    Seriously? One year old bdays r for the parents.....bit the kid....it really doesn't matter what u do.....do an exorcist theme.

    lol my husband likes this idea

    Seriously, have a nice birthday cake, maybe lunch at home, invite the grandparents, aunts / uncles. If he interacts with other kids his own age in daycare, or on play dates, maybe a couple of them w/their moms.... he will not know what all the fuss is about. Just take pics of him smearing the cake on his face, and enjoy.

    Otherwise, you are setting a precedent of having to out-do yourself, and worse, your friends, every year. And if you have more kids, it's gonna cost a fortune! ;-)


    Can't have it at home, NYC apartment a.k.a small, party list is 100-120 people

    we didn't do a "theme" per se for my son's first birthday ... we just had decorations in blue, green, red, yellow, etc ... just bright and fun. themes can be fun, but don't stress too bad about it yet :) he's still a youngin'.

    My son was in love with anything and everything dog related around his 1st birthday so we did had dogs on everything- dog plates, napkins, dog bone shaped sandwiches, etc. This year he's obsessed with "Lighin' Keen" so he had a Disney Cars birthday.
    Go with something your kid loves.

    For my oldest first birthday, the theme was Blue's Clues because he loved that at the time :)
