Daughters First Birthday Party!!

Hi A.,

www.rhinestone.com has incredible tiara's at wholesale prices.... verrrry cheap. They also have a rhinestone star wand.

Personally, unless you were planning on using a mulitude of cloth tablecloths on a regular basis, I would go to a Grand Rental Station or another party rent all place and find out who will give you the best deal. No muss no fuss no cleaning or storage. Good Luck and please remember that nothing is more improtant than enjoying the day.

I needed tulle for something (can't remember what) and found that a large quantity is not cheap. Wait for a 40% off coupon for Joann's Fabrics in the Sunday coupon sections. Watch for it to go on sale, shouldnt be long with June as wedding month and buy it then with the coupon. Or just the coupon :o).

No one has nicer balloons cheaper than www.orientaltrading.com and they ship OHMY fast.

Go to a Party USA or Party America they have a lot of cool themed stuff. As for the tule just go to a fabric store. Cloth table cloths, I suggest vinyl or, if you absoultly want cloth go to Big Lots or Walmart you can always find a deal at those places. I agree with the other mom though don't go to far overboard she wont remember a thing and she will only be interested in the cake. Good luck! P.S. since you have some time still just Google the Royle theme and you will be a lot of hits to choose from.

Wow- sounds funs. Check out your local dollar store mine has 6 balloons for $1 and lots of table clothes etc (you never know what you might find or not, so definatley don't wait to the last minute and expect to just walk in and pick something up).

Wow a nice party, I would try a dollar store for the ess, and I would try Micheals for the tiara, they have great looking one.

Hi A.,

The way your going it's already costly LOL! and she deserves it.

As far as cheap cloth table cloths Sams Club has them where their catering stuff is. Dye them pink and apply glitter glue all over them. For balloons I find them cheaper at Hallmark for $.50.

Suggestion: I make my own invites and will do this for my daughter's 2nd birthday ( She just had her 1st this month)and I would think this would be perfect for yours. Take her photo when she's almost 2 and make post card that look like a movie poster from it. For the title it would be "Your daughter's name 2" "...the saga continues" and for the credits you can list the party activities.

Have you thought about maybe lookin on ebay...they tend to having everything and anything and you can get alot of stuff for really cheap so maybe try there....Thats where I got some of my sons stuff for his 2nd birthday party....

Actually, my advice is to not overplan or over decorate because the only thing she will be interested in is getting cake all over her face and if you are lucky maybe she will open a present or two on her own. The party that you are planning sounds more like a four year olds. All that said, if it doesn't stress you or her, have fun!!!!

Hi there- my daughter is also having her first birthday in June. I think your ideas are great. Definately a little more fancy than what I'm planning. There is a party decoration place in Brighton next to staples/Home depot in town that is pretty reasonable. It was once called Great Party- they may have changed the name. I was just there and they have the tiaras that your talking about,tule and all of that fun stuff. They have a great balloon selection and again are pretty reasonable.
We are just going to have ours at the park and I'm thinking about just having a ton of balloons, a ball bounce for the little ones and maybe doing a clown type theme. My daughter really likes Dora and clowns, but I'm not sure that I want to do a character. There will be many years to come when she'll want a character party.
Anyway- good luck. It sounds like a great party. I know everyone says to not over do it for the first party, but that's the party that everyone comes to so you want to make it very special.

go to orientaltrading.com

look for 1st birthdy party themes in the search box

They have great prices!! Often have free shipping too.

Sounds like a wonderful idea! You can get beautiful tiara's (wedding quailty, in flower-girl sizes) on ebay for great prices. It's where I got mine for my wedding.

Have fun!!

I would try a dollar store. My son turned one in Jan. and that is were I got most of my decorations and even some games.

Some dollars stores have great stuff.
