Checklist: Planning Baby's First Birthday Party
___ What's your budget? Be sure to give yourself some wiggle room for unexpected costs - you know they always pop up last-minute.
___ Where will you have it? It's almost always cheaper and easier to have people over your house, unless you don't have the space.
___ How many people do you need to invite? (Remember wedding guest list hell? You may need to negotiate to keep the numbers down here, too).
___ How many kids/babies will there be? Babies don't need a ton of entertainment, but you'll want to have fun games and crafts planned for toddlers and older kids attending.
___ Invitations: Will you send out formal ones, shoot your guests an email or just let everyone know over the phone?
___ Will you have a theme or color scheme? This can also help you figure out food, decorations, cake and favors.

Ya i def. like the video montage idea so good for looking back years later. I especially like this one my friend had done of her daughter. It was done by Khinkson Media. Just google Khinkson it's the Malea Video. I think were gonna one of our daughter's first year.

It had a storyline showing the baby grow up from a newborn to the first tooth, first smile, first crawl and it had music with special effects and a personalized Happy Birthday song. It was done professionally by Smiling Snaps and was so touching! I am doing the same for my kid's upcoming birthday and keep the DVD as a keepsake for my son to see when he grows up!
