Where has that first year gone? Does it seem like yesterday you were bringing home a tiny bundle to your family? We have a little boy and girl and it does for us, and they are now 4 and 2!

Such an important occasion is a great reason for a party, lots of family and friends will want to be there with the camera and help celebrate. Definately one for the album as your baby probably won't remember much, and it is lovely to look back with them when they do understand.

When you are choosing your party venue your child will probably be happiest at home or surrounded by familiar things so having your party at your house is a good choice. We had our son's 1st birthday at his Nana and Poppas and our daughter's 1st birthday party at home. Both enjoyed their parties even if they did need some help opening the presents!

We have put together ideas from our own, our friends and as an event manager our customer's 1st birthday parties for your first birthday cake, invitations, party themes, games, gifts and outfits.

All our party ideas are tried and tested on one year olds!
