1st birthday party what to do?

Question

Well i always had simple birthday parties. Well at least 20 people my family and close friends. And we always had chicken from stater bros and my grandma made potato salad. And that was it. And my other half always had rice, beans, some things i dont even know how to spell. (cause it is mexican food) But anyways besides that her birthday is in October and i am already planning and i dont want to do separate parties because i want all of are family together. So thier will be about a good 40 people or more. I cant do it at the house to small. What should i do? Should i just do to separate parties? Help me please.

Answer 1

You could rent out a community hall. There are usually little playgrounds near the community hall for kids to enjoy and all your food and guests can be inside the hall or outside. There's one near my house and lots of people rent it our for parties and celebrations and stuff.

Book a local buffet, they can choose their own food and everyone will be in the same place.

Answer 2

Go to a Chucky cheese or similar establishment. Rent out the buffet at a local restaurant. Hotels have banquet halls. Use a church building.

Answer 3

Do you have any large public parks nearby? Although there might be some trouble with barbecuing (BBQ is very often only allowed in specific areas), you can always bring food. And with a party of that many people, I'm sure you'll get a bunch of people wanting to pack one of their world-famous dishes! Canned soda is often very cheap, especially when it's on sale. Get a few friends or relatives to bring over their coolers, and toss a bunch of soda cans with ice in there! Also tell your guests that they should feel free to bring recreational items, like baseball equipment, frisbees, etc. Besides, it's still pretty nice out in October. Even if people are wearing sweaters, it shouldn't be a big deal.

And if the park idea doesn't pan out (Rain! Ick!), then you could always rent a small party hall. I'm sure you'd have a few relatives willing to put up a dollar or two if the price gets to be a bit much, but small party halls are often decently priced, depending on where you're located.

And if worse comes to worst, then separate parties doesn't sound like a bad idea. To avoid any awkwardness, I'd recommend that you let your guests know that they'll be attending one party, but that they're welcome to show up at the second. Chances are, once they've been to the party once, they won't show up again.

But most of all - don't stress! This is your baby's party, and even though she's only 1, she'll know if you're strained and not having a good time. The important thing is making sure that the environment is a comfortable one for your baby. And if she ends up watching home movies of her 1st birthday party, she'll want to see that her mother is having a good time.

I hope this helped! Have a great time!

make them together ,  make a list of things you think everyone likes so there is no waist of money and music they like ,and make the party worth remembering.
