You only need to learn some fabulous ways to make your baby’s new year the best. The best part- you do not even have to spend a hefty amount for a good celebration. Continue reading for some of the affordable and fabulous ideas.
Witness the Ball Drop at Home
Unless you have hired a babysitter or convinced a relative to watch your baby for free–when you are out to watch New Year’s clock ring in the new year in Times Square, you can better enjoy the moment at home. Instead of tolerating the vast crowd at Times Square, you can watch the ball drop on TV. Enjoy the sparkling glory on the Times Square website while cuddling your baby. If it is the 1st new year celebration for your baby, you would not want him or her to freeze in Times Square. Better have a cozy first celebration at home.
Pick up an Adorable 1st New Year Outfit
What is the celebration without dressing up in an adorable, festive outfit? If you want to make your little one feel special, you should start shopping for a perfect outfit for him or her. Babies feel happier and have sparkly eyes the minute they see something new. Regardless of their ability to speak and their innocence; exciting things like gifts and new clothes make them joyous. Parents should always consider buying new year outfits for baby girls and boys even before they purchase outfits for themselves. If you are excited and want to make it extra special, you can also splurge and buy two outfits—one for New Year’s Eve and the other for New Year’s Day. It would be best if you purchase something adorable yet sparkly.
Host a Baby Party
Apart from the parents, babies love to have the company of other babies. You can invite your friends with their babies to your home and throw an early New Year’s Eve party. Arrange a fair amount of baby purees and finger foods for the little ones and delicious appetizers with drinks for the adults. This early party can be a chance for you to have a cozy celebration with limited people. Make sure you dress your little one in an adorable outfit to make it more memorable. If you face trouble finding a festive dress for a baby girl, enter an online baby store and find designer newborn baby girl clothes in the dress-up section. Let your little one play with your friends’ babies while you can enjoy talking with the adults.
Get Party Poppers
Colours and sparkle make every baby excited. You can get colourful balloons along with shiny and sparkly confetti. Pop it when its peak time for cutting the cake or even when the clock strikes 12. If it’s your baby’s first new year, you can make your baby the centre of the celebration. Dress her up in a beautiful dress and let the little hands cut the cake while you throw confetti all over.
Click Family Pictures
You should not miss this in any family celebration; especially when it’s the 1st new year celebration with your baby. If you have a polaroid camera, you are lucky enough. If not, you can also click family snaps on your mobile phone and develop all of them later. Obviously, your baby is not going to remember any of it when he or she grows up. So, snaps are the best way to look back at the happy times with all the family members.
