We had about 20 adults and 13 children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1179994 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:58:20 +0000 junebugmama 1179994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Yes! It was really great. They open up 3 planes/copters of your choice and my guy liked playing with the steering wheels and all of the buttons inside of them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1177593 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:53:04 +0000 californiadreams 1177593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm doing it at home in my small apartment....but it is going to be a very small party with less than 10 adults (or 10 exactly) most likely. i am hoping we all fit ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1177101 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 13:11:21 +0000 petunia354 1177101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: new england air museum? I might have to look into that, its a great idea. I probably wouldn't have considered it because it seemed to "old" but if your 1 year old enjoyed it maybe I'll check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176536 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 22:56:15 +0000 Kimberlybee 1176536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing because I would like ideas too! Our condo is just too small for a kid's party. We could probably entertain a handful of adults but not our entire family and extended family. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176531 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 22:52:13 +0000 T-Mom 1176531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it at home for both kids... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176401 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 20:09:14 +0000 junebugmama 1176401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had it at an airplane museum, where they had a separate party room, and did a "time flies" theme. Every one really loved it. I was able to bring in our own food and then we got a tour of the museum and got to sit in airplanes. I thought it would be more for the adults and older kiddos, but our 1 year old loved it too :) It was totally worth the $300 (total including food/decor/museum) to not have to clean my house before and after </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176394 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 20:02:21 +0000 bpcmarj 1176394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to a local pizza place. They blocked off a side of the restaurant, and we ordered a bunch of pizzas. Brought our high chair and had a blast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176389 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 19:50:13 +0000 Andrea 1176389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had 2 home parties for DD1 and I am over it! Too much work!! We are having DD2's at a restaurant. Bday is also late Dec so no outside option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176360 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 19:22:55 +0000 immabeetoo 1176360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: our community center and Reccenter both rent rooms; were doing the Rec bc it's cheaper. Id love to have it at home but the stairs are too hard for some family members! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176353 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 19:15:12 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1176353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had her first birthday at my parents house. Their house is much bigger than ours and we had close to 50 people come. </p> <p>Her second birthday was much smaller and here at our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176352 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 19:15:07 +0000 jmarionsmith 1176352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a local park has a nature center we rented out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176351 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 19:14:24 +0000 dolphin 1176351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most likely having it in my buildings party room.

M's birthday is in September so we were able to have it outside. Definitely made things easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176290 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 18:25:18 +0000 chopsuey 1176290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's we had it at a restaurant. March birthday.<br /> DS' we're having it in our building's clubroom.<br /> @petunia354: Our little guys are only 9 days apart!! We're having his party on the 14th of Dec! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176249 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:28:58 +0000 petunia354 1176249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: Ugh, talk about unnecessary stress! Sorry you had to deal with that when celebrating such an exciting day....</p> <p>@DillonLion: Yeah I definitely don't have the time or energy to make my house guest worthy, especially 3 days after Christmas, lol. I'll have to check out our community center, I never thought of that...thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176248 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:28:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1176248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will have it at home or at the pavillion at the park across the street from us depending on how many people end up coming. We plan to invite immediate family and God parents only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176237 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:13:10 +0000 DillonLion 1176237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are renting a multi purpose room in our town recreation center. No need to get my house pristine for a party! That aspect always gives me the most stress so i am glad we arent having the party at home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176236 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:12:20 +0000 Lindsay05 1176236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a planning nightmare because I have parents who don't get along. But that was a whole other issue! I booked a party room at a neutral location and my dad ended up pouting because he didn't want to see my mom. So I uninvited him and ended up having it at my inlaws. Worked out pretty good in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176230 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:07:48 +0000 MrsStar 1176230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did it at home, we had 20 people including us so it was do-able. It made it easier to clean lo up after having her cake, and we were able to put her down for a nap straight after without any issues. It also meant we didn't need to transport food/drink/gear around. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-have-los-1st-birthday#post-1176227 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:03:42 +0000 petunia354 1176227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had/are having a party for your LO's 1st birthday, where did you have it? At home? A park? Other?</p> <p>We are having immediate family, some extended and a couple friends, probably not more than 35 people. Right now we live in a tiny ranch and I'm not sure I want to host it at home! But his birthday is Dec 28th so we can't do it outside/at a park. Just wondering what others did :) </p>
