      It's been long since we had a formal parry of sorts. We are really looking forward to host one such party for our family and friends. So, home is not an option - we want to do it fancy ;)

    You can always go to PRESSCLUB (Flinders Street; Parliament; Jolimont)

    However, I would recommend to arrange it at your house. Use front yarn as children theme area and inside for sitting.

    You can always have lovely food but when you look back in photographs at the special day theme matters.

    Make an amazing theme like "Baby Game of Thrones" or "Zooventure" and contrast it with different food and cake.

    Good luck.

      Thanks for yoursuggestion . The contrasting colour is a good idea.

    Formal party isn't for your baby, which it should be…
    Agree with previous comments, at home where your kid is comfortable. BBQ, fairy bread, Wiggles playing in the background.

    It's all you need

    Save your money! Your baby isn't going to care if you have a small gathering at home. Wait until they are older and appreciate it.

    as with everyone. do it at home. bbq. play kids songs from hi5, wiggles, peppa pig.

    have the kids attending the party play games for prizes.

    If you don't have many other kids attending and its mostly adults, have it at a fun location (beach, restaurant etc.) If you do it during the day they'll fall asleep after to commotion anyway.

    If lots of other babies attending, for the love of god do the party first thing in the morning or late lunch to work around the kids that do two naps a day still.

    So does your baby have friends? How many?

    • SwTester on 02/05/2017 - 20:09

      No. It's more for parents satisfaction

  • try2bhelpful on 29/04/2017 - 12:37

    This time of year is a bit dodgy weatherwise, otherwise a barbeque at the park would be a good idea. Give other kids a playground and somewhere to run around and parents can take turns at "lifeguard" duty. The baby will remember virtually nothing of this so it should be designed around adults and older children. You only do the formal thing if you want bragging rights.

    • SwTester on 02/05/2017 - 20:10

      And yes. More so for the bragging purposes

      • try2bhelpful on 03/05/2017 - 08:19

        Not that there is anything wrong with that :)

    1. Have a theme
    2. Choose your colours and styles - helps with the invitations, thank you cards etc.
    3. Let the food match with the theme. If the theme is 'twinkle twinkle little star', there can be stars in the cupcakes and star shaped cookies etc.
    4. Have a chalk board with your baby's achievements
    5. Keep a guest book for people to write
    6. Make sure that your baby is in comfortable clothes
    7. Take lots of pictures
    8. Enjoy and have fun

    Also, I'm guessing that your friends also got children. If that is the case, do something to occupy the children with games or activities if you are planning the party at home. Else your TV other electronics might be at risk.

      Valuable information. Thank you so much.
