What's the Best First Birthday Party You Remember?
Our daughter will have her first birthday this July, and we're starting to talk about how to celebrate her first year. On one hand, it's not a day that she'll ever remember, but it's a family thing that first birthdays are celebrated with big fanfare.
So today, I'm asking our readers - what's the most special one-year birthday you've attended?

An Elegant, Women-Only Baby Shower
When I came across this Southern Accents story about a baby shower thrown with a distinct Southern-style elegance, a few thoughts struck me. First, it's nice to see a shower planned around a three-course seated lunch complete with silver flatware, blueberries and Champagne, and dressed-up guests with no blue jeans. Second, and more importantly, no guys! As a dad who has attended way too many co-ed baby showers, I applaud any inspirational ideas to return to the days of women-only showers.
Please give us an afternoon off for some golf or just a nap. We don't need to play another round of "guess the baby food" or "what candy bar is in the diaper" game, and I'll bet there wasn't a game played anywhere near this shower. Who's with me in doing away with co-ed baby showers?
