Since your baby will have no memory of his first birthday party, and may not even enjoy it while it’s happening, do you need to go through all the trouble? If you’re doing it for the photo op, we’ve discovered a way you can get a great birthday snapshot without having to actually have the party.

1. Download & print this birthday party scene.
2. Cut out the face hole.
3. Slide a similarly-sized picture of your baby’s face behind the hole.
4. Scan the image into a computer.
5. Either print out the shots or send them as emails to all the relatives.
