Dwayne' s

My son is going to be turning one May 2 and i want to have a party for him but i am not sure where. My BF wants to have it at Peter piper pizza, Itz, or chuckE Cheese. Do you think that is to much for a 1st b-day party!? Or should we just have a party at home? I want it to be fun! What would be cute invitations? Or party theme?
My BF already took off work just to have a party for him!

Answer
Hi!

I agree with most of the other answers... I think you would have the best time by having a small party at home....
As for invitation / theme ideas... here are some cute ones:

Baby's 1st Birthday- a few questions?

Mrs. Kelly

Hi! My baby is turning 1 early November. I never thought I'd have a first birthday party for her- just dad, mom, grandmas and grandpas... BUT now I am just so excited and we have many friends with babies, so I'm going to do one.
1. How much is too much? (guest-wise. I'm thinking there might be 12 kids under the age of 5 there, plus their parent of course. Is this too over the top? My house is small!)
2. I want a tasty but HEALTHY birthday cake. If that exists. I'm thinking of making a carrot cake. What do you think?
3. I'm not going to do a theme... just a lot of balloons. Any ideas on what else could "go on" at the party?
THANKS!

Answer
my son turns 1 at the end of tis month. i just sent out invitations today. almost 30 invites went out.
i have a smallish house too, yet im going all out.
im so excited! i cant wait until his birthday!
i know he wont remember it, but ill have tons of pictures to share with him when he gets older. and i feel like each birthday should be celebrated the same weather he remembers or not.

1. only you can answer that question. if you feel you cant accommodate that many children and their parents, then cut down your guest list.
2. i honestly dont think there is such thing as a healthy birthday cake. carrot cake tastes great, but could pack just as many calories as a chocolate or vanilla cake. you could do an angel food cake. thoes are low in fat, and you could do a fresh fruit topping, if youre that worried about calories or fat.
3. decorate however you want. we have chosen a "jungle buddies" theme. i ordered all the decorations from birthdaydirect.com. great selection, and great prices. plus im going to go to party america the morning of the party and get a ton of balloons.

we're not going to play any games at the party. just bbq and spend time with family and friends. watch him play around in his chocolate cake that i am making for him, and watch him open presents.

1st birthday party help! Where do i start? Ideas and advice please!?

July 3rd is my sons birthday, but was planning to have the party on July 11th. Please help with ideas and planning advice. Thanks!

Answer
You have several options when it comes to whom you should invite to your toddlerâs birthday party. If your child has friends from a playgroup, a daycare center, or the neighborhood, consider inviting a few of the children your toddler talks about most. The general rule is to invite one friend for every year of your childâs age, plus one. So, if your toddler is turning two, you would invite three friends. Keep in mind that at least one parent and, quite possibly, other siblings of each child will stay during the party. This can dramatically expand your guest list, so plan for it in advance by keeping the list of friends to invite short. If you would like any of the parents or older siblings to help out during the party, call them in addition to mailing them invitations. (Remember: More parents present means less kiddy chaos!)

As an alternative to inviting your toddlerâs friends, you may choose to have a party with just family in attendance. At this age, your child will be just as excited to see his favorite aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents as he/she will be to see his/her friends, plus it may be less stressful for you. You can always invite one or two special friends to join the festivities with their parents, if desired.
For peace of mind, begin planning your toddler birthday bash six to eight weeks in advance. This will allow you time to gather all the supplies that you need, including toddler party decorations, gifts, and menu items. Planning ahead also gives your guests time to RSVP and make travel plans, if needed. Don't panic if you find yourself short on time; you can still plan a great party! Planning ahead simply reduces the risk of conflicts with guests' plans and may increase your partyâs attendance.
When choosing your invitations you can either keep them simple with gender-specific colors and some balloon stickers or you can purchase pre-printed toddler birthday invitations that compliment your chosen party theme. i recommend mailing your invitations three to four weeks prior to the partyâany sooner and your guests may forget, any later and your guests may already have plans.

To simplify the rest of the party planning process, check out our Party Planning Timeline, and read the paragraphs below for information on selecting decorations, supplies, activities, and more for your child's party.If you plan to use paper tableware and toddler party supplies, our Suggested Party Supply List may be quite helpful. Please note that you may not need everything on the list; it is intended only as a guide. For girls, you may use a combination of pink, purple, and white, or your daughter's favorite colors. For boys, red, yellow, and blue work well, or a combination of your son's favorite colors. If youâve chosen a theme for your party, select colors that compliment the designs on your cups, plates, and other partyware.

For goodie bags, purchase stickers, costumes, stuffed animals, plastic toys, candies, and other toddler birthday favors that fit your theme. Place all of these items inside clear or printed cellophane bags, and tie the bags closed with colored ribbons.
