When I planned DD1 1st birthday I worked it around her sleeping times. So ours started at midday and finished up around 3:30 - 4pm and her day was not disrupted.

Because it was started around lunch time we had sausage sangas, a garden salad and potato salad as they were quick easy foods but enough to fill people up. You can never go wrong with party pies/sausage rolls though just make sure you have plenty on offer. Pastisi's are always a popular choice too. We also had plenty of dips, chips and lollies. The best food that everyone loved (but made a mess) was watermelon. We had DD1 cake and one other cake for dessert.

I agree with Rhichichi, the loot bags are fun when made for boy/girls. I also made a lollybox (like chocolate box) for the adults because so many people helped out it was just a little thanks for them too.

Have fun and I hope your DD2 and your family have a wonderful day.
