• Don’t invite too many people. It is far too daunting for a baby and he/she may end up clinging to you all the time. 
• Serve wholesome snacks that are safe for young children – don’t risk a child choking on nuts or popcorn.  
• Don’t bother inviting a clown or magician – they may frighten your baby or his/her guests.
