You can get perssonalised plates with your childs details on them, and people write their birthdayt message to them, all you have to do is fire them in the oven afterwards! I think they are super, and plan to get one done for my son when he turns one!
I saw the plates and they're really nice. A friend had one made for my daughter when she was born which was gorgeous but it had all her birth details - date, weight, name etc over a gorgeous animated childrens picture.
Im thinking of going to a local park, wanted a BBQ (disposable) but i dont think local parks allow them!?
ps- dont feel bad red i'm sure ur eldest has millions of fabulous memories even if its photographs!! Sometimes i just go OTT because i love looking back through my VERY LIMITED childhood photographs!
If my parents did a film message for me, I would have been chuffed! I would deffinatly do it!
what about collecting things that are going on on the day of her birthday i.e. Newspaper of the day, music that was in the charts, sweets that are eaten now (be very retro), lock of their first hair.....
but who knows what equipment there will be to play it on in 18yrs time????? If my parents had given me a film reel I'd be looking at it thinking how the hell will that fit the slot on my dvd player
There are animals in the park we're going to (even though she's almost completely oblivious to them!).
I lik ethe retro though andrea - really good idea. We all love the old fashioned sweets! ANd the paper idea is good, have got the paper form the day she was bron too, although the headline is something about the NHS which is boring but we cant have it all!
lmao 4getmenot, well i reckon they'll still have a device that plays DVDS, and my camera has a memory card so i can just save it onto my laptop and transfer it on to whatever it is that plays videos in 18 years time lol!
I can not believe we are talking about your baby's first birthday!!! Already?? where has the year gone??
The video message is a nice idea. Unfortunatly when both my girls had their first birthdays their Dad was ill (both times, Christmas's too!!) so we just had a small get together with my Mum, step-Dad, sister and her husband. Never thought to do a keepsake type of birthday, good idea tho :o)
I still can't believe it's almost a year!! I hope she has a lovely day whatever you do (I'm sure she will!) :o)
