What are you doing for 1 year Birthday??Big or small?

tessy1 · August 2011

I am debating on doing something big or small. i was thinking either a park or my gym or gymboree. if i do it at gymboree it would have to be smaller. my mom keeps telling me that the first birthday all the family and friends should be invited.lol. what are you doing??

I am not sure. At first I was thinking we would do something at our house with family and a few friends, but people that I wasn't planning on inviting are already mentioning it to me so I don't know. H's is born in Feb and in Denver we could have some pretty cold weather so it has to be indoors. I don't really want a ton of people at our house but it seems like such a waste to do it at a Kid place like the Children's Museum or Monkey Buziness,etc when a 1 year old won't really care.

I am inviting my parents and siblings for dinner and cake, and that's it. My DP's family lives in OH or I would invite them as well. No presents, no crazy long guest list. She doesn't understand and I think it would just stress her out.

Small. Just local friends. Family all live far away. Just a dinner party and cake, really. During the day we'll probably hike to the children's tactile museum.

Very small, no big party. Just family and a few baby friends

Small. Like pps, we're just inviting a few friends to our home for dinner and cake!

We have lots of extended family that are driving from DH's hometown (about an hour south of us) so we are having a big party the weekend before. Family, a few friends and us. On her actual birthday we are going to eat with Mimi and Grandpa (my parents), it's tradition that my dad buys a birthday dinner for the person's birthday.

Small, we have very few family around Hs brother and his wife, she will be about 8 months pregnant and the time so they may not even come, we aren't too worried about it. I'm making her a little cupcake and we will give her some books. Ta Da!

I'm not sure yet. At first I was thinking it was ridiculous to have a huge party, but people keep asking if we are going to do anything. Our immediate families (parents, siblings, nieces/nephews) consist of about 30 people, plus we have close family friends (10+) that come to every family holiday (Christmas, etc) PLUS our friends and their kids. We have a 900 sf house. There's no way I want to host 50 people here, but it feels silly to rent a space for a 1st birthday party.

Decisions, decisions...

I wish we could do small. I really do but we have almost 30 people between my immediate family & DH's, not even including our friends.

I'm an event planner, so I think it's expected that I go all out...I'm going to do it up big for birthday number 1, and then it will be just immediate family until LO has his own little school friends to invite.
