I do have a big family but am I going overboard? I want to invite friends that have already played a big part in his life too. Clearly I know the little man is not going to remember the day but isn't it also about celebrating us? a year of being a family? The year that our lives changed for the better?
I don't know......
Well anyway my ideas for the day go like this. A BBQ at a local park where there are playgrounds/skateparks etc for the older kids. This way I dont have to make my house spotless, nor will I have guests still hanging around well into the night!
We will do drinks/sausages/salads and have a pinata and maybe some lolly bags if I get around to it :) Mostly I just want to have a low key day celebrating the first year of the little mans life.
I have never organised a kids party before so I really don't know what else I should do. Any ideas for me? I'm feeling a bit under pressure, particularly when speaking with the mums in my mothers group! They all have such creative ideas.
I'm thinking of going with a NEMO theme as that is what is on the little mans walls (and his daddy is a obsessed fisherman!) Think blues and greens and maybe a splash of orange.
And then comes the big part - THE CAKE!?!?!?!?!?!
Think I might have to cruise the net for a Nemo cake :) It is going to test my chef skills thats for sure.
So if you have organised kids parties and have a tip or two for me please share. I need all the help I can get!

Good luck! Just remember ti save some energy to enjoy celebrating with your little man. My advice is don't try to be a superhero, delegate where possible. My dad cleaned and rearranged our living room, my mum did a fruit salad (bubs loved it) and my MIL did the cake. I needed their help coz i was preggers but also it helped to not overload me as I was already teary about my little girl turning one! Following from FYBF.
