Is brunch appropriate for a 1st birthday?

Anonymous
My in laws will be in town next month for my child's first birthday, so I thought about having a small party. It would be DH's family and my parents so total it would be 14 of us including DH and I plus two kids. I was thinking maybe having brunch since it would mainly be adults and end with cake as it wouldn't interfere with nap time. DH thinks that brunch isn't appropriate for a child's party. I think it should be fine since with more so a small family get together instead of a typical birthday party. What do you guys think?

A first birthday is for the adults anyway. Brunch sounds great.

It's fine. First birthday parties are really more about the adults than the kids.

We've a brunch bday party for my son 3 years in a row so far. 10/10:30am and people are out of your house by noon-ish so kid takes an awesome nap in the afternoon. House is clean by dinner!

I don't think I've ever been to a 1st birthday that WASN'T some kind of brunch. At that age, late morning is really the only time that's relatively safe from nap conflicts.

WTF. This is just bizarre.

Of course brunch is fine. The kid is one. No one cares.
