Birthday Party

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Wondering what most people do for a 1 year olds birthday party. If you are going to invite your friends with kids do you have that party and then a seperate one with family or just one party? And what do you do at it since a 1 year old is obviously not old enough to know how to play games and things? I have only taken my son to one of these parties but we arrived late so I don't know what they did during the main portion of it. Just looking for ideas on what to do!

    We discussed this on the March 2012 board. We mostly discussed themes.

    I think we will invite a few close friends (our family is pretty far away). We plan to make a few cakes (one "smash" cake for fun). We are going to keep it pretty simple.

    We are just having one party and inviting all close friends and family.  It's going to be quite a bit of people since my family is HUGE but I think it's easier to just throw one party then do two parties.  I'll only have to clean the house once, prepare food once, etc.  I can't imagine having two parties even if they are both small.

    Every first birthday party I have ever been to there has not been games.  The kids just played with each other while the babies got passed around from adult to adult.  The adults had a drink and socialized.  I don't think you need to worry about planning specific games or activities.

    We are having a house party with almost 50 people (friends and family).  I live in a rowhouse, so we are doing an open house type thing from 1-7.  So people can come by when they want and leave when they want.  The house is going to be really crowded, thats why we are doing it like this.
