Omg. I don't even want to think about it!!!!! It's come too fast.

Um I have been planning this almost since she was born

I just can't believe it is almost time to actually get down to the details! I am in shock my baby will be 1 and so soon!!!!!!! Time will fly now that Christmas has passed.

@autumnlove: No, at a park. Our house just isn't great for having people around. Much easier to have it somewhere else and then I don't have to clean my house .

We are having a Onederland theme with a tea party. Super excited!

yep totally planning now that we're past christmas! i'm debating between a park (where we can't have beer, and that kind of sucks for the adults, so I'm leaning towards my house...eep) or my house, but renting like, a bounce house or something for the older kids (how much are those???). The appeal to a park was someplace where the toddlers could play. if i have everyone at my house, I HAVE to have entertainment so they don't go bonkers. early April can be cold or rainy here, too. Sigh. Decisions. I would have to rent tables and chairs for outside, too (although in the case of rain, we can do that in the basement)

I've thought about it a bit, but am not decided.... Our place isn't big enough for anything, and both our parents live a little too far away to be able to invite friends. Which leaves renting a space, which just feels like such an effort....
April is a tough party month because we can't go outside!

I am super overwhelmed with this! I just can't decide on the size, first of all. How big are you all thinking?

I def have a Pinterest board with themes....I can't believe it's gonna be here so soon.

@Silva: This is where living in Oz is a good thing. April is a great month to be outside.

@autumnlove: A taco truck!!! Omg... want For food I think I am going to have the party at 10 so we just have nibbles. . Cake is my fav thing so I want to do a dessert table and a crazy cake and make it the focus.

@Dagny: The invite list is about 45 but I am not sure everyone will come. I would say 30 - 35.

@blackbird: That doesn't seem unreasonable for a bounce house

Any fun theme ideas for boys? We already had a little man/mustache baby shower (and a dr Seuss one too).

@AprilFool: Love the onederland theme!I so want to see pictures of the party when it's all done!
@cmomma17: I'm obsessed with little monsters and I think I'd go in this direction if I had a boy http://www.festivefinds.com/2013/07/little-monsters-first-birthday-party.html?m=1

We are having a You Are My Sunshine themed party at a local campground that we frequent. I'm so excited about the party and sad that this year has flown by so fast!

Thanks for all the cute ideas ladies! I love a good rainbow/colors theme but I feel like I should save that for when he's older. Although really we will most likely just be doing cake and presents with the grandparents so I don't need a theme. But I wanna!

@cmomma17, we decided this weekend to just do a color theme! Aqua, pink, and silver glitter

@autumnlove: I love pink and gold! Especially gold glitter.

@blackbird: Aqua and green were going to be our colours but after finding some cool invites we are going to do a pink ombre theme and just leave the aqua out.

I also found the most awesome pink ombre tutu on etsy. Smash cake outfit done!

It's a big change from before she was born where I was like NO PINK!! but it's hot pink so it's ok right?

Zero progress here too! all I did was ask mil if we could do it at her house and she said of course! No ideas for day, time, food, presents, etc. Maybe I will get motivated in March.

When are all of our Lo's bdays? Mine is the 18th!

Any updates/progress? I'm really thinking about LO's birthday this week - because it's only 2 months away - eek!

I was going to do simple streamers and balloons to decorate at my in laws. But we discovered that LO is scared of balloons! Maybe he'll grow out of it?

Today FOOD is on my mind We will likely just do lunch and cake with all the grandparents, my sister and nephew. We are going to celebrate on Saturday the 19th, even though LO's bday is the 18th. A Saturday will make it easier for my sister and nephew to attend, but DH might not be able to take the whole day off. I'm thinking fruit skewers, mac n cheese, and hummus (LO's FAVE!), not sure what else!
