Any 08 moms starting to plan DC's 1st birthday?
I'm not sure if I should start thinking about this now since the holidays are approaching. We have such a big family it's either do it BIG or tiny. I don't mind doing it big but we honestly wouldn't want lots of gifts - no place to put 50 new toys! Any ideas for winter/spring parties? DS's party (if we have one) will be March 22.

We started thinking about Zach's since all our family is OOS. We needed to plan a date at least so they could look into airfare. We are going to do it Feb 7 (3 days before he turns 1).
We already know what theme we are going with so I think I am going to start slowly buying things. Like this it is not a one time hit on the credit cards and I don't feel rushed.

DS's birthday is New Year's Day. We are just doing a small party with close family and friends at our house that weekend.

We know we're going to do it on her bday, Jan 24th (it's a sat) and where we're going to have it, but we haven't officially booked it yet.

Yes, we started thinking about it a couple of weeks ago, since it is smack at the end of winter and our house is too small to have it here. We are trying to think of themes and guest lists and that is about where we are right now.

Re: Any 08 moms starting to plan DC's 1st birthday?
I've been thinking about it for months. I know where I want to have it, I just have to cut a whole bunch of people off the guest list so we can fit. I think it will be January 18... or whatever the Saturday is after DD's birthday.
I'm finding themes to be a bit of a PITA because I'm not drawn to any particular character since DD doesn't watch much tv.

I've started thinking about it too. DD will be 1 in March and it will be here before you know it. I have no idea what we are going to do. Our apt is too small and I don't want to spend a ton of money in a restaurant where the kids can't even run around. I would love to hear the ideas other people have.

I have been thinking about it, but haven't made any plans yet----I really think I want to keep it pretty low key---pretty much all of our family is OOS, so its hard to have everyone.

Re: Any 08 moms starting to plan DC's 1st birthday?
Ive been thinking about DD's 1st birthday for a few months now...her actual bday Jan 2 is on a friday so I kind of want to have our immediate family over that day (about 20ppl) but our house is too small! we are looking to buy right now and hope to move before Christmas so hopefully new house will have enough room for everyone for her actual bday...i will be going to a party store to pick out decorations in Nov. probably! i love polka dots so im sure the decor will have something to do with them lol

I started thinking about it before he was born. I turn 30, DS turns 1, and our 5 yr anniversary are all within a few weeks of each other. So we're planning a big family cruise and will probably have a small thing at home.
