Our DD will be 1 in a few weeks. I would like to organise a little party for her. I know she's too young to appreciate it, but it would be nice to have a chance to celebrate her first year of life with a few family members and friends who have shown interest in her and friends weve made at play groups.
My question is, what to do? I'm thinking of having it at our house, we have a reasonable amount of space. I expect it will be too cold/wet to be in the garden in April. We'd invite some friends who have kids under 4, and some adult friends who don't have kids. Lots of them know each other so I'm not worried about people not knowing anyone.
But what would you do in terms of entertainment/activities, beside some food. Organised games wouldn't work I don't think, kids will be too young. Do we just put some toys out and let kids play and adults chat? Some music - kiddy or not? Or a mix? Any experience of first birthday parties welcome! I'm thinking Saturday afternoon, child friendly kind of vibes!
