My daughter will be 1 in April, but her cousins are between the ages of 2 and 10. Any ideas of a place to have her party where she can have a good time as well as the older kids?

Bill Cosby said he didn't know the key to success, but the key to failure was trying to please everyone!

I would focus on your precious angel. She'll never have a 1st b-day party again. Pick a setting she's most comfortable in. For both of my kids, it was home. Mid morning worked real good, because they started napping one long nap after 1pm.

For my kids (5 &10), when we go to a small childs birthday, the fun for them is to watch their cousin enjoying the wonder of it all. When my son was two, we did Chuck E. Cheese for friends, and had a home party for family. He was okay at Chuck E. Cheese but sorta overwhelmed. He enjoyed the home party with a pinata much better.

Good luck, and what ever you do, get plenty of sleep the night before, and don't forget the batteries to the camera!

My girl is now 21 but not a BD went by w/out something planned. Some were at pizza places, skating, bowling, gymnastics lease time too. We like home ones with a theme where we would always do a craft like soap making, tyedye shirts or pillow cases, picture frames; candles with shells or marbles and scented; make homemade trash (everyone bring an item like pretzels, m&m's, to mix and take home, pin the nose on a poster of a famous heartthrob& bring a baby pic and see match up who; do a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood (coming up with the list is half the fun)--make teams different colors if enough kids; karoake; Kemah boardwalk rides & then Marble slab; make your own sundaes and bracelots/necklaces; picture frames ___Have Fun

Danielle,

I live in League City also and my daughter turned 1 last April 15th and we had her party at Challenger Park near Garden Ridge. You can reserve one of their pavillions or the park itself is nice. Lots of trees and picnic tables. The weather is perfect then for an outdoor party and we had a pinata for the older kids (cousins) and we bar-b-qued hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids and family that attended. With the pinata and the playground equipment, all ages were happy and occupied

Whatever you do, do not do Chuck E Cheese!!!! It is chaotic, unorganized and there is a better way to spend $300! For a range of ages a large as the one you have, a at home party will be the best. For my son, we rented a jumper and grilled some things, and that was in Jan 2005. He all of his cousins had a great time.
