For DD's 1st Birthday - we had a BBQ in the park. Nothing overly exciting. No games as the children ranged in age from 2 weeks to 2.5 years and were just happy playing at the park. We did do loot bags though - although I may have been a bit anal... All the adults got a "traditional" loot bag (lollies, balloons etc... and I may have thrown in a condom for a couple of close friends with newborns as a joke ). The kids bags were all targeted to their age bracket. For example, the twins (who were only a few weeks old) got the brand of dummy their parents were using, some bibs, a rubber duck each, and a face washer each. O (who was around 6 months) got a deflated balloon, bib, rusks, rubber duck. A (2.5yrs) got a freddo frog, deflated balloon, crayons, bracelet, hair ties. Everyone got to take home a helium balloon. And left over food!

To be honest, next time I plan to just have something even quieter! Maybe Grandparents over, a nice picnic in the park...

I hope you have a blast! Enjoy!
