating at someone from the babies who were invited.

Replace the cream cake, which will be tried by the senior, the charlotte without sugar or with the minimal addition of cream.

There are many contests to think up nonsense. Kids will need time to get used to each other (despite the fact that they are already familiar), plus take attention to gifts, new toys, clutter, which is sure to be that way for a day.

To minimize the possibility of the appearance of a bad mood, initially solve the issue with time. The meeting should be lengthy. Unequivocally, you should not break the steady-state regime of at least your child. Guests in this regard are heavier, but a birthday person should be in a good mood and not fall asleep in the middle of fun.

Spirit of the holiday

It does not matter whether you decide to celebrate your child's 1 year with children or with adults, create an atmosphere of a holiday. We have already talked about slideshow. But if it is not mandatory, then the rest of the holiday attributes should be in any case.

The perpetrator of the festivities must have been ecstatic at the sight of how many balls had flown into his house! And pictures of nastenah and streamers with "Happy Birthday!" Will cause a smile throughout the day.

Do not want to draw wall newspapers? Order a ready-made, according to the template, but a snitch of your child. This service is available in any large salon photo services.

Collect only relatives, admire the one-year-old grandchild (a), niece (ka), goddaughter (ka)? Well, in that case, look for their children's photos. It will be interesting to everyone to look for the inter-generational relationship.

Conduct a quiz on the topic, who knows the luckiest birthday better.

Prepare small presents for each guest. Magnetik for adults, fruit for children. Solemnly introvert. Confectionery fantasies do not know the boundaries, so you decide whether to prepare the main decoration of the table yourself or to entrust to professionals. In any case, the cake, as a rule, is the highlight of the program and attracts everyone's attention, especially children. Even if they do not get a piece, in view of the excessive sweetness.

It is possible to argue on the subject of adulthood of a children's holiday for a long time. We just wanted to show you that even if you do not have the same age as your child's peers, the first birthday should be childish. Have fun, rejoice in every smile of your baby! Give him a real treat!
