First birthday

So it’s almost my daughters first birthday, we want to have a small tea party with just grandparents and aunties and uncles (that’s already 11 people), one auntie has 4 children, none of who are a similar age to my daughter or who see her often (probably seen her twice). Am I unreasonable to say that we would like her to attend however we can not cater for her children as it’s just a small gathering at home??? There will be no other children attending and I feel having 4 children there brings number up even higher and makes it more difficult

Surely this isn't real. You'll laugh at yourself if you end up having more children.

What are you going to put on the invitation to a 1 year old's bday - 'No children'?

Don't embarrass yourself.

Why is it being unreasonable to not want noise and mess? Do you allow your kids to create noise and mess?

They're all grown up.

Anyone thinking a 1 year old tucking into their birthday cake won't be noisy and messy is delusional!

OP, you're embarrassing yourself. You can't have a child-free rule for a 1 year olds birthday party.

Invite everyone or just the GPs.
