For Haven's first birthday we decided to do a Skype family birthday party. So I sent out invitations over Facebook to our family members. I let them know not to bring gifts. I also told them that we'd be having carrot cupcakes, but they wouldn't be able to taste them. I did invite them to make their own carrot cake to eat along with us during the party.
It turned out very well. We chatted with family in Idaho and Texas, some simultaneously, and some one-on-one. Haven didn't have much of a clue what all the fuss was about but she enjoyed smushing her carrot cupcake all over the place.
Hope ate all her frosting and left her cupcake. There was some good thinking done before-hand so that Hope and Haven both got some homemade applesauce in their tummies before they loaded up on cupcakes and frosting.
All in all it turned out very well for a first birthday party. Happy Birthday to our little one!
