Fall 1st Birthdays...What to do?

Those who have babies in Sept/Oct/Nov...What did you do for their first birthday parties?

The Girls are Oct 2nd and I don't know what to do.

I really dont want to do a sit down type dinner at a resturant as its a bit too formal for me for a 1st birthday, a childrens place is too young, and we want family there, but after the christening, I hesitate to do a Hall type of place again. It was just too much work for us, even though we hired people to do almost everything. ( plus it added up...I really dont wanna spend more then $1000 on the birthday if possible).

Is there anything I didnt think of????

I dont have acess to a backyard. Arent you afraid it will be too cold? I'm sooo scared of outside parties b/c of the weather aspect. I remember the anxiety around Noahs every year..would it rain etc.

But that sounds like a super cute plan.

I guess I could have it earlier too outside "somewhere" end of Sept.

No, I'm not scared it will be cold. I'm scared it will rain Chat Icon

Seriously though, that early on in October I remember still wearing flip flops last year. Maybe parents will have to put a zip up hoodie on their kids but I don't think full on coats will be out yet (at least I hope not!)

DS's 1st birthday is 1st week of September. We are doing it in our backyard.

Since you dont have access to a backyard, what about a park?

My friend's DD was born in early Oct and for her 1st birthday, she did a Halloween theme and everyone came in costume. It was really cute and a lot of fun. At the time I was 7 months pregnant with DD and I dressed up as a baby Chat Icon
