Four Benefits of Throwing a 1st Birthday Party In Your Backyard

Celebrating your child’s 1st birthday is a HUGE milestone to celebrate with friends & family! But throwing a successful 1st birthday party can take a lot of planning. And one of the first things to consider is where to have your party. If you have the space, I would strongly consider having your child’s 1st birthday party in your backyard. Here are four benefits of throwing a 1st birthday party in your backyard.

Having The Party In Your Backyard Saves Money That Can Be Spent Elsewhere

One of the primary benefits of throwing a 1st birthday party in your backyard is that you can save money from not booking it at an event space. Event spaces can be convenient. However, many can cost upwards of $100/hour or more. By saving money in this area, you can spend this money on an event planner (who can help decorate), or a Photographer who can help to capture the event for you. The benefits of hiring a professional Photographer for your event is that it saves you the stress of taking your own pictures. And chances are, they will do a much better job than you can do with just your phone 🙂

There Are No Constraints On Dates And Times

Another one of the benefits of throwing a 1st birthday party in your backyard is that you are free to select any date and time that works best for you. Unfortunately, popular event spaces can be booked on certain days and times. Having the party in your backyard does not have any restrictions. If possible, I recommend scheduling the party at a time of day when the lighting in your backyard is mostly shaded. On a hot day, your guests will appreciate the shade to keep cool. And shade provides great lighting for your pictures. Also, if you choose to have a backdrop, placing it with your back facing the sun will ensure that your posed pictures turn out the best as possible.

Your Home Is Convenient And Familiar For Most of Your Guests

The third on the list of benefits of throwing a 1st birthday party in your backyard is that it is also convenient for your guests. If any of your guests have been to your home, they will be familiar with the location.

Getting Ready Is Much Easier At Your Home

Last but not least, having the party at your home will make it a lot easier to get ready. Anyone who has kids can attest that it is sometimes difficult to get out of the house and to a venue on time. By eliminating this step, it will take away a lot of the stress of getting out of the door on time. Also, should you need to change your child or if they need to take a quick nap, they can do so in the comfort of your own home.

If you are planning on having your child’s 1st birthday party in your backyard, hopefully this brief post has helped. Thanks!
