Baby's First Birthday in Spain
Simple Spanish phrases for inviting people to, hosting and enjoying a first birthday party.
In Spain a first birthday is often a relaxed afternoon party at home with family and a few close friends, ending with a cake, one candle and everyone singing. Guests usually bring a present even when told not to, and clothes are a popular choice. The cards follow a parent in Seville inviting a colleague, welcoming guests and getting through the cake.
