5 Tips For The Perfect First Birthday Party

Achild’s birthday is a truemilestone. It’s never too early to start planning. 1. The birthday child is still very young and probably taking daytime naps, so plan a party that's no longer than 2 hours. 2. Choose a simple theme that you can carry through the party decorations and cake. The child’s photo, favorite character or the first letter of the birthday child's name are a good choice for one-year old learners. 3. If older children are invited, have an activity planned for them, whether it's a simple craft project they can complete and take home or an active outdoor game.

Our basic birthday package includes up to 3 hours of private picnic area seating for 30, use of our grill and grilling tools, face time with the menagerie, a 30 minute farm “tour”, and an assortment of lawn games. A 10×10 tent is available if seasonal tent is not up. This basic package starts at $200, with additional charges for hayrides, face painting, snack bags, and groups larger than 30. Restrooms are available in the store until 5 pm daily. BIRTHDAYS, FOR YOUNG AND YOUNG-AT-HEART!

4. Plan a light menu for the adults, since parents with children the same age as your birthday child will be there. A buffet or a brunch is always a big hit. 5. Everyone loves shopping for birthday presents, so let your guests know what's needed and wanted.
