A small family one is great for their first bday but to make it a 100 plus guest one to me is ridiculous. At that point it is all about the parents, not the child. A one year old is happy with wrapping paper and a smash cake.

we didnt have a big christening (under 50 ppl) so for both kids first birthdays 100+ people, catered, entertainment, we went all out.
i think DS we spent close to $10K for his 1st birthday and for DD we spent about $6K and the only reason it was cheaper because of the place we catered from
-
Yes but not going all out. -
A small family gathering,yes
a huge blow out no
-
Just with my Mom and stepdad. No, they do not remember or care. Its for the parents, not the child at that age. -
Are you made of money? How much you gonna spend on a wedding? $500,000??????

a typical wedding where i live is usually about $300k+
plate per person for a Saturday Night wedding is usually about $225pp
so its not being made of money its being where you live.
i am considered lower middle income where i live.

I had fairly large family parties for both my kids. 20-30 people, games, favors, cake. Nothing gigantic, but a good sized party anyway. But i haven't ever spent over $150 INCLUDING gifts. -
You can have a party, but it would be mainly for you, not the child. Have family over or friends, probably not a huge crowd, have some fun, sing happy birthday.

Are you serious?? Just because that's what's "expected" doesn't mean u should actually do that. That kid of money for a 1 year old birthday is insane!
