We have large extended families on both sides, plus our friends. We had cut a lot of people from the guest lists too... It was hard! </p> <p>Subsequent parties had much smaller guest lists though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471240 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:40:06 +0000 lemondrop 471240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just us, an uncle, grandparents, and great-grandparents. We are having brunch at a restaurant, going to the zoo, and coming home for cake smash and gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471238 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:34:21 +0000 autumnlove 471238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 adults! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471229 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:16:10 +0000 Boogs 471229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept it just family and literally only a couple of friends and we invited close to 80 or 90. I would say maybe 65-75 people were actually in attendance. I should really sit and do a head count one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471220 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:05:25 +0000 heffalump 471220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25 people. That was more than I wanted.... Dh has trouble keeping the guest list small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471192 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:14:31 +0000 chopsuey 471192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we had a total of 21 including kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471191 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:14:00 +0000 loveisstrange 471191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: The party at home is closest friends and family. It'll probably be about 40 people. The party in England is my friends/C's baby friends and DH's co-workers who have kids and I MIGHT be able to squeeze it to 50 people. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471184 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:10:15 +0000 regberadaisy 471184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woah nelly! Going just really close friends and immediate family we will be inviting around 40-50. Thank god my side is 8hrs away so will only be inviting my siblings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471170 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:53:01 +0000 rachiecakes 471170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to have a small party with family &amp; friends but our place is tiny as it is. I would have had to leave out people that I really wanted to be there. We held it at a restaurant for about 30 people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-at-your-los-1st-birthday#post-471157 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:31:50 +0000 loveisstrange 471157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C will be 9 months next week, so I wanted to get started really planning her birthday party so we could budget for it. We have unique situation, DH is military and he's getting deployed a couple weeks after her birthday, so we're going home. So, we're having one party in England and then one in the states after he leaves and I fly home. </p> <p>I was making preliminary guest lists and we're looking at one party for 40-50 people and one for 60-80 people! WTF?!</p> <p>How many people did you invite/are you inviting to your LO's 1st? </p>
