Baby's First Halloween Birthday - Party Favors & Other Ideas


Children live for birthday parties and Halloween, so it's all the more special for a child born on or around October 31. Your baby's first Halloween birthday party can be a delight for you, your baby and your guests, both kids and adults.

Trick Or Treat? Treats, Of Course!

Party favors or goodie bags for Halloween birthday parties are especially easy to put together. First off, all the favors can go in miniature trick-or-treat bags or plastic jack o' lanterns. Miniature candy bars and chocolate kisses will delight any child, but think bigger for your adult guests. Personalized candy bar wrappers on standard-sized chocolate bars are an excellent way to treat the grown ups with a reminder of your baby's first birthday. Photo key chains and travel-sized candle tins are also great ideas for party favors that are appropriate for adult guests. 

No matter what type of party favors you choose, you'll want your guests to remember your baby's first Halloween birthday fondly. An easy way to turn favor bags into keepsakes is with customized birthday labels or favor tags. Ideally, you should try to order your labels and/or favor tags at the same time and from the same company you order your invitations.  This way, you can get a matching or complementary design and coordinate the look and feel of baby's first Halloween birthday party.

Party-time is Game-time

A wealth of Halloween and birthday entertainment is available for baby's first Halloween birthday party. "Guess the number of candy corns in the jar" is a popular favorite, and the winner gets the jar of candy corn (or chocolate kisses or jelly beans). Of course, bobbing for apples has been popular in the U.S. since colonial times. Asking your guests to come dressed in costume is not only an ice-breaker, it's a great excuse for a costume contest. Pumpkin decorating, using markers and decorations instead of knives, will keep everyone busy and entertained. Of course, at the end of the party (or at the beginning), all the little ones can be assembled for a group trick-or-treat excursion. 

Baby's first Halloween birthday is a great excuse to bring all your friends and family together, as well as a great opportunity to entertain both adults and children alike. Remember, a well-planned party means you'll have a great time too, and a happy host makes a happy party!

First Birthday Party Ideas


The first birthday party of a child is very significant to parents, family and friends. For first time parents, the occasion is especially auspicious because it is the first for them to hold for a child of their own. There is no doubt that the party will bring a lot of emotion to many as they watch what they perceive to be as a milestone. Therefore, first birthday party ideas are very necessary. They will inspire and inform all parents and guardians about the possibilities that are available to make the birthday party a success. The first thing you are required to do is to relax and know that all you need is available. You will find the following tips on first birthday party ideas helpful.

Firstly, as you think and search for first birthday ideas, know that the party needs to be short. This is because the guest of honor needs some time to take a nap. The party can last for a maximum of 2 hours and the baby needs to be given room so that they do not become cranky. Schedule the party on the weekend so that it can be a more relaxed time for you. When thinking about guests to invite, the majority of people will be adults. If you want to have other babies, have a maximum of 5 and they should have their parents around to cater for them. Do not invite a large number of guests who you cannot manage. Your plate will already be full from looking after the birthday baby.

First birthday party ideas for food include finger foods. You do not have to make meals for the babies and you can concentrate on the adults. Take into consideration food allergies so that you can offer your guests wholesome meals. You need to be very flexible and expect anything where children are concerned. Be on guard with first aid gadgets for any accident that may occur. So that you can enjoy the first birthday party for your child, get help from a relative who will help you look after the baby when you have other things to attend to. For the children present at the party, keep a lot of toys to keep them busy and occupied. You can also make a healthy first birthday party cake. This means that you can have a cake that has substitutes for eggs because it might not be healthy to introduce whole eggs to your baby at this point.

Other first birthday party ideas for a healthier cake are that you can have healthier cake flavors. They can be derived from fruits like bananas, apples, carrots and many more. The cake will definitely have less sugar and this is healthy choice. Also, you will get to learn about homemade whipped cream which will also give your baby that healthy start in life. The above tips will help you know a few basic ideas that should be considered when planning a first birthday party. The next thing you consider is the theme, invitations, decorations, party favors, activities and others.
