Do you have someone celebrating their 1st birthday soon?  
Here’s some ideas to help you with your party planning:

- Get a white cotton table cloth and have the guests sign it, then reuse it every year.

- Get everything else in paper so you can throw it all away and not have a lot of dishes to wash.

- Assign someone else (or maybe two people) to take pictures so you get plenty, get to be in them, and can focus on what’s happening.

- Requests that gifts be the giver's favorite childhood book with a handwritten dedication.  Laminate a picture of the giver and attach it to the inside front cover of the book for your child to see each time they read the book.

- If you are planning to use 1 year old pictures as decor, on invitations, or thank you notes, schedule your session at least two weeks before the party.
