My BIL and SIL I kid you not had a Mariatchi (SP???) band, and a full on Mexican Fiesta for their daughters first bday! I was like "geez, I'm going to have to hire a magician and a hot air balloon to top this!" LOL. They said they weren't going to do it every year though, just for her first. There was more people there than I had at my wedding reception!
Something fun we've been doing for bdays in our family is a montage of photos and video from the kids previous year. Just a fun way to recap their growing up! I've also done a time capsule for my son's first bday, and for my daughter, I had all the women in the family help me put together a book for her to read when she's 12, with all the advice we wish we had heard or needed to hear at that age, and about coming into womanhood and all that.
