I'm a worry wort too so I feel you! I'm already worried about trying to get pregnant, then there's actually being pregnant, then there's having a baby. Now I guess there's planning his first birthday! Yikes! Can't wait to see how the party goes! I'm sure it'll be fab! And what baby doesn't smash their cake?! Brody will be fine!

Brody's party is going to be great!! It sounds like you have truly thought of everything! We did a large party at home for my oldest when he turned 1 and I swore I wouldn't do it again – it was stressful! I think everyone had fun but I was so busy entertaining I didn't spend anytime with him on his birthday! Make sure you enjoy it too! I cannot wait for pictures!

It's all this stuff yes and I love to plan a party. The most important thing though is to make time for a little fun for you and Brody! I find that through the parties (i've done too many to count) I've had the best ones when I was able to not take on too much and delegate just a bit— and have some wine! That also helps 🙂

I think the first birthday party stress is pretty unavoidable. We lived in a very small house when my daughter turned one and her birthday was in August. I couldn't fit anyone in the house and it was too hot to put them in the backyard so we did a tiny party with family. It was supposed to be no-stress but I found a way to stress myself out anyway. I stayed up until 3am every night the week before the party trying to finish the movie I made of her first year. I don't even know if I slept the night before. But it all turned out in the end. And so will your sons! Can't wait to see pictures when it's all done.

I CANNOT wait for pictures! I'm sure it will be wonderful. The best part is – you have the most critical eye and thoughts towards the entire experience. Everyone else will just be glad to celebrate and hang out! xo

Haha aw, Annie...it will turn out perfectly! Brody will LOVE his smash cake, no one will drown primarily or secondarily, and you and all of your guests will have a blast!

But yes, I totally remember the wedding planning dreams. Holy cow, I had some crazy ones!
