When it comes to planning a first birthday party, many parents go crazy! After all, the celebration of their child's first year marks a milestone for the baby as well as a feeling of accomplishment for many moms and dads.
Choosing a party theme based on the child's favorite activity or character is the ideal way to celebrate a first birthday. This theme should be evident in all parts of the celebration – starting with the invitation and ending with the party favors your guests take home with them.
The guest list for many first birthday parties often includes both family members as well as playmates and friends.
While assembling party favors and goody bags for children can be simple (think crayons, stickers, balls, small toys, etc.), deciding what to send home with the adults who attend the party can be more difficult. After all, a children's book or box of crayons just isn't going to cut it!
Candy bars wrapped in personalized candy wrappers can be an ideal party favor for anyone – regardless of age.
Wrappers are available for full-sized candy bars as well as miniature bars. Decorations vary and include first birthday classics such as Elmo, Cookie Monster, monkeys, animals, cupcakes and balloons.
In addition to serving as a tasty, take-home treat, these favors can be printed with a personalized message thanking guests for celebrating with you.
