For many parents, their children’s full moon, first birthday, and birthday celebrations are highly meaningful and memorable occasions. Taipei Regent Hotel is actively expanding its family-friendly market. Its Banquet Division officially launched the “Regent Baby Party” project before the Lunar New Year, offering services including venue planning and decoration, menu design and cooking, and event flow management. The hotel also assigns professional party consultants to tailor-make events such as newborn full moon, first birthday “grabbing the fortune sticks,” and warm birthday parties, helping parents create precious growth memories for their children.

Wu Weizheng, Managing Director of Regent Hotels, said: “Every year, up to 700 couples get married at Taipei Regent Hotel. After starting their families, each couple may enter the next stage of raising children. Regent hopes to play an important role in every stage of their lives—not just witnessing their weddings, but also sharing the joy of their children’s growth through full moon or birthday parties.”

Guests can create a unique venue design and decoration tailored to different needs, such as custom-printed items like exclusive placemats for guest tables, welcome signage posters, baby name cards, welcome photo backdrops, and specially designed stickers for gift bags.

For food, there are not only adult-favorite hot dishes such as French savory pies, Kentucky fried chicken, homemade mini burgers, grilled American ribeye cap, and crispy squid rings, but also a series of carefully prepared baby complementary foods, including cauliflower with onion and celery mash, mashed sweet potato, cherry tomatoes with pumpkin mash, and orange carrot mash.

For desserts, there are fun-shaped macarons, handmade cookies, cupcakes, and madeleines. The chef also creates personalized gingerbread houses and train cakes for each little guest. As for the most important birthday cake, in addition to custom fondant cakes, the chef will also bake a sugar-free, healthy, fruit-flavored sponge cake with the parents to share with the baby. For babies celebrating their first birthday, a “grabbing the fortune sticks” activity is also arranged.
