    Are you planning a 1st Birthday party for your LO? Yes

    Who are you inviting? Family and Friends (no more than 20 people)

    Where do you plan to have the party? My house

    Do you have a theme in mind? Not yet

    Any fun ideas for decorations, food, favors? I will probably do a late lunch/early dinner with cake for everyone. Haven't thought of decorations and probably won't do favors unless I decide to decorate sugar cookies.

    ETA: Apparently reading comprehension is hard, so I didn't answer questions correctly.

    Since its winter we might do a chili bar and then have cake. Kiddo will get a cupcake to smash. Haven't thought about decor yet. Maybe I'll make a simple birthday flag garland thing that we can reuse in the future. Def no favors....I'm all about making it low key since he's not going to remember it anyway. :)

    Are you planning a 1st Birthday party for your LO? We will have a small family birthday party. I do not think we will do anything bigger than that. 

    Who are you inviting? my parents my sister and BIL, and a few other extended family members that we typically have at holiday and birthday parties. We also will invite my in-laws, and my brother and sister-in-law. I doubt the in-laws or my brother and his family will show up, since they all live anywhere from 3 to 12 hours away. 

    Where do you plan to have the party? It will probably be on black Friday, which is L's birthday. He was Thanksgiving day baby. We will probably have the get the get together at my parent's house. 

    Do you have a theme in mind? Not yet. The cake probably will have something to do with Disney, since I love Disney. 

    Any fun ideas for decorations, food, favors? There definitely will be cake and ice cream. Maybe pizza. It isn't going to be anything big, so there probably won't be any favors or anything.

    I love rainbow colors. We did a rainbow theme for Emma on her first birthday, so I think we will do the same. We will mix a heart theme in there, because, you know. We will be asking for donations for RMDH instead of gifts for Amelia. We have a ton of toys, and they're all nice.

    I thought a medical theme would be funny too!

    That's a great idea asking for donations to them!

    Where do you plan to have the party? Our house

    Do you have a theme in mind? Yes

    Yes, there will be a party. Sure it will be something trite and overdone on the interwebz , but totally cute to all others. I'm leaning penguins and snowflakes, silver with various shades of blue. I have a Pinterest board. There WILL be a hot chocolate bar.

    On guests, DS1's had about 50 guests, but it was outdoors. Not sure how to deal with the winter thing, yet. But there will be at least 30, I'm sure.

    Are you planning a 1st Birthday party for your LO? It sounds terrible, but I am still waffling a bit between an actual party and just having a smaller party with just immediate family. DH says we have to have a party for her since DD1 got one, and what will LO think years from now when she sees video from her sister's party and she only got a lame family gathering....point taken. So I am pretty sure we probably will have one.

    Who are you inviting? Immediate family of course, our close friends, parent friends & their kids, and neighbors probably. Sounds like a lot, but see theme below.

    Where do you plan to have the party? It will definitely be at home if we have one at all.

    Do you have a theme in mind? I'm thinking a hybrid 1st birthday/holiday party. I already did the "Winter One-derland" theme for DD1's first birthday party, or I would go with that -- super cute and perfect for that time of year!

    Any fun ideas for decorations, food, favors? Thinking Christmassy/red/sparkly/festive. Will probably go on Etsy and find themed printables I like. As for food, definitely finger foods, holiday cookies, hot cocoa/spiced cider, etc.
