We had a big first birthday then did a family dinner (grandparents, aunt/uncle, and cousin) every year after. This year she had a party since it’s her first year in school. She’s been invited to several parties and wanted one too. We invited the class (10 kids) and a few other kids.
We’ll always have a family dinner. Every one in the family has a birthday dinner. I’m not sure how often we’ll let her have a party but she enjoyed her first one this year.

I’m planning a party right now in 2 weeks for my daughter. Her first party was kinda extra with how I decorated but I enjoy doing it. I’m not going all out for parties until she’s 5 where she can have her own friends come. Her parties now consists of all 10 of her cousins plus if my or hubs friends come with their kids. We’re ordering pizza and chicken then I’m making sides and appetizers. Her cake is going to be made by someone too. I have games and a piñata planned out.
Idk I like having family get together and seeing the kids play.

We do a few things. My husband and I will spend the day doing something fun, just the birthday kid and us. Then we’ll have a party with the grandparents, aunts, uncles and my aunt and uncles and cousins. It’s like 20-30 people depending on who is around. First birthday and bigger years we may open it up to family friends too.

Having very little kids, we haven’t done a kids party yet.

I told my hubby I was done having parties for the kids until they're in school. I'll have a 1st party for our baby that is due in June, but other than that we will just go to dinner with our parents and siblings. It's just too stressful to try to plan and then only a handful of people show up.

I’m the opposite. I feel like they shouldn’t get big parties till they fully understand. I didn’t throw my son a big first birthday, I feel like first birthdays are really for the parents and not the child if that makes sense.

We do big parties every year. We go to a playgroup weekly & my boys have become friends with a lot of kids (even not being in school) &
I’ve became close with the parents so every party has at least 24kids. That’s usually how many favors I make anyways. lol But we usually have to feed about 50-60 people. I love every second of it & the kids get so excited for their parties. I grew up with a mom who always made birthdays a big deal & now I’ve turned into that mom myself. LOL 😂
It does get expensive but it’s so much fun.

We don’t have birthday parties. Never have. They get whatever they want for dinner. Presents and cake. We did let Mr 16 have a “party” for his sweet 16. But it was just him and his friends at the arcade and pizza after next door.

We do a party we don't have a big family 20 people tops and next year he will be old enough to have a separate friends party when he can have 2 or 3 friends and we will take them to go do something fun. I go all out for birthdays it can get expensive but it's fun. And I love seeing how excited he gets when it's all decorated and everyone is over for him.

We have big parties. 40-60 people. They've asked to go to amusement parks and other things now instead of having parties. Last year was the first year we didn't have a party.

We usually do a family fun day, have a cake with the grandparents and spend that money on something fun like a family membership or a staycation in a hotel with a pool. She LOVES that

We do big friend parties every other year. In the trade off year we take her somewhere special. Last year it was great Wolf Lodge for a couple of days with her cousins. Every year regardless we have a family party since all 3 of us are in November.
