First Birthday Plans

We’re having an “open house” vibe at our house, so all day party 10-5pm, people can drop in and leave as and when they like on the Sunday after her birthday. Means we’ve been able to separate some people 😅 We’ll do something just us on our actual birthday.
I’ve spent my life pleasing other people and then when I had my son (which was not an easy journey) I have become I lot more selfish. I like the idea of an open house/invite as above or I would personally just do something with my own little family (hubby and child) and any grandparent/person that wanted to drop in for a cuppa and drop a card off in the morning or eve are more than welcome x
I like the idea of an open house, it’s what we originally planned but then my partner said he thought different days would be best to keep people separate - we also don’t have the biggest house so lots of people on one day could be tricky! I might try and convince him that the one day is better!
We’ve had 4 birthdays this week including mine and babies / 1 wedding and Easter - it’s been full on. We did a farm day on babies birthday with food in the garden after. Small yet perfect.
It's my babies birthday today which we celebrated just the three of us at sea life centre. Like I wanted. Had her party on Sat. We had friends and babies come 12-2pm. Then family come for 2.30/3pm (after my LG nap). Could you do the same? Tell each group a time? Plus, it's not about them. It's about your baby turning 1. So they need to grow up and act like adults if they was to see your baby. If they can't do that, then don't come! 😆 I take no nonsense now in regards to my baby girl X
We did lunch and an Easter egg hunt, baby girl loved it and it was a nice thing for everyone to get involved in. Harmless fun and minimal talking all revolved around the birthday girl
My baby girl turned 1 on the 2nd of April, and on the 2nd me, my husband and our baby girl spent the day at ours just us 3 celebrating, On the 4th me and my baby girl went to my mums to celebrate And on the 5th we had her party in a hall, with all our friends + my family other than my mum because my parents are divorced (me and my baby girl are no contact with my husbands family- he’s welcome to see his family but they know not to come near my baby girl or me)
We've got a similar situation. Partner wanted to do nothing though, so he was never going to get his way 🤣 I've gone for a little outing on the actual day that the baby will enjoy and then seeing the various grandparents on different days across the weekend before and weekend after. Christmas felt so intense trying to see everyone in a short period and seemed overwhelming for little one so I said we'd spread out the birthday celebrations.
