The 1/2 Birthday
Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 7:34PM I started noticing people celebrate monthly birthday’s last year when my stepsister was having a baby boy and was looking for a gift. I really do appreciate personalized items and just had to buy him a couple of onesie’s and a personalized sippy cup. I noticed that the shop owner had monthly stickers from just arrived to 12 months.
How cute are these stickers i thought, You just stick them on to a onesie and take a picture. I’ve seen them at different shops since then and even purchased mine from Etsy to match the theme of the baby shower. It’s a great idea to show how much your baby has grown.
Well recently I noticed the celebration of the ½ birthday (6 months). This is a great idea because they are half way to one year and that is a great reason to celebrate. You don’t have to go all out and throw a party (you could if you wanted to though) but doing little things like maybe having friends over for dinner or just the grandparents would be great too.
I do however think that pictures are a must! You can hire a professional photographer (Pictures taken by 4 Ever After Photography http://www.4everafterphotography.com/ ), take the pictures yourself or even go to a studio like JCP (www.jcp.com ).
Another thing that is really cute is a half birthday cake, you can buy a round cake from a bakery and have them stack the other half on top to resemble half a cake (I adore CC’s Sweets & Tweets https://shop.ccsweets.com/ ) or if you don’t think it’s a good idea for your 6th month old to have a cake yet, you can make one like I did (DYI in Friday’s post).
Also if you don’t buy the monthly stickers or even if you do, there are ½ birthday onesies! I first saw one from Polka Dot Junkie (http://polkadotjunkie.com/item_361/Its-My-12-Birthday.htm ), which is too cute! (Please keep in mind turnaround time when ordering) or if your crafty like Lizbeth you can make one! Raizel’s ½ birthday shirt came out too cute!
