A first birthday party is a celebration held to mark a child's first year of life. It typically includes family and friends gathering to enjoy food, cake, and games. Decorations often feature bright colors and themes, such as animals or cartoon characters, to create a festive atmosphere. The highlight of the party is usually the birthday cake, often adorned with a single candle. Parents may also prepare activities suitable for young children, like balloons or soft toys. This event serves as a memorable milestone for both the child and their loved ones, capturing the joy of the first year.
