LO's first birthday is just around the bend. I have his party tentatively scheduled for the 2nd of February. It's going to be a small affair, since I don't know many (okay, a grand total of three and two of them not very well at all) people with kids around Henry's age.

I don't have a cake picked out - I'm thinking cupcakes, saw Mrs. Stroller mention gluten-free chocolate cupcakes? That sounds good!
I don't have invitations picked out or sent.
I don't have any decorations picked out or bought.
I don't even have a real guest list yet, just a vague sense of who I should invite.

In other words, I'm probably one of the worst moms for not having this stuff picked out. I thought about it! I really did! But after DH and I decided not to go overboard (and by overboard, we mean elaborate because we have A LOT going on right now ((trying to buy a house, 2nd LO due soon, DH's work keeping him from home more..)) ), I guess I just let it fall to the wayside.

Now, with a little more than two weeks before the tentative date, I'm scrambling to pull this party together. I thought at first to look at BRU or TRU but after working there, I know what kind of stuff I'd find. So I decided to turn to Party City. After all, that's where I got all my baby shower decorations and so forth, so why not? (Note: I -loved- that baby shower, even though it was straight from a package.)

Instantly, I was drawn to this:

Simple, cute, and I can easily keep the monkey out of the mix! What do you think? Or do you think I should keep looking? Any other suggestions for a quick 1st birthday without much fuss? We're thinking there's probably going to be around 30 people max. Probably more like 15.
