I already found some cute stuff on Pinterest. I might do pink giraffes (her room is grey and yellow with giraffes, my baby shower was giraffes) or I saw a cute brown bear, brown bear theme that I might run with. Our apt is tiny though and no chance of doing it in the backyard, so we will probably ask the il's if we can use their house.
A cake with giraffe spots would be super easy to do.
GeekBeagle uh, two hours is short for a first birthday party for your social circle?
Maybe not? I just thought it was short for a party in general when that much effort went into it. I'm used to people in that group showing up to stuff an hour late and then staying for several hours. I've only been to two first birthday parties and the first one was maybe four hours at a park. Obviously that shows what I know about baby birthday parties.
We will probably have something for family at my in-laws place since that is about 2 hours closer to my parents and sister if they want to join. I don't think we'll do a theme unless my MIL wants to do something. She'll probably make him Vegan cake, lol. So maybe a very vegan birthday can be the theme.

I thought about doing Mickey Mouse's One-derland since DD also love MMCH. We thought about having it at our house but we have a huge family even if we just invite immediate family. So I may do a pizza place with a room order a few pizza and pitcher of drinks and call it a day. This also depends on the weather when DD was born it was a foot of snow on the ground. I have definitely been cruising Pinterest and Etsy. 6 months may seem far away but who are we kidding ladies this 6 months has flown by.

That's short for me too. As someone said: all that effort and $, I want time to enjoy it and visit. I guess I mean a family/close friends party. Not a kid friend bd party. Plus, my family never does anything quickly. They are like molasses in January.
I have no idea what we will end up doing for DD's birthday. My dads birthday is the day before so we will likely end up doing a combined family party. I figure I will have to throw her a Pinterest-perfect party for years once she starts school, I plan on holding off on that as long as I can. Children's parties are so damned competitive around here I am sure I will dread her birthdays as she gets older.
ETA: I have seen a pink ombré cake I loved osumegs and will have that for her cake smash/1st birthday photos!
