Number one its at 9:30am.
Its only an hour and a half long.
I literally put 9:30am to 11am on the invitation.
I want you all to know, I dont want you at my house all day.
Im giving you a set time.
And yeah, the end time yo leave my house on time, my child needs to nap.
Its at 9:30 in the morning, c’mon eat breakfast before you come.
I will have some snacks and thats it.

Im not doing games.
Im not doing anything, really.
Ill put the Pickler triangle and the trampoline up outside and thatll be that.
Were not doing games.
I am not spending money on this.
Were doing a Harry Potter-themed birthday party for her.
Her name is Hazel Paige, so HP.
Im a big Harry Potter nerd, like its a whole thing.
And then I said if you feel inclined to bring something, consider $5.
Because were trying to remodel our backyard.
We need to redo… Our backyard is a train wreck.
Bring us five bucks to help us redo our backyard.
Thats what were asking.
But she does not need anything.
And I am very picky.
I dont want you to buy s**t for my kids.

Also, were not serving alcohol.
I know its pretty normal to serve booze at kids birthday parties these days.
Like, we did it our sons first birthday party and second birthday party.
We had a frickin taco bar and margaritas for our sons 2nd birthday party.
But we dont drink.
So we do that for other people.
But its 9:30 in the morning.
Im not even going to buy champagne.
There will be juice.

And Im not doing cake.
It is, again, 9:30 in the morning.
My son is a no-red-dye kid.
I think he might have an allergy to it.
Yeah, thats what were doing, because shes not gonna remember it.
She doesnt need anything.
Just asnaming conventionsare different from place to place, so are the ways we celebrate.
As Rachel mentions in this TikTok, a one-year-old will really not remember any of this.
Some might ask why have a party at all, but why not?
Its just a nice excuse to socialize, have some food and just enjoy ones time.
This is why Rachels party-plan makes so much more sense, as its designed around the parents.
Commenters had a lot to say
