Your little one probably won’t have much of a social life yet so don’t worry about throwing an extravagant party or inviting lots of guests! ‘Your baby’s first birthday is a wonderful opportunity to bring together family, but it’s a great way to meet up with other parents you’ve met at coffee groups, NCT meetings or mum and baby classes, too,’ says the owner of Dreamcatcher Parties. ‘Your baby might enjoy some gentle music, but avoid party poppers and balloons that could be too noisy. Make sure you bear in mind your baby’s nap times too so she won’t miss out on all the fun!’
