I don't really remember any of my birthday parties before the age of 6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2148432 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 10:39:39 +0000 matador84 2148432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Already had a 1st bday for DD. Can't decide since DS's bday falls on a 3-day holiday weekend. He'll be 3, we'll definitely do something to make his day special, but not sure about a party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2148424 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 10:26:31 +0000 Mrsjets 2148424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it's at our home and it's just us, the kids, our parents, our siblings, my niece and DH's grandma - 15 people total. </p> <p>It dosent cost much - just food really, since I reuse decorations. But it's special - and that's what counts. I will do friend parties once he starts school/will remember them more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2148388 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 08:58:36 +0000 Charm54 2148388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I'll be 37 weeks pregnant so it will be much more low key this year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2148379 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 08:52:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2148379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: I hope he has so much fun! That's what I wanted to do for her - a kid party with her daycare friends. She talks about them all the time!</p> <p>@Mamaof2: oh, absolutely! We're inviting my ILs over and also her daycare teacher who is also DH's cousin. I'm doing a Curious George cake and coordinating balloons. I know she's going to love it and be super happy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2148342 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 08:14:19 +0000 pui 2148342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year will be my daughter's first birthday, so I'd like to have a big-ish party inviting all the extended family and everything!</p> <p>Subsequent years we will probably do a party, but a smaller one with just close family and friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2148340 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 08:11:24 +0000 wonderstruck 2148340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pretty much always have a party. I'm not talking anything expensive or Pinterest-worthy though, just our parents and siblings w/their kids over for food and cake while the kids play together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2148325 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 07:42:20 +0000 cascademom 2148325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll probably do a low key family party again at my parents house with some local friends invited. It could be at our new house once we sell and get a new house. We'll have a 3 month old too at this point, so some of the party planning will revolve around him too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147619 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 11:46:56 +0000 BananaPancakes 2147619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Happy birthday to your little one! She's still the only HB baby I can remember that shares a birthday with my son. And his birthday party is tomorrow, too! It's his first "kid party," and all his little friends are coming, so he's so excited. I'm pretty excited too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147546 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:49:37 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2147546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only done little family parties so far. This year we want to do Disneyland if I'm not too uncomfortable (due less than a month after dd's 3rd bday.) Planning to do her first "real" party on her 4th bday when she has friends to invite from preschool. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147499 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:02:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2147499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably since she's turning 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147491 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 09:58:52 +0000 avivoca 2147491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We might have a family party. I don't want to do another big party until she is older and can remember it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147488 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 09:55:47 +0000 Adira 2147488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For Xander's 2nd, we just had a family-only "party". No theme or anything special - just food and cupcakes!</p> <p>Logan will definitely have a bigger party this year though since he's turning 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147485 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 09:54:05 +0000 mrsjazz 2147485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her party is tomorrow. Last year we did cake at home with family. She's 3 this year and gets it so we are throwing a party that has ballooned out of control, ha. But I'm excited for her, she keeps talking about all the people who are coming, the food, and being a fairy. (It's a Tinkerbell/fairy theme.)</p> <p>You can still have a party at home! Cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147472 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 09:47:48 +0000 babynumber1 2147472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes LO is turning 3 and has been looking forward to her birthday party for MONTHS. All of her little friends are older than her, so she has been not so patiently waiting for her turn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147296 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 08:01:21 +0000 Alivoo01 2147296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably a small get together, but we'll see when the day gets closer. Nothing like his 1st birthday that's for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147287 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 07:53:23 +0000 bpcmarj 2147287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are but that is purely at DH's request. If it were me I wouldn't have one for her. I think that she will be totally fine without one or with just a cake and singing at home and a traditional birthday zoo trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147264 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 07:23:10 +0000 Mamaof2 2147264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: you can still have a party with just your immediate family! A cake and some balloons = PARTY!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147259 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 07:19:13 +0000 BandDmommy 2147259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a party every year. We plan on having one until he tells us he doesn't want one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147200 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 06:20:40 +0000 looch 2147200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will be in December, but we will have one. It pains me to spend the money, but we haven't done a kids party yet and I know my son will absolutely have a blast with all his friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147149 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 04:04:18 +0000 miramira 2147149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberdaisy: That's a shame that you won't be able to have a party. Does it have to be expensive though? What about a pot luck style party?</p> <p>DS will be 1 so yes, we'll probably have a small party with close friends and family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147145 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 03:45:32 +0000 sarac 2147145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but my idea of a party is cupcakes and fun outdoor games at the park. I'll have a newborn at the time, so I want to keep it small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147141 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 02:59:42 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2147141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has so many baby/toddler friends we have to. And I am okay with that! She'll be 2 in August. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147111 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 00:03:56 +0000 AprilFool 2147111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a small party at home for her 2nd birthday last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147110 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 00:01:18 +0000 yin 2147110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it's always a small party at home. LO has been really into holidays and birthdays this year. He is so excited for his birthday on Saturday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147108 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 23:59:46 +0000 lamariniere 2147108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 5 and has never had a party. I think we are going to try this year, but it's hard since his birthday falls between Christmas and New Years. </p> <p>DD will be 2, just a family party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147101 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 23:45:43 +0000 mrsjyw 2147101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We skipped one for his 2nd bday last year and with baby bro coming a few months before his third, I want to do something to celebrate Ds1's birthday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147060 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 23:01:30 +0000 jhd 2147060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st birthday so we're having a party, only family though. I'm so excited!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147028 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 22:24:29 +0000 mrskc 2147028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD will be turning one this year, so she will definitely get a party. DS will be 3 this year. We didn't do a party for his second so I may throw him one this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-getting-a-party-this-year#post-2147022 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 22:21:15 +0000 Andrea 2147022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 is just having a school party upon her request. </p> <p>DD2, probably not. We'll just be getting back from Turks and Caicos. We can celebrate there! </p>
