Answer
I'm an April baby too. Well, I'm not sure what you're into but this sounds like a great idea:
SPA PARTY!
A few simple touches can turn any place into a spa retreat. You can do a manicure party, pedicure party, makeover party, facials party, massage partyâthe choices are endless.

The key is that you want to establish a spa-like vibe with green plants, fragrant flowers like lilies and roses, stacks of fluffy white towels and bowls of fresh fruit.

Put out lots of soft pillows and blankets as well as magazines so guests can really feel like theyâve gotten away from it all. Plug in a small electronic waterfall and ditch the lights in favor of candles scented with lavender or eucalyptus.

Tell your guests to bring a big robe and slippers, so they can deck themselves out like they would at a real spa.

Visit a beauty supply store to stock up on nail polishes, face masks, foot and nail files and hair conditioning treatments.

Renting the services of a massage therapist is a luxurious gift for your guests, and those with smaller budgets can buy a foot bubbler (mini hot tubs for your feet) to give your party that decadent spa feel.

You can even give a beauty lesson at your party by teaching your guests to make their own face masks and scrubs using oatmeal, egg whites, honey, sugar and avocado.

What are some good ideas for my son's first birthday party?

Q. There won't be many small children there, mostly adults and elderly people, save for a few young cousins. I don't really have any ideas except to eat cake and open gifts. His party is going to be at a park. Should I just do the gift and cake thing then let everyone play in the park? Or should I have games and activities? Working off no real experience as it is my first baby and my sister's child only had a cake for his party


Answer
You don't really need any games, as your son is only one. These are more for when he's in school, and his friends will want to play games. Just remember, boys with birthday parties is much easier than girls. And less expensive!

For a family party, all your main responsibility is to feed everyone, open presents, and send thank you cards afterwards. And since it's in a park, that's a great place for the kids to play anyways. I wouldn't do any more than that.

And besides, if you purchase a lot of stuff, chances are it'll be a windy day anyways. I would just keep it simple. That's the great thing about family parties - everyone just sits around, talks & eats, & tell you what a gorgeous boy he is.
