I'd say a cake and photos taken of her with her cake/family guests or video of everyone singing happy birthday would be good so she can look back on it. I forgot to vote but goodie bad for kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916093 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:09:01 +0000 LulaBee 916093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD will be one next month, and we are doing a smash cake for sure! I don't really think it's necessary after age 1 though... and always, singing happy birthday is a must. We've been singing it to DD to get her ready. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916074 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:05:16 +0000 Adira 916074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the only must-haves are Singing Happy Birthday, though goodie-bags for the kids would be nice. Everything else is just fluff. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916068 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:04:36 +0000 Honeybee 916068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just said balloons and singing happy birthday. I didn't even buy balloons for DS's first birthday; DD and I just made him some out of construction paper. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916062 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:03:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 916062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for # candle, smash cake, and Happy Birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916050 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:01:17 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 916050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only ones we had were:<br /> Smash cake<br /> Balloons<br /> Singing Happy Birthday</p> <p>That's it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916049 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:01:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 916049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smash cake and sing HBD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916047 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:00:50 +0000 mediagirl 916047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As things you NEED? Singing happy birthday! For things you don't NEED but would make a party fun? Singing happy birthday and balloons. Don't overthink it or stress out about overdoing it. No one will remember goodie bags, signs or photos or hats afterwards. :)</p> <p>PS. Seriously? She's going to be ONE already? Impossible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916040 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:59:06 +0000 MrsTiz 916040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for:</p> <p>-Singing the Happy B-Day song<br /> -Balloons<br /> -Number shaped candle - hello photo op :)<br /> -Photo slideshow (not necessary but cute! Maybe printed pictures?)<br /> -Goodie bags for kids, but i'm thinking that just a treat for them is a-ok!</p> <p>Truly the only thing necessary is LO and friends/family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916034 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:58:20 +0000 regberadaisy 916034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted a #1 for the cake, singing happy birthday and "goodie bags" for the kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-elements-of-a-childs-birthday-party-do-you-think-are-must-haves#post-916031 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:57:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 916031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LMW's first birthday party is this Saturday (eeeep!) and there are so many things I'm not doing. I don't know why! For instance, I just realized that I don't have a "happy birthday" banner, while that was one of the only custom things I ordered for Wagon Jr.'s first birthday party! I have several other decorative banners, but none that actually spell out Happy Birthday. </p>
