Make your guest list
Ok this is his 1st birthday and you want to make a mark. But you can not invite 500 people because your budget is limited. Make a list on which you will note the people that you must absolutely invite (you can not not invite Belle maman for example, it sucks!) And those you put on hold. You will see depending on the remaining budget, if you can add a few people. Anyway, we're not fooled, this birthday, you organize it for you because a year, he will not remember and he does not care.
Do a brunch or a snack, it's trendy and it costs less than a meal
You're not going to have a meal since your budget is ric-rac, plus it's out of fashion! I advise you to have a brunch or a snack. For brunch, you bring your guests around 11:00 and you can prepare yourself the buffet (salty cakes, quiches, sweet cakes, cereals, brioches, juices, coffee ...). The advantage of brunch is that you do not add the budget "alcohol". It's a brunch, no alcohol!
If you prefer the afternoon, you can prepare a giant snack with cakes, sweets, cold drinks, coffee for the older ones and some bubbles for the festive side. As for brunch, you can prepare most things in advance.
Predict 2 cakes (a cute little cute decorated) and a big basic to fill the stomach of the guests
I see you coming, I know what you want ... You want the cute cake decorated in sugar paste because it's too pretty! (For those who do not know this, we call it American cakes).
It is true that it is very pretty and that you will put your guests' eyes full of it, but it's pretty burly and it's not cheap. So if you really want to make yourself happy, take a decorated cupcake (so that guests can say "Wow, too good!) And a large cake strawberry or Opera type (finally according to your tastes what).No need to plan billions of gifts
There is no point in giving credit to overwhelm your child with gifts. Anyway, he will play with food and balloons. As much to make him a small gift. It's not like the guests are not going to do any more.
Light on the decor
Some balloons, a garland high if you want, it is useless to do too much since anyway your little devil probably destroyed half before the arrival of guests. In addition, if you followed my previous advice, you will be able to invite 2/3 more people.
DIY (Do it yourself) : Some cool ideas
If you are a bad mother like me, you must certainly have small jars of glass (those of compotes). You can stick a nice label on it, and fill the little jars of candy. It's a nice gift for the guests. (If you're a good mom, you must have a girlfriend feignasse like me who does not make his compotes, ask him nicely). I tested it, you can find my tutorial to make small jars of candy for the guests here .
