As your baby grows up, Halloween will fast come to be one of his or her favorite times of year - this is doubly so with a baby born on or near Halloween. Start the tradition off right with a blow-out Halloween birthday party for year whole one!
Go For Spooky Instead of Scary
Halloween Decorations
Of course Halloween is the time for witches and werewolves, ghosts, ghouls and goblins, but it's also a fun time, with trick-or-treating and dressing up. Focus on the fun and cartoonish aspects of the holiday when planning your baby's first Halloween birthday party. Later on, your child can grow into the scarier aspects of the holiday.
Your first step will be selecting Halloween birthday party invitations. Make sure to select a business that uses top quality, 80lb. White linen paper, and if recycled paper is a priority for you, ask if they can make substitutions. Find out turnaround time and what the course is for providing you proofs, so you can check accuracy.
As for design, you'll need to determine if you want the emphasis to be more on the Halloween aspects of the party, or if the focus is on baby's first birthday party with a Halloween theme. That will help you narrow down your institute choices. Your best bet is to find a business or printer that lets you customize much of the invitation; then you can find just the right balance in the middle of birthday invitations and Halloween party invitations.
Beyond Orange & Black
Yes, you'll have orange and black streamers, maybe cobwebs and goofy rubber spiders, and some bowls of water with dry ice in them, but when baby's first Halloween is combined with baby's first birthday, your options are little only by your imagination. You'll want to stay away from candles if there are a lot of little guests, but a blacklight in the bathroom or tantalizing green or orange lights set the tone for very little money.
Candy loaded up in plastic pumpkins is a given, but remember you'll have two separate groups you'll be feeding: small children as well as adults. Decorate your table with orange carrot sticks or mandarin slices tossed with blackberries. Talk to your local deli, and see if they can make a fruit or jellied mold in the shape of a pumpkin. Everyone loves a cake for baby's first birthday, but small children are probably best at handling cookies than a fork and plate.
A delightful aggregate of your child's first birthday party with all the fun of their first Halloween gives you lots of leeway in planning and decorating a fabulous party.
