I am one of those nutters who decided to rent a venue for the first birthday party. I went with the Chatt Zoo. Best decision ever! $110 and they did *everything.* They unloaded my car, set up, served, made a list of who gave him what presents, took us on a tour, cleaned up, then reloaded my car. They even gave out goody bags after a "treasure hunt." No need to make your own! I scheduled the party between lunch and dinner. Some Cheetos and juice boxes were all that was needed. I may do this every year. Best of all, the kids, parents, and grandparents all had fun. And, I got to go home with that all-important "I threw the party of the month" glow.<br>Lovin' the Blog!<br>Kelly<br>Kelly Keysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816332910231771979.post-37903100111146543172006-09-17T10:39:53.000-07:002006-09-17T10:39:53.000-07:00melinda-I wish I was more like you!melinda-<br>I wish I was more like you!<br>Juliannehttp://www.anothergrayhair.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816332910231771979.post-35009789602750877832006-09-15T11:24:04.000-07:002006-09-15T11:24:04.000-07:00I am so opposite of this that it is quite sad.

I bought a bag of assorted candy and some see thru goodie bags and called it a day!

I think you will be suprised! My friends typically go all out for their toddlers. I have actually known Mamas who rent out venues for their child's FIRST birthday. Can you imagine? Don't be scared, just don't succumb to the pressure. Your daughter will be perfectly happy with close friends and family... until she starts going to her friends' parties and sees what she's missing :)<br>Juliannehttp://www.anothergrayhair.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816332910231771979.post-67108424657554255582006-09-13T15:41:12.000-07:002006-09-13T15:41:12.000-07:00You are scaring me Julianne.

I don't remember my mother doing anything but making me a clever little cake, putting up some streamers/balloons, and inviting some of my closest friends.
