Photo Charm Bracelet To Celebrate Baby's 1st Birthday
What better gift for Mom on baby's 1st birthday than a photo charm bracelet? Here are some ideas for the party.
A baby's first birthday is a very special occasion and giving a party that features a photo charm bracelet will add to the festivities. The first year of a child's life is filled with unforgettable milestones. It is one of the most awe-filled years in human life for both parents and child. Starting with the birth,
it's a miraculous experience for the new mom and dad to go from being a couple to a family. What starts with a rounded belly ends of with a tiny perfect replica of either parent or a combination of both. Their lives will never be the same and they'll be surprised how much they will fall in love with a teeny 7 or 8 pounder. By the time a year has passed, the new family will have gone on an incredible journey together. First smiles, words, steps, teeth and the emergence of a delightful little personality from their offspring will all have occurred by the time this momentous birthday party occurs. Here are some ideas:
- Party guests: Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends will be on the invitation list if everyone lives close enough. If not, sending them an invitation will still be a good idea and then following it up with photographs from the shindig afterward.
- Food to serve: It might be wise to hold the gala in the morning as a brunch, especially if Baby has settled into just one afternoon nap. This will allow the guest of honor to be rested and in a good mood during the festivities. Have easy to serve buffet brunch fare such as fruit salads, egg and cheese casseroles, muffins, coffee and of course - cake! The cake can be frosted in pink or blue and have figurines of favorite animals or movie characters on top. Tinker Bell or the cast of Blues' Clues anyone?
- Favors: Balloons, clear baby bottles filled with jelly beans, Sleepytime herbal tea, small bouquets of daisies or carnations tied with blue or pink ribbons, small dolls or matchbox cars can be attractive and fun souvenirs for the guests.
- Photo charm bracelet: The bracelet could be golden or silver and have an array of memorabilia dangling in charm form. Tiny silver booties and baby bottles, framed photos of the tot as a newborn and crawler, his or her footprint and even the birth certificate are all fun accessories. Important documents such as the birth certificate can be made into a miniature size perfect for framing into a charm. A copy of the 1st birthday party invitation can be a wonderful addition to the heirloom, too. Mommy will be so thrilled to wear this treasured bracelet with her darling youngster's photos and memorabilia adorning it.
Having a new infant is a miraculous occasion and the first year that follows is absolutely awesome. Celebrating the event with a party and giving Mommy a photo charm bracelet will create a momentous occasion and one of the best days of life. All the guests will "oooh and ah" and want to find out where they can get their own cool heirloom jewelry to commemorate their special occasions.
