First Birthday
Anyone not planning a first birthday party? My son has no cousins (i am the oldest child in my family & my DH is an only child) & we don't really have any friends with kids! I am having "smash cake" photos taken professionally so it isn't like i need to have a party for the photos. Is it weird not to plan a party though?
Thank goodness I'm not alone! I've been feeling like such a bad mother because I am not planning a party of any sort :( we live 19+ hours in all directions from any family, we just moved here a few months ago so don't have many friends, and we just don't have a lot of money... We will probably do a park day of it and have a little smash cake. Possibly have a play date with the play group in town that we've been socializing with ;) not anything else though.
I'm throwing one for the benefit of our extended family because they want a reason to come over and shower her with presents and money lol. I also want extended family pictures! We hardly see dh's and my family together, so this is a great time for everyone to meet up ! Doesn't matter that it's not a kids party, we don't have any kids in the family besides my lo!
Not weird at all! You don't have to have a big party. Celebrate however you like!
