Any gd suggestion for 1 year lo birthday celebration. Intend to do it at home. Looking at catering, deco, some simple entertainment for lo. Hmmm reasonable prices.

I think it largely depends on what kind of celebration you're looking at, and how big you want it to be. I know of parents who book hotels/function rooms, get exquisite dessert tables and backdrops etc - but I also know of parents who were happy with just a small cake at home :) At 1yo, LO doesn't need much entertainment - in fact, you should aim to make your party short and sweet because it'll be a hell of a night for you if he/she gets over-stimulated. I only had a simple cake cutting with my parents, my LO and I at home - that was enough for our celebration. But I did have a buffet lunch (ended up being sponsored by many kind people) for needy families who also have members born in the same month, just as our way of giving back to society and everyone who has helped us along the way!
