First Birthday Parties...
Has anyone not had a 1st birthday party?
I've been planning on having one for Alexzander for a while & have only just started sorting things out for it today. It looks as though we would have 40+ adults and about 17 children (all but 2 are 1yo or younger). I haven't even worked out the proper numbers I just got to 40 and gave up. We really can't afford to have a party for that many people because we can't fit them in the house so would have to go out somewhere. I know I know, we could do it in a park, but Zander hates grass and he is so fair skinned that I'd be stressing all day about sunscreen.
So I'm thinking I might just have a BBQ for family - his aunts, uncles, grandparents & godparents. Even then there are 12 adults including Aaron & I. The only problem is I feel bad, like he *should* have a big party cos he will only ever have 1 first birthday. Of course I'll still do cake & presents & there will be a cake at mums group that week. But do you think I'm just being slack & should work out how to pay for a proper party?
