I found it on hostess with the mostess blog - so many cute pics on there to be inspired by!</p> <p>@rachiecakes: Decorating cookies - what a great idea! I would say that most of the 1 or 2 year bday parties I've been to haven't had activities. I'm just not a person who is good at small talk and I always find it a little bit painful to try to make conversation with multiple people so I don't seem rude for just talking to DH the whole time :) so I'm trying to save friends and family who last saw each other at my baby shower from that fate, ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities-help#post-403197 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:49:29 +0000 Mrsbells 403197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: Love your theme </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities-help#post-403193 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:47:07 +0000 rachiecakes 403193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>or decorating cupcakes or cookies? that's pretty fun for kids of all ages </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities-help#post-403192 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:46:07 +0000 rachiecakes 403192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: DS's first birthday is a month from tomorrow - eeek! we're doing winter one-derland as well, the invites were so cute :) </p> <p>I didn't plan any activities.. uh-oh!<br /> what about making a photo ornament? you could get some cute ornament photo frames or even the snowglobe frames at a craft store pretty cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities-help#post-403173 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:31:28 +0000 shellio 403173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's first birthday is coming up in just a month, and I am working on his party. Unfortunately we have about 50 adults on the guest list, expecting around 35, and around 20 kids, most in the 0-3 age range! I was wondering if anyone has activity ideas? We are in Colorado, so being outside is unlikely to be a possibility, and I want to keep from making everyone wander aimlessly between the two large entertaining areas in my house where I hope to corral the guests :) </p> <p>Here are a couple of my thoughts:<br /> -photo booth<br /> -Wii (I guess mostly for the adults and a couple of older kids)<br /> -some sort of game?<br /> -guest book for people to sign and maybe write a message to DS? I hate writing messages to babies at showers/parties though.<br /> -some sort of craft that the toddlers might like, or that at least the parents could get a laugh out of?</p> <p>The theme I picked out is Winter "One"derland.</p> <p>I would love any advice at all about the party, and I know there are a few other bees with upcoming first birthday parties to plan! Thanks! </p>
