PLANNING MY BABY’S 1st BDAY 🍓🍓 (on a budget) DAY

Should I have started with the invitations? Yes probably 😂, but I was at TJ Maxx getting shades for my car windows (it is getting HOT here) and I saw some strawberry stuff and got so excited so I just went again and started my party shopping!!!

We were considering a few different themes (it was so hard to choose, they were all sooo cute) but we ended ended going with B’s Berry First Birthday 🍓🍓🍓!! She was born at the beginning of summer so I think it will be the perfect time of year for that theme, plus we can take her to the strawberry patch for the first time to have her pick her own strawberries for her party 🥹😭.

... Read morePlanning a baby’s first birthday on a budget can be both fun and rewarding. This is your chance to be creative and resourceful without breaking the bank. Start with selecting a theme that resonates with you and your family. Since you're doing a strawberry theme, consider incorporating homemade decorations and DIY crafts. Pine for a special moment? Organize activities like berry-picking at a local farm, which is not only cost-effective but also an amazing experience for your little one, making memories that will last a lifetime. Additionally, think about personalized touches, such as handmade invitations or a guest book where family and friends can leave messages for your baby to cherish as they grow. Utilize online resources for party planning checklists and budgeting templates. Don’t overlook Pinterest for inspiration; it can offer countless ideas for simple yet delightful party favors, games, and food that align with your theme. Lastly, remember that your child will appreciate the love and thoughtfulness you put into their special day more than any lavish display. Embrace the chaos and celebrate the joy of motherhood by creating an event that reflects your family's unique story!
