Jason is turning 4 on Monday and I am only having a birthday party for him with close family next weekend. We already went to a few extravagant birthday parties his classmates' parents threw for their kids, but I am not doing anything like that this year. The only thing I am doing is bringing corn muffins and stuff for decorating them to school Monday, so kids can decorate their own cupcakes (corn muffins b/c they only let bring "healthy" food to school.) I will bake the muffins myself though. Am I a terrible mother?

We had a big party for his first birthday, but I won't be doing anything like that again for a while. I'd told the neighbors to just come over for cake and don't bring a gift, but none of them listened and brought gifts anyway.
We were invited to a 7 year old boy's party a few weeks ago. Boy, that was eye-opening. They had a reptile demonstration and pizza and about 20 kids. It was pure mayhem.
That is not at all flammable, and you are not at all terrible. Your plan sounds like a lot of fun - the corn muffin idea is great!
I am not one for the big blowout parties. We didn't invite more than family even for her first birthday. I agree with pp that the huge events are more for the parents to show off than anything else.

First of all, not flame worthy at all, Good for you. Umm, they only let you bring "healthy food" to school, so you're going to frosting, sprinkles, etc. on corn muffins? I like the fact of corn muffins (yummy), but the school is OK with letting the kids decorate them, why not go all out and send cupcakes? I guess, I am such a rebel rousing that I would just send dark chocolate, and say, "It's healthy!". Which is why I don't bring treats for my birthday to work.
