I have always heard that 1 year birthday partys are for the parents friends anyways. We invited all our friends and family to my daughters first b-day and then for her 2nd b-day we invited her friends... so you have over a year to find friends for her to invite :-) lol Intend to do the same with my son for his first baby.
At this age small is better and less overwhelming. For his baby book, send out invitations and keep one, add a picture of him eating his first cake and picture of him opening presents...

you can have it with just you and your parents. as long as you have a party hat and some cake, its a party!

I am a stay at home mom too and don't have friends myself. For my son's 1st birthday we just had a family party...I have a very large family and lots of cousins. We live 300 miles away from everyone though so we had to travel for the party. We did the same thing for his 2nd birthday. More than likely we will do the same thing for our daughter's 1st birthday. It was nothing special...just food, cake, family, and gifts. My sister on the other hand has a little boy 2 years older than my oldest and has these real nice birthday parties with LOTS of little kids for her son. Makes me feel that I am not giving my kids what they deserve, but they are happy with the small parties.

Ok so you have time...join a moms group! Also if you dont have anyone to invite take your LO to the zoo or somewhere cute like that and have a spacial cake made for her ...it is perfectly fine if it is just you, your hubby and grandma!!!

Our sons first birthday was my husband,one friend and myself. And I don't feel bad at all about it. He isn't going to remember anyways so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I made him a cake and got pics of him eating it but that is all. Haven't even started to think of our daughters firs (3-12) but we just moved by family so I know we will have family, but other than that I am not doing anything big because its only the first birthday and she wont remember it.

we will probably just be.. inviting our family who lives nearby (ie.. grandparents, aunts, uncles, and his 2 yr old cousin) i have a few friends but as i work 50 hrs a week as a nanny i dont have a huge amount of friends. espeically with kids.. so it will be simple with probably just family

Hi Angela !! maybe you could have a little party with just family on the day of her birthday or perhaps arrange a visit back to where you moved from & have a little party there with ur friends kids ???

You can have a party with grandparents, aunts, uncles and close friends. That's what we did for my now 4 year olds first birthday, and that's exactly what we'll be doing for my daughters. They don't remember it and if they aren't used to all the comotion and attention it can actually be quite overwhelming for them. Actually this will probably be the first birthday for my son that will actually have any kids at because he's now in pre-school. Keep it simple and don't stress over it!
