I know I just posted something a bit ago, but I've been thinking about Logan's one year party. The truth is I just want something small. I wish I could do it in our house, but it's not big enough or warm enough. Vince, Logan and I were at G&GB house yesterday and we got to talking about it and really want to have a big party. Invite all Vince's aunts and uncles and my aunts and uncles. But the thing is my family has never been into big parties for kids. I've never gone to a cousin's party(unless they were in my class and invited me) I don't think anyone would come and the one's that would might be uncomfortable because they don't know any of Vince's family and honestly have probably only met Logan once or twice. I don't know. Logan is my son and I'm the one who decides what to do. Vince wants a big party, I don't.
G&GB also said it would be great to have it a Chuck E Cheese because you can just call ahead and reserve tables. I saw online if you want to have a party provided by Chuck E Cheese it's like $10 a kid. But his mom just said you don't have to have a party through the restaurant. We'll see I guess. My mom keeps telling me that it's his first birthday and he won't remember it so there is no point to doing anything big. My problem is I try to please too many people and now two different people want two totally opposite things. I was thinking about asking my mom if we could have a small party at their house, but I don't think she would want any of Vince's relatives coming over(she doesn't like Vince's mom at all) This is stressing me out and it shouldn't be, this is for my little boy. I only have a couple months to decide what to do. I was also thinking about his cake. He isn't really into anything on tv, he'll watch it, but there isn't a favorite show yet. He really loves his books so I was thinking I might try and decorate his cake as a kids book. I'm not sure which one. And on top of everything else it's time I start looking around for some more gifts. Hopefully we'll have some more money by then. I saw this toy at Toys R Us that I really want to get him. I can't remember what it's called, but he could use it as a ride on toy or push it or even rock with it too. It was like $60 though so we'll see what we can do. I can't believe my little man is turning one already. Where did the time go??
My advice (from someone who just in this situation not that long ago) the first birthday is for the adults basically. We have done pretty small parties for all of our kids. Always. We did Chuck-E-Cheese for Owens 2nd and we spent almost $300 on it! Crazy!! And he won't be into at Chuck-E-Cheese anyway because he's too young. As far as inviting the cousins and such, don't if you dont want to. Just invite your immediate families. That's what I would do. :) That's actually what I've been doing lol.
