You really believe it is very important to celebrate the 1st. Year of your baby ?. For many it is a great event and the preparations go back months, they do everything very carefully and avoid forgetting any detail in the Great Celebration.
Here comes the question, Do we celebrate the baby, or the parents and the family? Because many times and almost always, the birthday boy or the celebrant does not find out about the party, for them it is just a day with a lot of noise, uproar, and if he is used to being in peace and quiet, he will spend the whole party crying, made in his honor, and sometimes asleep. Will it be worth so much expense, time and sacrifice for some parents, to have a party in honor of someone, who is not yet able to recognize their own tribute and who, on the contrary, cannot see the time that ends and vacate their house?
Many mothers will think that yes, that the memory remains for when the baby grows up, but this breaks any criteria about celebrating birthday parties, because we well know that they are so that the honoree feels good and above all so that the "enjoyment".
Today there are many parents who still have the illusion of celebrating the baby's first year, and throw the house out the window, and thus infect the whole family; However, there are other parents who prefer to spend that day just sharing it with their first-born, taking him for a walk, to the countryside, the sea, or to places where he feels very comfortable, an afternoon of rides could be, or any place where the baby can feel comfortable sharing that day with his parents.
Many parents today consider a celebration more prudent for their children from the age of 5, which is when they have the greatest reason and awareness of what a birthday party is, and that they are the honored ones, and therefore that day should be very special. They hire games, magicians, puppets, clowns, who make the birthday boy feel like one and can recognize that everything is done for him and for him, and make him feel like…. THE KING OF THE PARTY …… What do you think?
Personally, I consider that a child cannot enjoy celebrating their first birthday, it is almost certain that they will be stunned, tired and even annoyed to see so many people together, so much noise and running around. However, by experience, I think that you can have a children's party, why not do it? The preparations, however simple they may be, inject into the parents an illusion very similar to the one they have during the preparations that are carried out while waiting for the baby. Do you remember those moments? Certainly, those who will enjoy the party will be the guests, and without a doubt the parents will feel very satisfied, perhaps very proud, but the most important thing will always be the happiness that will overwhelm us, each time our children reach one more year of life. . At home we celebrated our son's first year, it was the best!… But so far my back hurts hahahahaha
It is true that one year old babies do not know what is happening around them for this event that is so special. Despite this, I consider that a birthday toast is due since it is the first anniversary of the life of our being so special to be celebrated with honors.
The important thing is to make a reception where the baby feels comfortable and calm, a place where it is enabled for the occasion and with many reasons that make the baby curious. The music should not be so loud as that would disturb you. But with a good animation of clowns or harlequins it will be a lot of fun.
My baby is about to turn his first birthday and it is a little party that we have planned, where his cousins and friends will attend to pay him the most awaited tribute by all.
With great enthusiasm we have planned this event and with a lot of time involved, expenses feel less when you separate things with time and share expenses in monthly installments. I assume that the fundamental factor is the organization.
For that great day I will have the support of family members to distribute the snacks, food, candy, sodas, among others; like taking care of the baby.
For now we are all excited and with the illusion that everything is special on that beautiful day.
I agree with all of them! But the other day I was making some inquiries to celebrate my daughter's birthday, which is going to happen soon and I have not been worried because I don't know if I do it to please people or to please my daughter. As I am not going to bring clowns or magicians or recreationists, I am only going to play chord music and some children's videos !!! I am terrified that some child does not like the reunion and says: MOM, LET'S GO THIS PARTY IS BORING… It's just a small celebration. And then it is not that I can spend a lot on it. Thanks for everything said on this page.
I TOTALLY AGREE, FOR THE BEST EXPENDITURE THAT SHOULD BE MADE TO OUR CHILDREN TO HOMAGE THEM IS TO INVEST IN THEIR EDUCATION BY INCUTAINING THEIR VALUES AND THE TRUTH IS THAT WE STRIVE SO THAT THE GUESTS ARE SATISFIED AND THE LOGGING IS NOT FOUND
I think the same Luana Do Santo, those parties are for adults not for the baby, I am with the same dilemma, but I am not going to party, I better take him to enjoy a place where I know he will feel comfortable and happy, I do not care what people think.
There is no no no even that children do not believe it if they perceive what happens to their surroundings. A little party, no matter how small, it requires spending but what you do is their first year of life. Also when this big my baby will have the joy of telling him If you celebrate your first birthday, it feels good when the parents tell us that they celebrated our year.
Me, if I want a party for Fabiana, it's her first birthday. They did not celebrate anything for me, it is very important that she socialize, that she make friends, even if then she goes to the nest, it is only a few hours, how long the show lasts, she is the star, even if there are boys and girls. It is a sharing between friends and girlfriends. Why not celebrate it? Of course, I share that you should not spend a lot, but within the possibilities.
I love you my love!
Well, I also think that the baby's first birthday should be something very simple, prepare something special to eat, give him a very nice and interesting toy that he likes, take him to a zoo or an amusement park and show all his love towards him \ her. And so that parents also enjoy that day, at dusk, offer a champagne for their beautiful family and the beautiful baby they have, and have a very romantic night 😀 if possible ... And for the rest of family and friends, invite them another day to drink something and eat something very simple but delicious, to see the little one and give him a gift. I think this could be the perfect birthday for any one year old. Maybe he will not remember anything, but surely it will feel good not only him, but also the whole family. Aaa and I forget…. Take a lot of photos of the good times 🙂
Thank you all for your comments 🙂
