Work with me here. When is it? Do you have a theme? Will it be indoors or outdoors? What's your preferred meat? Do you like casseroles ("hot dishes")? How many sides do you want? Do you want to do all the work yourself or parcel out some of the sides?
I could go crazy with this, you know. Just need a little guidance, and I'll suggest some recipes. OR you could
check out her blog for some ideas. Then you need to figure out your decorations to go along with the theme. Disposable plates and plastic ware and party cups (with markers available to have folks write their names on their solo cups). I'll leave the whole cake thing to you, or the grandparents or godparents or whatever.
I am a huge fan of "do it yourself" type setups or buffets (example: shredded pork or chicken or beef to use as a base for burritos). Then you have bowls full of all the condiments/add ons (chopped tomatoes, onions, avocado, corn, blah blah blah blah blah). Lots of small plate appetizers set out when guests arrive. Thinking non-alcoholic beverages, festive of course - but since it is a b-day for a one year old, ixnay on the alcohol.
Oh boy I'm all wound up now!
