First Birthday Brunch

For Charlotte’s first birthday, we’re going to keep it super low-key with just close family and a couple friends who have been part of our quarantine pod. I had hopes of having a bigger party with our new neighbors and friends in our new home, but alas, this will be a Covid first birthday party. I’m thankful, however, that we are able to have a little celebration and won’t have to do the entire thing over Zoom. Since it’ll be a decidedly low-key backyard affair, I want to do something cute for it, and I’ve been thinking about a birthday brunch party.

For James’ first birthday, we did a fun circus theme that the kids really loved, but since this will a smaller celebration of mostly grandparents and family, I’m thinking of focusing more on the food (and bevs). We’re hosting it in the late morning (around naps), and at first I thought I’d serve pizza or do tacos and guac for more of a lunch spread. But now I’m thinking given it’s a Sunday, a little brunch party could be fun and something different.

I gathered lots of cute inspiration for a first birthday brunch that I think I’ll steal. What do you think? Are we feeling the first birthday brunch? Perhaps we’ll start a new trend lol. Is it weird to do brunch with little kiddos?
