When a baby turns 1 should they have a birthday party?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. linked2mylove (205) 6 years ago

My son turns one on January 1st and I was wondering should I throw him a birthday party. I know some people they say no because it's a waste of money and he's not going to remember it... but I think I will feel a little better if I do just to honor that he made it through his first year of life...... Should he have a birthday party for him?

it would be nice to have a lil party for him with the family, but dont go all out. we had a party for my lil cousin when he turned 1...it was just the immediate family, but it was really nice.

I have always had a birthday party for my kids when they turned one year old. Even if they don't remember it you will always have the pictures.


myLot reputation of 80/100. linked2mylove (205)  6 years ago

I know I want to record it and maybe have a little new years dinner at the house ..... I don't know.... I don't want to spend too much!

Kids have to have a 1st bday party.. It is important even if it is just your immediate family. As they get older and have to do all their life timelines for school they need the pics.


myLot reputation of 80/100. linked2mylove (205)  6 years ago

true ...... and that's just sad if you don't have the pics!

Yea, why not. You could invite your family over and have cake and icecream. Im sure even if he doesnt know whats going on he will be able to tell by everyones attitude what a special day it is. Even if he doesnt remember, you will!

I would say a small family gathering, just so you can look back on teh first year, but no fuss or ballons or games, as you say he's a bit small for that. Maybe get the grandparents round for dinner instead.


myLot reputation of 80/100. linked2mylove (205)  6 years ago

true that would be good I was thinking of doing just dinner and the cake for dessert

Every kid needs to have a first b-day party! Mine to this day like to look at the photos from the party and laugh! Every kid deserves to have his or her own little cake to make a mess of and enjoy themselves!
