If you doing it in the building by big blue, that is nice a nice place for a party. We had our son's graduation party there. One word of advice, lock the front doors, we had kids wandering in and trying to join the party.

I'm so not a parent. The smash cake makes me



However, I think the Winter Onederland theme is awesome.

But since you have your heart set on the buttons theme, do it. But if you are inviting non-parents, make sure they know that doesn't mean they should bring your kid a bunch of buttons as a present. I'm pretty sure it's a choking hazard.

Congrats on your little man turning 1! He's going to be driving before you know it.

Really? That's crazy! I'll keep that in mind, thanks! And yup, that's where I mean. My nephew's 1st birthday party was there a couple years ago and it was awesome. I love the set up and his birthday's in July so we were able to use the patio too...it was such a perfect day for him I'm not sure when you went but it was remodeled last year/earlier this year (I'm losing track of time, lol) and it's really nice looking...the finishes are all really amazing. Pshhh they better be for what we're paying in association fees but annnnnyway, that's where we're having our lil guy's party

Driving?! Why would you do that to me? Why??

Oh I love the smash cake idea! Haha, it's cute...but I'm weird so yeah

I love the Winter Onederland theme too, I just want to do that same sort of party 'idea' in a few years (maybe a little more than a few) when he can enjoy things like hot chocolate, blue punch, s'mores, yogurt covered strawberries (frozen) that look like little snowballs and decorating 'winter shaped' cookies with all the kids

And I don't think we have any non-parents, or anyone that doesn't have children around them often enough to know not to give buttons to a one year old

Nobody mentioned the "In a Flash" idea....bad one? Or do I even want to muddy the waters with another option??

It was July 2011 when we had his graduation party, they had just finished the inside of the building. We were the only ones in the building when the door opened and 4 kids came walking in. We chased them out then a little later 3 other teens came walking in. We had a few words with the teens before they left. That is when we locked the front doors to the building.

That's so weird. I'll make sure the doors are locked
