Create A Special Scrapbook For Your Child's First Birthday

In the eyes of a parent, a child's first birthday is an occasion that should be remembered and preserved for all time. Creating a scrapbook to commemorate your child's first birthday is one of the best ways to accomplish this goal. You can start planning this special scrapbook well in advance of the special day. Begin with planning a theme for the party and start collecting decorations and planning the events several weeks before the actual day. Great themes for a first birthday party include your child's favorite cartoon character, favorite animals and music, and decorating with colorful, cheerful items. You can choose to make handmade decorations or purchase them from a party supply store. You can also find unique and specialized themes at online party supply sites. When the day of the party arrives, keep your camera in hand and take plenty of pictures of your child enjoying his or her special day. Keep party invitations and a guest list so that they can be included in your scrapbook. Party hats and favors, photos, and colorful ribbons and bows taken from presents can be included in your scrapbook and will certainly delight those who view your scrapbook in the years to come. Your child's first birthday will be an event that you want to remember always. Keep a pen and paper handy to write down funny or interesting things that take place at the party so you can include them in your scrapbook. Your child, your child's grandparents, and your child's children will appreciate the effort and time spent on creating a scrapbook devoted to this very special birthday.
