Getting a first tooth is a pretty big deal. While some people may move on quickly, I think it deserves a full-on celebration with a my first tooth party.
When your kids are little, every little milestone is a big deal.
The biggest ones of all include getting your first teeth. It is always so exciting to see the little white specks come poking out of the baby’s mouth.
Since the milestones are so thrilling, I figured it was a great idea to celebrate my baby and their first tooth coming in with a my first tooth party.
The party is definitely more for the parents, right ;), but also a good excuse to celebrate your little one and how far they have come.
I love to make big deals out of the first milestones with my babies. Celebrating their first steps, first real food, and most importantly, their first birthday party are always high up on the list of parties.
The best thing is that this can be such a simple and easy party to create. Lots of the decorations are printable and can easily be set up. Plus, they make really cute backdrops to take your little one’s photo with their first teeth popping out.
Pro planning tip: Celebrating small moments is a fun way to gather just a small group of people and gives some breathing room from the big milestone birthdays.
