My husband’s family has always done over-the-top birthday parties for their kids, even the 1st birthdays. While I’m not into outdoing somebody, I would like to have something cute but not overboard. Any cute ideas for a 1-year-old girl’s first birthday party?

What supplies do I absolutely have to have? Tablecloth, napkins, plates, etc.? Or can I use my own?

What about food for the adults? Without getting ridiculous. I’d like to stay under 0-150 if that’s possible these days….

THANKS in advance!

I could use some suggestions with a menu for my daughter's first birthday party on October 6th. We are inviting 22 adults and 17 kids. The party will be at our home (we're praying for a good weather day, otherwise we'll be setting up tables in our unfinished basement!). I prefer to cook rather than cater, but catering isn't completely out (except that I'm NOT doing fried chicken, beef sandwiches, and mostaccoli, the typical middle-class "party fare" here in the Chicago suburbs). I plan on sticking with a fall theme, with pumpkins for the kids to decorate, and maybe some fall decorations in addition to some "first birthday" ones.

Any suggestions for a menu? Thanks!

I'm throwing my son his first birthday party next saturday and I need the favors before then.
