DS is approaching his first birthday ....what to do?? Did people have parties - small affairs - large, just family or a cast of thousands??

I need ideas please:)

We had pizza for ds's 1st b'day & had a few friends & family over. I wouldn't say it was a large affair but not small either... Medium? maybe!! LOL.

We just had a BBQ at our place with family and a couple of friends. I cheated on everything, didn't have to make a thing on the day it was great, I wasn't running around trying to make salads and stuff on the day and was able to sit back and enjoy. :)
I made a cake with a Hundred Acre Wood theme with coconut grass and chocolate dirt, with trees made from an old xmas tree I cut up. It looked awesome, I had figures of pooh bear, tiger, piglet and eeyore on top.
It was a really great day and it was completely stress free :D
