I live in Houston and I am condsidering having my son's birthday party at a place like Incredible Pizza or Chuckie Cheese. I wonder if places like these are a liitle too advanced for him.

They may be too advanced for him but what about the cousins and other realtives that will be attending? It's a place that you don't have to decorate or clean up afterwards!
Also, if you tell Wal-Mart bakery that it's their 1st birthday, they will give you a small cake with the purchase of a regular birthday cake for free. That'll give the little one their own to play in!

I wasn't planning on having a party when my son turned 1, but my family insisted so we had a small affair at home. He had a lot of fun seeing his presents and eating cake for the first time, but he became VERY OVERWHELMED and needed a nap in the middle of dinner.
All the people, activity and lights could have the same effect on your son -- not to say you shouldn't do it, but be prepared if he needs an out or has a tantrum. You could recreate a similar setting at home - might not cost you as much either.
FYI: Some places, like the chain Zehrs in Canada, offer free cake for a first birthday celebration in case you're interested.

Here in Hawaii they throw the hugest parties ever for kids turning 1! Yeah, really big parties. I'm talking 4 bounce-houses and like 130 people!
Back to your question, Chuckie Cheese could be a bit mature for your 1 year old. He won't be able to do anything there, and Chuckie may scare little kids.
Just try one in your house with family and close friends. That will be less chaotic for you and less stimulating for him.
Tell him Happy B-Day for me!

I don't know what incredible pizza is but we have a Chuckie Cheese here in my area and I have been to quite a few 1 yr old's parties there and the birthday child had a blast. Go for it and have fun!

I think having a party at the park or in your back yard can be fun. I had my son's first birthday at the park with a Circus theme, lots of balloons and colorful streamers, cotton candy, stuff you find at the circus. I also had games with small prizes like a ring toss, duck pond ( real easy for the lil ones to play just pick up a rubber duck) And my sister did face painting which the kids love. What was nice is because it was at the park there was lots of space to run around and fresh air. If its warmer and you have older kids water balloons or water guns can be a fun thing to.

I think it is. For the first birthday, invite some family to the house, give him his own small cake, strip him to a diaper, and take cute pictures while he smears icing all over himself. Save the Chuckie Cheese party for next year, when he'll be walking and talking. At 1, the party is more for you than him. Next year he'll be old enough to do more and interact verbally with his "guests".

I would def say a pizza place or Chuckie Cheese is a bit much for a 1st birthday party.
I would have a small party at home and invite close friends and family.

A child is never to young to have a birthday party. I think that chuckie cheese is a great place for a birthday party for children at a young age. you might as well have as much fun with your child. So 1 years old is never to young

Probably. The first birthday is more of a moment for the parents than for the child. He won't remember any of it. Have a party at home, invite your friends and take lots of pictures you can blackmail him with when he's a teenager (just kidding). Parties for a one year old are more for the adults than for the child. Enjoy it nonetheless.

Have it at chuck E cheese when hes 4
A lot of places when you buy a birthday cake will make a small on e for the babys 1ST.
I let my lil girl have at the cake it was quite fun to watch her first taste of icing!!!! You might want to use a big bib and then put them straight into the bath though!
