Looking back at photos she might not think it's a cute tradition. It's a chance to make her feel special with a new dress that's just her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1549165 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 12:39:11 +0000 Kimberlybee 1549165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote new dress because it's her very first birthday! Turning one is such a big milestone for many cultures and deserves a new dress. She can wear that for another occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1549036 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 10:10:51 +0000 Mamasig 1549036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote new dress especially since she wears a lot of hand me downs. Everyone deserves a new outfit for their birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1549010 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 09:21:34 +0000 Smurfette 1549010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote new dress!! I think first bday is a special occasion and LO2 deserves her own special dress, since most of her clothes all are used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1549005 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 09:16:24 +0000 lawbee11 1549005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I vote new dress. Since she wears hand-me-downs a lot I think she deserves a new party dress :) I like this one from Carter's! </p> <p><a href="http://www.carters.com/carters-baby-girl-dresses-dress-sets/V_121C181.html?dwvar_V__121C181_color=Pink#cgid=carters-baby-girl-dresses&#038;startRow=0&#038;sz=all&#038;navID=left&#038;start=27" rel="nofollow">http://www.carters.com/carters-baby-girl-dresses-dress-sets/V_121C181.html?dwvar_V__121C181_color=Pink#cgid=carters-baby-girl-dresses&#038;startRow=0&#038;sz=all&#038;navID=left&#038;start=27</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548992 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 08:59:21 +0000 MamaMagpie 1548992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote new dress :) As a pp said, you could definitely use this dress for another special occasion, and I think the first birthday warrants a brand new dress for each girl. But, I do also think it's sweet that you want to have this tradition...are there other little girls in the family who could wear the Birthday Dress? That might sway me more...PS it's an absolutely adorable dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548984 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 08:27:59 +0000 SAHM0811 1548984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote new dress too! My girls looked a only a little similar during their 1st year, and looking back at pics, I'm surprised I still sometimes have trouble recognizing who's who. </p> <p>I also loved DD1's 1st Bday dress and wanted her to have it as a keepsake in the future, so got a new one for DD2 to do the same as well. </p> <p>Plus, it's not like there is a shortage of cute dresses out there! A huge majority of her clothes are hand-me-downs anyway... I love an excuse to buy her something new and different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548928 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 06:34:28 +0000 looch 1548928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As an adult, I would want at least one article of clothing, so I say new! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548923 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 06:24:22 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1548923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Part of me says new dress for sure because it would make a great keepsake for each little girl.</p> <p>The other part says wearing the same dress is a sweet memory for mom and dad, plus there will be other keepsakes from the party. Each girl will have her own invitation to cherish for instance.</p> <p>The dress could be turned into a keepsake for both. One of the quilts made from pieces of dresses, t-shirts, uniforms, costumes, and blankets through out a child's life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548879 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 00:51:54 +0000 hellocupcake 1548879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it were any other birthday I would say reuse but I think her first birthday should have her own dress. Maybe this dress could be used for Easter or Mother's Day? Or any other special occasion? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548754 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 21:34:52 +0000 Andrea 1548754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first instinct was to say new dress because they do look a lot alike. So looking back, it might be hard to tell if it's DD1 or DD2 via pics. But it would be a cute tradition so I think it would be cool reuse as well if that is what you decide! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548751 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 21:30:36 +0000 yerpie110 1548751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a mom, I say do it! It's super cute and a fun tradition. As the youngest of two children, when I looked back at pictures, I'm sure I'd say to my mom, "geez, couldn't even get me my own first birthday dress??" But bet your lo2 is a lot less sassier than I was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548704 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:39:16 +0000 katsupgirl 1548704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only reason I'd say get a new dress is if your kids look a lot alike. Trying to figure who is who without looking at the dates of pictures is tricky in my fam. My sisters are more than five years apart but look almost identical in pics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548701 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:37:23 +0000 MamaMoose 1548701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That dress is super cute! I would totally use it. My LO wore her baptism dress to her first bday party! I'm a big fan of getting as much use as possible out of clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548685 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:27:58 +0000 autumnlove 1548685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nicoleannette: welcome to HB!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548681 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:24:13 +0000 cmomma17 1548681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's sweet!</p> <p>My poor son is probably not getting a special new outfit for his birthday - the horror! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-for-first-birthday-party#post-1548679 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:22:10 +0000 nicoleannette 1548679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh it's no biggy! I think people put too much pressure on having new clothes for every occasion these days. Back in the day people didn't have the ability to have new outfits as often as we are able to. Keep her in the dress DD1 wore, it's ADORABLE! </p>
