What did you do for your son's first birthday party?

We just celebrated our daughter's first birthday party with a gathering of family and friends at our home. We had it in the afternoon (after her nap!) with just appetizer-type finger foods. We decorated the entire downstairs, and made a dvd of pictures from pregnancy to present and had that playing on our tv in the living room. Everyone just socialized, ate, sang Happy Birthday, and watched our daughter open gifts. It was wonderful!

Well, the restaurant by my house is pretty cheap to rent out $75 for 4 hours and the catering is pretty good too. So we are having a St. Patrick's Day theme, since our son was born on St. Patrick's Day, but having the party on a Saturday so everyone can make it!

If your baby is in the summer, I would have a cook out! Or maybe if your family and friends are adventurous, you could even have a cook OFF, like bbq or chilli or something like that ;)

We just celebrated my Son's 1st Birthday last Saturday. My Mom made a ham and potatoes. We had cake following with presents. They are so little the cake is the best thing to them. Have a small party at home with only a few close people and that be that.

I would just have family and friends over and have a theme that he enjoys. My oldest had Elmo and my youngest had John Deere. We served pizza at one, and had a deli sandwich buffet at the other.

Don't feel guilty about not going as overboard. He won't know the difference and as long as the people that love him are there, that is what will make the day fun and memorable. Make sure and get lots of pictures of the birthday boy enjoying his day and his guests.

He won't remember anyways but I still want a fun one for my baby, we are just having a bbq and will have a slide into a little pool and her decorations and things like that, just something really fun, she will not be one until july 25th but I'm still excited.
