Mylar is generally considered safer for this age, as latex balloons can pose a choking hazard when the inevitable pop occurs. At this stage of the birthday game, one or two key decorations plus balloons will carry the day. If your child has expressed a definite preference for a toy or character or color, you have your theme! But it’s okay if your strategy is choosing a color that’s easy to find in the party section. You’re sure to be busy when you most want a photo, so ask a friend or relative who’s good with a camera to be mindful about snapping those iconic moments. A First Birthday doesn’t require documentation by a pro, but having a designated photographer is a good idea. The guest of honor will enjoy elements of this special occasion, but photos are the memories Baby will have of this birthday. An hour to an hour-and-a-half is the timeframe most recommended for a one-year-old’s celebration. And definitely put the extravaganza party ideas on hold for a future celebration when pony rides or organized games will be enjoyed and remembered.

Consider Baby’s tolerance for groups and chaos, and invite accordingly. There are no set guidelines for the number of friends to invite to Baby’s very first party, because the event is really for the grown-ups celebrating this very special person! One-year-olds don’t care whether there’s a big bash or a cupcake after dinner, so prioritize staying inside your child’s comfort zone. Keep reading for a few tips to help you plan a great First Birthday Party! Baby is one year old? Of course you’ll celebrate!
