Tips for Baby's First Birthday Party 

• Many indoor gyms require signed waivers and all guests (including parents) to wear socks. Make sure to communicate that in the invitation.
• Schedule the party during the best parts of your baby's day, not during nap time or past their usual bedtime.
• Don't forget to bring your camera!
