My baby is turning 2 this October and I really don't think it's necessary to throw a huge birthday party. I'm thinking of a small gathering. Can you share your thoughts and experiences on this?

In Pinoy culture, ages 1, 7, 10 and 12 are the most important ages of throwing a kiddie party. But yeah, if budget permits you can prepare a small gathering with close family and ninongs and ninangs. You can have the party in a restaurant's function rooms. Having the party in a restaurant is nice too, less stress and less money to spend actually.
