1st birthday suggestions?

In keeping with the theme of birthdays, I thought I'd try and get some ideas for my dd's 1st birthday coming up. I think I am in denial that my baby is going to be a year in almost a month and I don't have anything planned for a party. What did you do for your dd/ds 1st birthday? Do you invite their "friends" to their 1st bday party or just keep it small with family? Suggestions for a theme or other special details for a 1st birthday? Location suggestions if we have a larger party? TIA!

    We invited immediate family and a few of our friends who have LO's and are "friends" with our DS. I think we had 23 people. We just did it at our house. Monkey theme. Got a super cute cake from SuperTarget (it was actually pull apart cupcakes and then decorated into a monkey's head). I made up sloppy joes that went in a crock pot and then just did chips, dips and veggies. We put up pictures from every month of LO's life, fun to look at. Got a few balloons, that's about it. I got plates and napkins at Target, I didn't find any monkey ones I liked but they had some that were brown with polka dots and I kind of went with the color theme of brown, blue and maroon. GL and have fun!

    We rented a small park shelter in Mahtomedi.  We will have about 30ish people, mostly family and our friends.  My house is small and by renting a space for the party I don't have to clean it.  We are doing easy finger foods and cake. 

    The theme is cupcakes and polka dots, all pink and white.  I'm making a birthday banner, a photo wall, pom poms to hang from the ceiling, centerpieces and the cake.  I have it all planned, I just need to finish the DIY stuff.  I can't wait...although I'm not ready for my baby to be a toddler:(

    I also did a birthday banner and a banner to go around the highchair that said "I am 1" with some monkeys in it.

    We did LO's at a local hotel, we had the breakfast room and then swam for a bit. It was a pool party so it went with the theme.

    It was decent price too.

    The theme for Cora's party was Purple and Pearls (and also lace). Basically everything was made by me, except some of the candy. It was a lot of work but it was so much fun. Here's a link to some pics that I shared on the 12-24 board https://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/47901425.aspx

    Wow! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I love everything. I may have my MIL sew a banner like that since she is a really good seamstress.
