Who to Invite to First Birthday Party?

WE are having it as my home and I want it to be more of a kids party . Its only 3 hours and I just want to get pizza, cake...


1. DO you think its rude if I only invite friends with children?


2. Do you think its rude that I only have pizza?


THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

We only invited friends with kids and immediate family. I think pizza is fine. You could make a salad and also get some garlic knots. I would have some other "kid food" depending on the ages. Maybe some mozzarella sticks or chicken fingers. ENJOY!

Re: Who to Invite to First Birthday Party?

For Jillian's first birthday we had a lot of family and our fiends with and with out kids. ( most of them did not). IMO i feel that a 1st birthday is too celebrate with friends and family. You can still do Pizza at home but maybe add a pasta and some salad. YOu can have any type of party that you want.. no one is saying that you have to have a huge blowout but you can still invite more than firends with kids...this way is lets your firend who have not seen you DD a chance to see her...

Good luck

The pizza I don't think is an issue. Only inviting friends who have children depends on your relationships. Some of our closest friends don't have children so they were invited. A first birthday party is more about the mom imho because the baby doesn't have any clue about birthdays yet.

We are having a kid party in the morning, but then since the family is so big we are having family over for snacks and cake, when I say snacks like finger foods..
I do not think its rude , we are in the same boat... a lot of our friends do not have kids..
and pizza all the way...

I agree, and the same went for us. I invited all my close friends even the ones who don't have kids yet.

We are planning DD 1st birthday party now and we did more for the grown ups. My DH and I are the only ones out of all our friends to have a kid so most of the people ther have no kids.

I think the pizza is fine, but I would invite everyone even your friends with out children.

Brendan is the first baby in our family so we're probably going to have a party with just family, no kids. All of the other babies/kids we know are not related so I'm thinking of doing a separate kids party during the week for Brendan and his friends.
