Birthday Party - Fort Worth, TX

Seek out playgroups/mommie groups. Then, during the week of his b-day, take some ittie-bittie cupcakes & napkins with you to the playgroup. Please don't worry about throwing a formal b-day party with invites, gifts galore, balloons, etc. Children really, really DO NOT remember anything you do for them until they are about 5 years old!! ((Took our kiddos to Disney World at ages 4 and 2 and they DON'T remember. They are 24 and 22 now. AND now, is when I WISH I could be taking them to DisneyWorld.)) If you want some good 1st-birthday pictures, the "smash-cake" suggested by the other mom is a great idea - - set him in his high chair, put the cake in front of him, sing to him, and just start filming.

IMO the first birthday is all about the parents wanting to make it special... because even if you were involved in a play group or anything... they still don't "play" together at that age. I say get him a fun little smash cake... have a little thing at home... and then go somewhere like the zoo or take a train ride to downtown fort worth and let him see the cattle drive they do every day! That'd be a fun trip!

If you have your heart set on throwing him a party you should do it. Three months is plenty of time to meet other mommies and little ones. What area are you in? I organize a playgroup in the Keller/NFW area. If you want to check it out the link is http://www.meetup.com/DFW-Mamarama/
If you're not in this area of the metroplex you can find another group closer to you on meetup. This is a GREAT way to meet new friends for you and your little guy. Good luck!

I would just take him somewhere he would have fun...there is a McDonalds that is shaped like a Happy Meal Box, not sure exactly where if it is in Ft Worth or Dallas...

If your baby is 1 and you don't know anyone, why invite anyone? If you want to meet people, I'd ask the closest neighbors over for a bar-b-que. Explain that you are celebrating your baby's birthday and getting to know your new neighbors all in 1 swoop! But really, I'd just make a cake, sing to him, and enjoy the time at home. Or, take him somewhere he likes (hard to know at 1) - maybe a buffet place where he can try a bunch of new things - Souper Salad comes to mind because you can give him beats, ham, beans, etc. for him to try, that's a fun birthday! Take him out for ice cream or something, but don't worry about having a huge party!
