It's your baby's first birthday! This time marks the end of an extraordinary first year and of course, you want to create a magical and unforgettable party. To help you plan an extra-special event, we've got tips on baby birthday theme ideas, supplies such as party ware and decorations, food and cakes, safety and even games and activities, some of which could also work at a baby shower. We also have mom-tested advice on whom to invite, when to schedule the party and for how long, and how to beat party stress so that everyone (including baby) has a great time. The bottom line? Keep it simple with baby-centric activities and a small group of close family, friends and play-group buddies. There will be plenty of time in later years for circus clowns, face painters, ponies and caterers!
