i think whatever you're comfortable with financially. personally i usually opt out on gifts and stick with the party, the guest usually bring gifts then i can wait for Christmas to get what she 'missed'.

We are having a birthday party for him on the 26th Going to be Mickey Mouse Theme. Should I wait to see what he gets then so that way I don't rebuy anything since it's a week before his birthday? @soontobemomof4 @goldhippie

My cousins birthday is November 21st, then my aunt and uncles anniversary 23rd, my uncles birthday 24th, my birthday 25th, my little cousins bday 26th, my other cousin the 30th, then my daughters December 1st! 😂 it's a mess! But we always do small stuff, the parties are just simple and cute, I think my cousin is doing a western theme for her sons 1st birthday. Which is the 21st.

i feel you! my daughters is nov 25, and then Christmas... sheesh.. But she's 8...i have no clue... back in the day when she was a toddler we did things like incredible pizza, one year the weather was nice we had a Jupiter Jump and then 3rd yr a kiddie carnival!
