First Party Politics

[pippaNnippa]

I was thinking about what to do for my DD's first birthday party the other day (though months away) and came up with a dilemma.

I am totally new to this- she is my first and I have no clue I was thinking just a quite do with soft play for the babies and a bit of a buffett/ booze at my house.

The question arises over older children- I have a few friends with babies but a lot of childless friends and friends with older children ranging from 4ys-12yrs. Would it be ryde not to invite the older children ? (none of which have sybelings who are babies)

I don't really want to as it will treble the guest list (and mess) and then I'd have to put on more activites for the children etc. Or are childrens parties an automatic invite for the entire family? (in this case would just hire somewhere)

TIA

That doesn't sound like a quiet do to me It's entirely up to you, your DD will have no clue what's going on and may well be a bit put-out by large crowds of people. There's no rule to say you have to throw a huge party (or any party for that matter) to make it special. We just had immediate family for DD's birthday and it was lovely.
