Thursday, March 11, 2010First Birthday Fun
Planning a first birthday celebration is quite different than planning older childrens' birthday parties. The focus in this party needs to be adjusted to coordinate with your guest list.
Mostly Adults
If your party is mostly adults and a few toddlers, you may choose to keep the party more sophisticated with adult food favorites and beverages. Your decorations could lean more elegant than playful. Create a children's island for your youngest guests. Set up a toddler-safe play area, and have age-appropriate treats and activities ready. The end result could be a refreshing adult mixer, which is also child-friendly.
Mostly Young Families
If your guest list will include many children of varying ages, your party could be focused on their entertainment. Your one-year-old will be too young for the activities, but he will greatly enjoy watching the older children play games. You only need one game and a craft project. The focus of the party can still be conversation and relaxation. Providing a children's play area with coloring pages, toys and toddler munchies will allow the parents to mingle. You may want to set up an older children's area, too, with age-appropriate games and toys.
What will make the party best for you and your birthday baby?
- Plan the party for your baby's best time of day. Never have a child's party at nap time. Fuses are short then.
- One-year-old children do not play in groups yet. Allow your baby to spend much of the party on your hip, observing the crowd.
- Plan foods and a beverage counter that do not require maintenance during the party. If the snacks or beverages will need replenishing during the party, ask a sister, niece or aunt to monitor the refills.
- Be ready for a mess. There will be one. Have clean up supplies handy.
- Ask a relative to make a list of gifts as you open them.
- Enjoy! It's YOUR party. Don't worry if your baby hides his head from Aunt Millie, wants to play with the box instead of the gift, or refuses to touch the cake. So goes parenthood.

Do you know that feeling when you have a newborn baby in your arms? The smell? The feel of their tiny body and tiny noises? Like most women, this feeling melts me. Capture that feeling in your baby shower by using a Mother's Love theme at your shower.

Friday, February 12, 2010No Lame Announcements for your Graduate!
Don't even consider ordering those lame graduation announcements from that school flyer! For less money, you can get more fun and excitement with Naptime Graduation Invitations. PLUS we can include all the information you need on that one card so you don't have to add an insert. There is plenty of room for your party information, college attending, or even a favorite quote. Imagine that. Your graduation announcements say what you want!
Since most schools only allow a few family members per graduate, you are probably not able to invite all your friends and relatives to the commencement ceremonies. You can manage this confusion easily by not including the commencement date and time on your annoucnements. The only date and time you want to include on your invitations is to the event you are inviting them to... your open house, picnic or party. 
Choose a photo invitation design to even include the photo with no
hassle. Ordering from Naptime Productions provides you an easy way to get your cards just the way you want. Take a look at our custom cards today!

Monday, January 25, 2010First Communion Invitations
A child's first communion is a special occasion for the family. A milestone for the child, an important rite at church, and an opportunity for family to come together and make some new memories. This new design was inspired by the lovely Willow collectibles. 
This trendy new striped design is fashioned after today's lively and patterned clothing designs. Available in blue or pink/orange for a bold look.
If you are extending this celebration beyond your immediate family and having a celebration with friends and extended family, you may choose to send a personalized invitation that will express your joy. A photo communion invitation is a great way to make your child feel important, remember the occasion, and get your family excited to join you for this special day.
