First birthday party
My daughter is turning 1 next month and I was planning a big party with balloons cake and maybe a piñata but then I realized that I just have like 2 friends and none of my family lives here. I don’t know if I still should do the party or do something else. To be honest is kind of sad

I’m in the same boat. We’re inviting our few friends, and I decided to create a zoom link so the family out of province can participate in singing happy birthday and watch him eat the cake
@Stephanie thank you so much for your message ! It made me feel so much better! 💕 I’ll definitely throw a party with everything I was planning.
@Kristen that’s a good idea, I’ll do a zoom with them too so at least they can sing her happy birthday. Thank you !
I'm so glad to hear it brought peace to you; your little girl is very blessed to have such a thoughtful and intentional mama. Have the best 1st birthday with your little one and loved ones!

Congratulations on your little ones 1st birthday, that's a very exciting milestone and absolutely a day that will be filled with memories that led you all to reach that day ❤️ I'd say absolutely throw your daughter a party, it sounds like just from asking this question you deeply care about her happiness. My only formal "advice" would be to remind yourself she won't really remember the celebration at this age on the day of, but she will get to look back at all the love surrounding her in the pictures or videos that capture your family and 2 friends. Circumstances always change, but the celebration of life for your little one is always going to be a constant with or without groups of peers.. so go out with the balloons, watch her tap or hit the Piñata with delight and cheer her on knowing you did that. You brought her into your life and bring the smiles and laughter she now knows. Warmest and happiest birthday wishes to your little one and the celebration of life and adding more to those she encounters
