I'm leaning toward a Gymboree party for DD's 1st birthday, but was wondering what other ideas you all have. I'd rather not have something here at our house. There will probably be 7-10 babies invited. Also, what do you think of a "friends party" and a "family party" or a combination/one party? TIA!
I think we're leaning towards a combination party ourselves. We don't have a Gymboree around here. We're doing a watermelon theme (since Anna was born in August) and inviting family and a few friends. As for the rest - to be determined. I've researched some cute cakes and things like that, but that's about it.
The amount of people is a bit large for our current place, so we're probably going to have to get a pavilion at a local park (must get on that).
we had our party at a park, since having it at our house wasn't an option. we hired a woman to entertain the kids (about 10 kids between the ages of 5 mos and 2 yrs) she was awesome and her routine was very, very similar to our gymbo class, parachute and all.
Wow, Carrie! Planning a first birthday party already? Weren't you TTC just the other day? lol. Kidding of course, but time sure flies, especially when you have a beautiful girl like yours!
We are having a luau theme. There won't be that many little kids there, so I wanted to make it enjoyable for the adults too. We are also renting one of those big, inflatable bouncy things for the kids to play on.
