If you are going to conduct your First Born's First Birthday you will have a lot of confusions,
doubts & tensions. No worry. Please read these ideas given below.
Please note that all these mentioned below are purely my personal idea and suggestions
based on our experiences. So please contact us for any clarification.
1. Always plan your event in advance. Get suggestions from many and take the good ideas.
You should have the basic idea of how the party is going to be. Then we will help you to develop it.
2. Plan your Budget. This is very important. Set budgets for Food, Decorations,
Photography, Entertainments, Dress for baby and you, Return gifts.etc.
3. Make A List - List of guests to be invited. List of things needed for the party
even the small items. ( Remember to add a matchbox / lighter also)
4. Select a Venue. Plan your venue based on your budget and easy reachable for guests.
Your home and an open terrace also is a good idea for cost cutting. In this case get
a cook to cook for the guests.
5. Find out some good decorators. Those professionals will make the event special.
Do not go for packages. You will never know what are included in the package. So be specific on what you need. Creative Event Organizers will give you a list of services so that you can choose any items based on your budget and need. Your baby is special like you. So you need something special.!
6. Plan for a theme. That wouldn't cost you anything extra. Either it can be
a cartoon / situation theme or a color combination as theme. That will look so special. If you like all colors..then Go for Rainbow theme.!
7. If you need Invitation Cards make them based on the theme. It must be simple.
But very childish in style. Always keep some cards for your album.
8. Cloths for the party - Find some simple but rich looking dress based on your theme.
The dress need not to be very costly. But baby should feel comfortable. Look for some pins, tags or some sharp edges inside of the dress that may irritate your baby. It may be a good idea to buy many colorful dresses for your baby instead of one single costly dress. Because your baby would look colorful throughout the event.
Also make sure that if you happened to be sweating ( in AC hall also some do )
your dress should not show that you are wet and that would look funny in the photos.
9. Photography & Video graph - Hire a creative experienced photographer for the event.
If your budget is exceeding go for photography only.
Make your baby to sleep before the party. Feed him then bring your kid early with
different styles of dress and take many photos before cake cutting. So your album would look colorful.
Getting one of the photos framed for your wall also is a good idea.
Remember to carry many tissues / towels with you and keep on wiping
your face throughout the photo session. Wet face wouldn't look nice in any photos.
10. Return Gifts - Get some gifts for those kids arrive. Gifts should be
something useful for them. Plan based on their age group. Need not be very costly but not cheaper too. May a collection of many items also advisable.
11. Entertainments - Whatever early you plan your party the average
timing of cake cutting is between 7:30 pm to 8pm.! Some of your important guests will get jammed in the traffic..! Then how about those guests who is waiting from 5:30 pm onwards? Waiting for a cake for 2 hrs will definitely make them angry on you. Many of them will find their known people but some of them would be isolated and lonely in the crowd. So make everybody relaxed by hiring some entertainers like Magic / Puppet Shows.etc.
You can cover any unexpected delay with these entertainers.
12. Respect & Acknowledge your Guests - When the time has arrived for
cake cutting the father of the baby should announce something like this.
" Hi everybody, We welcome you all in a special way for the birthday of
my son / daughter baby ( name) . We appreciate each one of you for coming over here to bless our baby at this evening. Now I call upon my wife (name) to come here with our birthday kid ( name).
She comes
Now I invite the Paternal Grand Parents ( names) to the stage. They comes.
I also invite the Maternal Grand Parents of baby ( name). They comes.
Now in the name of God with all your prayers and blessings with your permission
our baby cut his / her first birthday cake".
Then cut the cake. When you say this everyone pays attention your ceremony.
Also people would feel great about you. Are you scared.? No worry ..Those guests are your own & known people only. Do not bring other kids to the stage during cake cutting. They will be a big trouble for you to control. Also they will disturb the photographer & Videographers.
You may bring them closer only in home party / for small crowd.
Some Things to Remember
It is better to remove the cake from the stage after the ceremony and ask
any waiters to serve along with other sweets. People will not be able to have food after you serve cake first. But you may serve cake when you know the guests are more than expected. So you may be able to overcome food shortage.
Please note again that all these mentioned here are purely my
personal idea and suggestions based on our experiences. So please contact us for further discussions. |

By following these tips, you can organize a successful company outing.
Almost all corporate allot some money to spend by their staffs. Either they share the money between themselves or visit a Bar / Restaurant and waste that money. So the company gets lazy staffs with a hangover.
Happy employees are productive employees. Boosting and
maintaining morale in the workplace is very important for both employee
productivity and retention. The cost of employee turnover in today's business
world is extremely high. Therefore, it is vital to create a positive
environment that encourages efficiency, teamwork and also some fun.

There are many events to get to know your employees and reward them for their dedication and service.
- Weekend Trips
- One day Fun day
- Annual Parties
- Weekly Happy Hour
- Family Picnics
- Fundraising Events
- Adventure Activities
- Athletic Teams
By following these tips, you can organize a successful company outing.
- Allow employees to participate in choosing types of company outings and activities. Narrow your choices down to three or four ideas and then permit your employees to make the final decision through a company-wide vote. You can also ask for volunteers to help organize the events, act as team captains and make planning decisions.
- Encourage family involvement. Whether you are planning a family picnic or organizing a holiday party, encourage your employees to involve their family. In the modern world, many people are lacking family time. Therefore, you cannot ask your employees to spend time outside the workplace without their family members.
- Don’t forget to ask for employee feedback. After each company outing, let employees fill out a questionnaire about the event. Gauge the success of previous company outings when planning your next activity.
