Warm weather is definitely the time to dust off those Summer Party Ideas and have some outdoor fun! Supplies are available in lots of great Summer Party Themes including great summer party decorations for a birthday  or any special summer party! Gather a group of kids and adults around the pool, at the beach, in the park or at the water slides and you’ll have a lot of fun! Add some of these colorful summer party supplies and let the fun begin.

If your kids are lucky enough to have a June, July or August  birthday, you’ll love all these summer party ideas and summer party supplies. Party activities are easy to think of and summer party themes are among the most fun.  One of our favorite summer party ideas is to have the kids decorate their own sand pails or flip flops.  These are just two crafts that can keep the kids busy while they create a perfect take home favor.  Be sure to read our article on how to personalize your own party favors. Personalized sand pails are also available, if you want to order them and fill with a great assortment of small favor gifts or candy.

Don’t forget to select solid color tableware to match your theme. Solid color party supplies in larger plate sizes, both plastic and paper, and are  much cheaper than themed party supplies.  It’s a perfect alternative for mixing and matching with your party theme.

Summer party ideas are a breeze once you’ve got the theme! It’s often much easier to let the summer party ideas flow after you’ve selected your invitations. We think this bright beach summer party theme just begs for friends to come and party. Next you can move on to choosing coordinating summer party supplies and plan some outdoor activities.  If you are going to be at a pool, relay races and other games like that might work, but consider the ages of your guests and that all kids can’t swim.  Plan some out of the pool games like freeze dances, face painting and outdoor relays.

Have a wonderful summer party!

It’s hard to image that it is time for a first birthday party! Where did the year go? The most important parts of any party are the first birthday party theme, invitations, decorations, good, games and activities,  and favors. Below is a list of steps to follow to plan your child’s’ very specials 1st Birthday Party.

First birthday parties are typically a time for family and friends to get together and see how your baby has grown during his first year. Many moms make this a special party to thank everyone for their love and support during your baby’s transition from baby to toddler.

Want to really “Wow” the group? Follow these steps to throw a 1st birthday party that is simply unforgettable!

Theme

With so many special first birthday party themes available, you may have trouble choosing one!  Your theme sets the tone for the party and today’s first birthday party patterns are coordinated with just about any accessory you can image you can imagine from party hats to magic wands.

Here’s a money saving tip: Order solid papergoods for the adults at the party.  They are considerably less expensive and usually are sold in larger packages.

Invitations

You can easily create your own invitations with pictures you’ve taken over the course of your baby’s first year. Upload your photos to the Kodak Photo Gallery where they’ll talk you through every step of the way to create your perfect invitation. If designing your own artwork, isn’t your thing, not to worry!  There are so many fun, original , and personalized invitations for your baby’s first party to choose from.

Decorations

The right decorations turn a good party into a truly, memorable one. Great decorations create a festive atmosphere and are sure to get your guests into the “party mood.” Watch your little girl’s eyes light up when she sees the incredible 45″full color Princess Standees. If she hasn’t walked yet, this will make your  little girl to make her stand up and take notice. Just make sure to have your camera ready to catch the delight in her eyes. The photos are fun to include in your thank you cards.

Little boys might enjoy  Lightning McQueen or a favorite Disney character. After the party, you can put the standee in your child’s nursery or playroom for a cute accent piece.

A Cowboy theme is great.  Add a Western photo shootfor your guests with a bale of hay in front. Make sure to take pictures of your guests! Put them in some western style photo frames and you have a personal and memorable party favor. When planning a party it’s helpful when an item can serve multiple functions and purposes. For just forty dollars or so the photo shoot cutouts serve as a decoration, an activity, and a party favor.  Consider a cowboy hat or bandana as a favor.

Tip Be sure to place a step stool behind the photo cut out for the younger (or shorter) kid’s and have someone available to help behind the scenes!

Games and Activities

No party is complete without a great assortment of games planned. A baby’s first birthday will certainly include your adult family and friends, so make sure that you plan some fun adult activities for them.  We love anything that has to do with music and wiggling, so grab a CD and start them giggling!

Food

The food that you serve at your party should match your theme. If you are having a Cowboy/Cowgirl party include red and white checked tablecloths, with picnic or barbecue fare served in baskets lined with red or blue bandannas. Do you have a little princess that you’d like to honor, then perhaps some simple sandwiches, tea, and yummy desserts arranged on some tiered platters would be appropriate.  Be sure to check with the moms and dads for any food allergies.

If you are also serving adults, we recommend a platter of fruit and something simple.

Favors:

When it comes to favors for little ones, we’re all very cautious. Be sure that the manufacturer warrants the favor for children 3 and under.  Watch for anything with little pieces or long strings. Usually the best gifts are individual cups, toys, or accessories.  We gathered an entire list of first birthday favors here.

A Few More Tips:

Try to keep the party short and simple. Remember this is a day meant for Mom, Dad, and baby to celebrate the coming together of a family. You don’t want to overdo it and up with an over stimulated and possibly cranky one-year old. Try to schedule the party around your baby’s nap times and if possible, keep it to about 2 hours. But most of all remember to stay flexible and don’t sweat the small stuff. This way you will be sure to enjoy this special day with your child, family, and friends.

Themed birthday party supplies are very expensive, especially if you are throwing a large party like a first birthday. A great way to save money is by complimenting your theme with solid color party supplies including dinner plates, napkins, crepe paper, or table covers.

If you are hosting an adult party, complimenting themed paper goods with solids is a great way to make the party less expensive.  For example, the Showtime theme shown at left are mixed with solid paper goods in many ways. Pair a red, green or yellow plates and cups with the themed napkins and dessert plates. There are tons of combinations that are sure to look fabulous. Even better, leftover solid plates and paper cups are used for other occasions.

Using solid color party supplies for kids’ birthday parties is cheaper than themed tableware. Find your child’s favorite theme, then compliment the main colors with solid paper goods. Perhaps the barnyard theme seen at left is your choice; to save money, choose solid party paper supplies in red, blue, green or yellow to mix with your theme. You can even use  solid color party hats.

Today’s plastic coated paper plates and partyware are much more durable than they were and come in an amazing array of colors and shapes including metallics.  You can even use solid plastic tableware if you need something more durable.

Below are some great examples of solid party goods; your biggest problem is choosing which color plates, cups, napkins, tablecloths, forks, knives and spoons you want to buy!
