Dd first birthday is comming up, honestly I think I am the least motivated I have ever been about such a milestone celebration ... but thats a whole other thread.
We have decided to just do a sausage sizzle, I have brought a pop up marquee and will decorate that with a few balloons but thats about it. We are having mainly family, godparents and just a couple of close friends and their kids so nothing huge.
I feel a bit bad about doing a low key thing but figured she won't remember it, she won't care on the day and if I invited EVERYONE well it would be huge to say the least.
anyhoo, I am debating what to do about the good old fashioned loot bags. There won't be any games or anything like that, we have been to a couple of other first birthdays and there have been loot bags with bits and bobs in but the parties have been a lot bigger than what we are doing for DD and more "partyish" itms??
If we decide to do them what should we put in them? there were always lollies in ours as kids and we really don't have the money to do little gifts.
How essential are they for a 1st birthday? I guess for older kids where the party is really a party they are essential but DD's is just a low key thing??
I dunno ....
HELP
