Baby Bash – That One Important Birthday
Birthdays signify our arrival in the world and the celebration of it is significant. Especially so for our precious baby. Here are some guides to get that baby bash on the move and be the gossip of baby land for a while.
One, preparing for the baby bash is very important! Make a theme that you would like to follow. Would you like your baby bash to be a sci-fi adventure? Or would you want your baby bash to be a costume party? Or rent even an amusement park perfect with the merry-go-round and a clown or two.
Whatever you consider, the baby bash needs to be well-thought of to keep it organized as well as the safety of the guests can be assured.
The baby bash depends on the age of the baby. For one year olds, clowns would do so that he or she can facilitate the party because the most important guests would be the little children. Magic shows and puppetry would be sufficient to keep the children interested and contented.
While for two years old and older, since by this time, they are already mobile and have learned to walk, a costume party or an amusement park theme would be the answer to keep the kids cheerful. Balloons to keep them preoccupied, cotton candy to keep them busy and heaps and heaps of kiddie food.
Second, sending out the invites. It seems that babies are conversational pieces. Hence, your group of friends grows since you gather other moms and dads who have babies near your baby’s age group.
They can become your buddies, swapping babysitting time when you want to loosen and relax. Their kids are your guests in the baby bash and not the parents. Thus, the baby bash must be geared towards the kid’s enjoyment.
Third, preparing the food. Since this is a kiddie party, finger foods should comprise most of your menu. Kids easily tire of food and so small portions must be served at them. If feasible, separate the food of the parents with the kids, if the parents were invited.
Sometimes, a baby bash becomes an adult get-together when there are no other babies that could be invited.
Whatever you have decided what the baby bash must be like, keep in mind that the baby’s comfort is more important. Sometimes, there are babies who are scared of clowns. You must have an alternative activity in mind in case this happens.
Fourth, post baby bash activities. After all the food, the favors and trimmings gone, it is time to clean up. The most convenient way to finish all the food left is to ask mothers to take home a portion of the food served. This not only minimizes food spoilage, it would also keep the kids busy during the drive home, in case they start asking for food.
The baby bash should not be a tough and nerve-racking activity that moms would rather not plan for. It should be a fun and enjoyable event for the parents too.
