Baby 1st bday party / alcohol

Your party, do whatever you like. Nothing harsh about saying you’d rather not.
However, at my eldest’s 1st birthday party, we had pimms and summer cocktails, and I don’t see what was unacceptable about that. It was a summer garden party, bbq food etc. nobody was drunk or inappropriate.
At my youngest’s 1st birthday, there wasn’t any (but it was afternoon tea vibe and winter) but I wouldn’t have minded if anyone had wanted to have a drink.

I wouldnt mine, but would advise them in moderation as young children are there

I don’t see anything wrong or inappropriate in having alcohol at a party. We had our children’s christening in a pub and at goals so people could have a drink if they wanted. That said my family don’t get paralytic at family events.

As long as they are sensible, I wouldn’t mind. I’ve been to a few 1st birthdays in the summer and alcohol was there to celebrate. X

It’s completely up to you, you’re hosting, so it’s not harsh

We did a garden party for my little ones first birthday, and didn’t even think about saying no alcohol. We provided some fizz and beers. But many of our guests had travelled/driven so wouldn’t be drinking, and also there wasn’t anyone in particular that I would ever imagine would be getting drunk or let the littles get hold of drinks, so it didn’t cross my mind

Your party your rules!! We had booze (any excuse 🤣) but it up you

I'm with you on this. It's a children's party at the end of the day. We aren't massive drinkers any way but I said absolutely not to anyone wanting a drink. They can do that at home or at other social events.

It’s your party, your rules. If you don’t want alcohol there, you are within your right to prohibit it.
