With all the food, decorations, planning and budgeting, organizing a kid’s birthday party can be a taxing job. The most important thing however, is to make the most of the day and enjoy every second. To make your party planning a little easier, here’s a checklist for everything you need for your baby boy’s birthday. Go ahead and make it a party to remember!

Tips to Plan Your Baby Boy’s Birthday Party

Start With a Small and Intimate Guest List

Kids can often get overwhelmed when they see a lot of new faces at once. To make your child’s birthday enjoyable and fuss free, make sure you keep a small, intimate gathering. Usually first birthdays are when the baby is formally introduced to all the extended family and relatives, make sure you have a lot of familiar faces around so your baby feels comfortable. Think of it as your baby boy’s birthday primarily, and prioritize inviting people who are important and close to them. Getting the attention of the ones your boy loves the most will make him the happiest on his big day.

Choose Your Venue Carefully

When it comes to the venue of the party, you need something children friendly, affordable and easily accessible. Sometimes, the best venue for a kid’s party is at their home as that is where they are the most comfortable. Having the party at home also means you’ll always have your kid’s belonging around, in case you need anything. However, if you’re having a big gathering, find a venue that is close to your house, can be easily baby-proofed and is in a safe area. You can choose a banquet, a roof-top café or a garden. It’s better to have the party in a spacious area because kids like to run around and having a lot of furniture or limited space will restrict and irritate them.

Have Snacks for Both Kids and Adults

While the party might be for kids, don’t forget that parents too would be attending with their younglings. You need to keep everyone well fed and happy. Adults too can get cranky if they don’t get any proper food and I bet being surrounded by dino nuggets and candies is not going to please them. So make sure you keep a few snacks for adults as well. Finger snacks and fuss free food is the way to go when it comes to kids’ parties. Also, make sure you don’t keep a lot of sweet snacks. You’ll already have a cake for all that unwarranted sugar rush!

Choose a fun Theme for Your Baby boy’s Birthday

To make the party fun, make sure you decide on a theme. These parties can be a lot of fun to plan and host. You can play around with the food, decor, outfits and even the party favors. Make sure you choose a theme that your birthday boy will love. It can be leggos, cars, jungle book, Spiderman, your child’s favorite color – literally anything that your son loves. Once you’ve decided the theme, you can have matching invites, decor, food, outfits, everything. Also, let your guests know about the theme so they know what to expect and can dress accordingly.

Plan how You’re Going to Document the Party

This one is a no brainer. Of course you want to document all the special moments at baby boy’s birthday party. And you cannot just wing it because while you’ll be busy hosting the guests, everyone else will be busy enjoying the party. So you need to hire a photographer for the task. There are many options to choose from depending on your aesthetic and budget. Alternatively, you can ask one of the relatives to take care of the pictures and vides, but make sure they are up for the task and are dedicated to it.

Plan fun Activities to Keep the Kids Busy

It’s a kid’s birthday party! Of course there will be chaos and a lot of tantrums. To make it easier for you and all the parents, plan a lot of fun activities that will keep the kids occupied. You can have art and craft activities like hand painting, pebble art, pottery etc, or you can plan fun games like musical chairs, pass the parcel, pin the tail etc. alternatively, you can also organize a magic show or a puppet show as kids find these activities super fun and intriguing. This will give the parents a break and will also make sure you party is eventful and memorable.

Make Sure to Have Enough Adults Around to Help

Your little one, plus his many little friends means you’ll have your hands full handling a bunch of kids. Make sure you have enough adults around to help you organize and host the party. Invite the parents too and allow them to get their baby-sitters along. You can also ask your sibling or close friends to come and help you manage the party. Remember, you don’t have to do everything on your own. Outsource and get as much help as you can from others for a smooth sail. Otherwise it’ll be a day full of kids’ tantrums and breakdowns for you.

Don’t Forget the Party Favors

A great way to end the party always is to hand out party favors. They are not necessarily, but add a thoughtful touch to your party. Plus, these are kids we’re talking about! Kids always love getting gifts. And giving them cute little party favors will make your party even more memorable for them. You can have something useful like water colors, sketch board, markers etc as gifts, or you can give food like candies and cupcakes to end the party on a sweet note. You can even personalize the gifts by putting name tags on each one of them. The more creative you get with the gifts, the more they’ll be appreciated by the parents, too. So don’t forget to add that it factor to your return gifts.

Pro Tip: Spend an hour or so thoroughly going through your venue to check if the place is safe for kids. Baby-proof the place as much as possible to avoid any mishaps. And replace all the breakable cutlery with either plastic or disposable crockery.
