First birthday locations?

[bowies]

I can't believe I'm already thinking about this (my baaaaaaby), but DS's birthday is near the 4th of July so we have to get things planned sooner than we'd like. Our house is not large and doesn't really handle a crowd of people very well so we're looking into other options. Any ideas for a rentable space? We went and looked into a park shelter but since we'd be in prime season we'd have to pay for a full day - and we wouldn't be able to serve alcohol. It's not out of the question to do that but I think we'd like to exhaust other options first.

Most attendees would be adults, with a few kids as well (young toddler through preschool). Hence why alcohol is kinda important.

Okay, I know you said no house, but would your yard be able to accommodate a tent? You could do most things outside and it is kind of nice to be right at home with a one year old. I am trying to think of other venues but everything I think of means no alcohol.

Backyard (with a rain date on the invite) is the easiest. Restaurant private room.

Our yard is a disaster too, unfortunately.

We did a private room at a local restaurant.

We are thinking about doing an indoor place space that We go to occasionally. They are closed on the weekends specifically for parties and events. Do you have anything like this in your area? We are also considering a restaurant or one of my best friends houses. We have the same house and yard issue as you.

We also had a private room at a nice restaurant.

We aren't close yet, but I plan on renting a room at the community center.

We got a pavilion at a park.

We are doing a pavilion at the state park.

I would probably do the park and sneak alcohol in, that is how I roll

We also did a pavilion in a park. And we snuck in a few bottles of wine.

We rented a room at a park district. No alcohol though.
