I kept it simple.  We had hot dogs, chips, cake and ice cream :-)  We didn't have any other babies there.  The next youngest were 3 and they all love hotdogs, so it was easy for us.

I didn't do anything for the babies! It wasn't lunch or dinner time and so many of us were giving our babies diff things it would have been far too much hassle. I put out nibbles for the adults and the babies had their own snacks and then birthday cake if they were aloowed it

I don't think we'll have any other babies at Zander's party, just family and older children.  I went to a 1st birthday party recently for a little girl named Molly and all the food began with an 'M'!

We did adult nibbles: sandwiches (philadelphia cheese and fresh strawberries - yum), little quiches, sweet things.

For littler people: roasted sweet potato halves, Organix finger foods (gingerbread men, healthier looking crisps), lots of different fruit, cheese straws.

Hi,

For my dd's 1st b-day we had:

Veggies and dip
Fruit plate
Cold cuts, cheese and crackers
Meatballs
Stuffed pasta shells
Asian noodles

I think we may have had a couple of other things too, but I can't remember.  The food was well received by the adults and the lo's.  Most of the lo's were around 1 yr as well.

We also had cake, and a non alcoholic punch.  We did have other beverages, but didn't really offer them.  We wanted to keep it simple, and enjoy the party with our daughter instead of "hosting" too much.  We also had the party from 2 until 4, that way it wasn't really lunch or dinner time, and our dd didn't have a melt down from overstimulation.
