My sons first birthday is next month, i’m excited because it is his first birthday and it felt like this time has just flown by so it’s exciting to celebrate how much he has grown. With me having some baby siblings i’ve attended some first birthdays and everyone does it differently. The first birthday is pretty much for the parents, and the family as your LO doesn’t really know or care about what is going on. But as he has grown bigger, he is in need of some new things. So instead of just buying here and there i figured i would get them a birthday gifts. So i do plan on getting him some gifts.
I’m not sure if i want to throw a big party and invite friends and family, go out some where or just have a family birthday party.
There’s all kinds of fun ideas, but i see no point in spending hundreds of dollars on something he won’t even remember. I want it to be fun, i want him to kind of understand or know that, that day is special for him.
What are some good ideas? How did you celebrate your LO’s 1st birthday?
I think people take the first birthday party for granted, no your LO won’t remember much or any at all so you really shouldn’t spend hundreds of dollars, but it is a special day for the parent’s and the family and when they get older they will get to hear those stories, and those memories, and see those pictures. You don’t have to throw a big party or buy lots of gifts for it to be special. When it turns into it being all about those things, it loses how special it is. Because it’s about them and how you treat them, 1 year old or 50. That day should be special.
