First child’s first birthday—carnival, open house, guests you have never even met, open bar

First child’s second birthday—smaller venue, you know all guests, still catered, tasteful, less expensive party favours

Second child’s first birthday—something at the house, family only, slab cake

Third child’s first birthday—twisty straw in their orange juice.

Sorry Chloe. From one third born to another, it will be okay.
