[quote=Anonymous]The first birthday was mostly attended by adults. It was not really a kid's birthday. We had 50 adults and 5 kids of all ages.

We had a catered hot Indian lunch - (rice pilaf, laccha paranthas,  butter chicken,  malai kofta, daal makhani, okra, lasooni gobi, non-veg tandoori platter, raita, samosas,). There was pizza too incase any kid wanted pizza.  Beer, wine and soft drinks, tea, coffee etc.  Dessert was cake, rasmalai, carrot halwa  and baklava. We had hired a party lady and a server, so I did not have to do much.

A friend decorated a costco cake to personalize it - costco will do a plain white icing for you if you ask them. We cut the cake  and took pictures as soon as the party began because we were worried about the baby becoming cranky.  We served the food for the guests pretty much after my baby smashed her own smash cake (made from a box mix, decorated by my friend).  All food was served at the same time.

After food, we all just hung around and caught up with each other. There was a bounce house (borrowed from a family member) for the kids, and we had a caricature artist draw keepsakes for the attendees.  We had personlized goody bags for the 5 kidss.  A friend took video of the event. All the guests recorded a message for the baby. Some of my family members had created a balloon wall and put up decorations, so that was a good photo op background.  That was it. My baby was in a good mood and things went well. She basically went off to sleep after smashing her cake. The party was for us and our family members. My baby really did not care.  The cost and organization was mostly my MIL/mom. Family pitched in. We did this at a community center because I did not have the bandwidth to do it in our own house. [/quote]
