THERE ARE SO MANY IDEAS FOR KID’S PARTIES, IT’S INSANE. I LIKE TO BASE IT ON WHAT MY DAUGHTER LIKES, WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT WILL NOT COST ME A FORTUNE. IT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHAT AGE YOUR CHILD IS AND WHAT TYPE OF PARTY THIS IS FOR.
FOR MY DAUGHTER’S 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY OUR THEME WAS DISNEY PRINCESSES. HER BIRTHDAY IS JUNE 26TH, SO WE HAVE IT EASIER THAN WINTER BIRTHDAYS. WE HAD A BBQ OUT IN OUR BACKYARD. I SET UP TENTS, TABLES AND A GRILL. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF OUR PICS BELOW.
Kayla’s First Birthday!
I SPENT SO MUCH TIME PUTTING THESE LABELS ON THE WATER BOTTLES BUT THEY WERE CUTE. TO DO THIS YOU BUY REGULAR WATER BOTTLES, TAKE THE COMPANY LABEL OFF. PRINT WHATEVER LABEL DESIGN YOU WANT ON REGULAR PRINTER PAPER. THEN YOU WANT TO HAVE CLEAR DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. TAPE THE LABEL TO THE BOTTLE THEN TO WATERPROOF THE LABEL PUT CLEAR TAPE OVER THE LABEL. THEN TA-DAH!! HOWEVER, RECRUITE SOME HELPERS. I HAD 70 PEOPLE AT HER FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY AND I FELT LIKE MY HANDS WERE GOING TO FALL OFF AFTER THE 20TH WATER BOTTLE.
WE ALSO HAD A POOL SET UP FOR THE KIDS. TO EAT WE HAD HAMBURGERS, HOTDOGS, CHIPS AND SALSA, MY MOTHER’S HOMEMADE MAC AND CHEESE AND LOTS OF SIDE DISHES INCLUDING FRUIT AND VEGGIES. WE HAD BUCKETS FILLED WITH SODA, JUICES AND WATER. WE ALSO HAD AN ADULT BUCKET AS WELL. I WAS A PANICKED MOM DURING MOST OF IT, BUT IT TURNED OUT GREAT AND EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME!
