first birthday thoughts
So as I previously mentioned, I'm in the very beginning stages of planning DS's bday party. We are looking at October 13th as the date. We currently live in a 2BR apartment so a house party is most definitely out.
As an alternative, I was thinking of having it for a few hours in the afternoon at a park near our house. We can rent a pavilion for like $100. It's alcohol and tobacco free so that's perfect. I was thinking I'd rent a clown to sing songs, do balloon animals, paint faces, etc. We're looking at 70 people (don't judge - it's mostly family and that's including kids). I checked the weather and the average temp for the last two years on that date was 65 degrees with zero rain.
DH seems leery because of weather. I love this as an alternative to renting a hall for various reasons. Am I pushing it or should we just rent a hall and call it a day? I have not a lot of options if it rains.
Re: first birthday thoughts
I agree. Even if it is slightly chilly, I find most people are just so happy for the new season / change of weather, that they enjoy being outside.

Those were my thoughts as well. DH was on the fence but I convinced him last night. I guess I just needed others to agree with me
Thanks! You are all, as always, the best!
