When I was 1 years old, my first birthday was celebrated at a restaurant, my mum and dad invited their friends to join too! It was fun even though I was too young to understand. My mum invited a clown, she put on lots of activities for everyone (especially for kids) to enjoy the party. And a MC to explain how to play the game and so on. Also they ordered a gigantic first birthday cake for me. The guest gave me presents... That was it for my first birthday party! My mum and dad doesn't like complicated parties so that is how they planned it.
ReplyDeleteMy parents also made my party all pink it was my favourite part.
ReplyDeleteWhen i turned 1 years old, it was celebrated at home and guest were invited to join the party. It was fun and my grandparents were there too! And my parents decorated my room with pink.
ReplyDeleteOn my first birthday, everyone partied while i was napping for half the party
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 1 years old, I was living in Ho Chi Minh City. My parents and I celebrated a small family party and gave ,e a teddy bear. However in Japan, they celebrate a more important one; when a child has been born for 100 days, most Japanese families celebrate a celebration called Issho mochi.
ReplyDeleteIssho mochi is an event which is 'Issho..' meaning 1.8 kg of rice cake is taken by children at his/her 1 years old birthday because 'Issho' has also a meaning of 'whole life'
This celebration is for the baby's good health and abundance. The baby gets dressed up in a tiny kimono and the family members prepare a huge meal.
When my grandma put the rice cake on a bowl, my mum held me so that I could stamp on it, although I just looked at my grandma and did particularly nothing.
When I was doing the 1year birthday party, my parents let everyone to wear anything that they want. But our family need to wear Han Bok. We cut the cake and take photoes. People gave some money of presant for to our family.
ReplyDeleteAnd a special event was: There are a lot of things like microphone,pencil,notebook,money,mouse for computer,stick,and thing that doctor use to here your heartbeat. I need to choose 1 and that will be your talant. They believe.(people)
ReplyDeleteI choose a pencil.It means my talant is smart.
I don't remember my first birthday, but my mom told me that in my first birthday, I've celebrated with my family only and there were decoration around my house where on the other hand, from nowdays I celebrate my birthday without decoration and got less people.
ReplyDeleteOn my first birthday my family celebrated at home and invited my family and my mom and dad friends. We have my dad workers too. It wasn't soo special but it was good. It was like any normal birthday that you have.we cut the cake and have a sing song and take picture. and my favourite part that i got many presents.
ReplyDeleteOn my first birthday it was a normal birthday. with a cake and family but my brother had the traditional vietnamese 1st birthday
ReplyDeleteOn my first birthday, my mum would invite my whole family over so they brought some tradition food and my mum also make some traditional food but we do not just eat the whole thing, we also give the neighbour some of the food as well! :D
ReplyDeleteI was a really little person when I was one years old.On the day 22 of febuary 2003 it was my very first birthday.My parents made a little party in the evening,at a Thai restaurant near where i'm living now.They invited lots of their friends.Juliet(who learned in TX campus in year 4)was there as well.There were lots of balloons so I can touch.Also there was children's songs.I was carried most of the time because I was only just learning to walk.But on some occasions I had a little waddle!I don't really remember all of this but my mum took a video so I've seen it.Then it time to eat!I sat on a baby's high chair and banged my spoon and fork on the table.I had a big and high birthday cake which was pink I think.I loved my first birthday.It was great even though I've seen it on the video not it reality.
ReplyDeleteMy first birthday kind of combined with the traditional Taiwanese way of celebrating which is to buy the baby new, beautiful things like hat, clothes, shoes... and to give everyone - that my parents invited- a boiled egg. However, my parents also bought a birthday cake for me and the part that I liked most was the fact that there was a picture of me on the cake that is made out of cream and can be eaten. By parents also told me that I did not only munch the cake up happily but I also used my finger to whip the cream up.Such fascinating fact!
ReplyDeleteMy first birthday party was celebrated in a restarant. On a table there are many stuff. I picked the stedescope. The priest told my Dad that my ambition is to become a docter because a stedescope is a docter's tool
ReplyDeleteMost people in Korea celebrate their first birthday in a restaurant. They eat and talk and later the baby goes in the front, sits on the table and picks one of the objects, this is called 'Doljabee'. Which Korean people believe that they will be like that.(what the object represents what)Now here are the things that what represents what...
ReplyDelete-Wool: The child will live long
-Book, pencil, or related items: The child will become a successful scholar
-Money: The child will become rich
-Microphone-The child will will become a very good singer
-Stethoscope-The child will become a very good doctor/nurse...
Then after the baby had picked up an object some relatives will hang a wool around the babies neck. They hang it because, if the baby didn't pick the wool and picked something else the baby (who's first birthday was on that day) will also live long.
P.S: I picked up a pencil :):)
Also, people wear the traditional cloth Hanbok(in South Korea)on the baby's first birthday in Korea they call it 'Cheot Deol'The guests can wear anything but the baby's relatives (grandma, grandpa, dad, mum and baby) must wear Hanbok.
ReplyDeleteOn my first birthday, my parents celebrated at sheraton hotel. My parents invited a lot of their friends. Even though i was too young to remember it... it was still fun.
ReplyDeleteOn my first birthday, my dad invited his 2 best friends and their families to my house. My mom however invited most of her friends. My cousins, aunties, uncles, grandparents, and neighbors were all there. I know it was so awful crowded but i had so much fun and enjoyed bouncing up and down (my dad said i was trying to dance but it actually looked like i was bouncing up and down)!!!
ReplyDeleteI ate a small piece of cake (about a size of a computer mouse). Then came the presents, they were bags of diapers, clothes, toys, teddies, shoes, and more... That was the most funniest birthday in my life although i didn't remember any of this. (my dad told me all of these crazy events)!
On my first birthday, my parents celebrated at home invited my mom's and dad's best friends. That's what i remembered the most, however i also play toys with my mates!
