We just relocated and are living in an apartment. I want to have a 1st birthday party for my son but we don't have much room here. Any ideas on a good venue to have a small party?

Re: Place for 1st B-day party in Port/Vanc?
First of all...your baby is beautiful! I am not a mommy yet, but here are some of my ideas for parties: OMSI, Zoo, community centers, park, restaurant with private area, pizza place, Portland Children's Museum, indoor park...HTH
Do you live in an apt complex? Many complex's have a "community room" that you can rent for a nominal cleaning fee (like $100), and some will rent to you even if you don't live there. I would drive around your local area and look for a decent apartment complex, and then just walk in and ask them. I did this for a wedding shower recently (with 100 guests) and it worked perfectly.
Or if any of your friends live in apartment complex, you could ask them.
Portland parks & rec rents rooms in their community centers. (Details on their website). I bet Vancouver parks & rec does too.
Voodoo Doughnuts downtown has a room to rent, which might be fun. Like pp, I'd check pizza places in your area.
