[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say elaborate birthday parties for a 1 year old with more than 10 people are always strike me as inconsiderate to the child and alll about the parents.  Overwhelming, loud, sometimes the adults get too drunk.  I went to one with a DJ and the kid was crying hysterically.  It seems to make more sense to invest a ton of money and planning into a birthday party your child will actually remember! [/quote]

It can be done nicely.  We had a party from 11-1 with about 50 people for my DD's first birthday.  At a park with a nice playground, lots of food (for everyone), no booze.  And yes, it is for the adults, not my daughter, because she won't remember.

The most annoying thing I see is inviting kids to a lunch party (not drop off) and then not providing food for the parents.  Seriously.  I thought it was maybe a cultural thing - I am Asian and would be mortified if guests left my home hungry.  But then I asked a couple of white friends and they thought it was bonkers, too.[/quote]
