I would say stay at home. A first birthday does not need to be a huge party. We had ours at home, and got the 1st birthday themed stuff from the party store. Had food, easy stuff everyone will like, veggie tray, fruit, chip/pretzels etc. Then of course you need to get/make a cake for your little one to dig into (I prefer to make the cake, makes it more special, plus on thing my mom always did was bake any kind of cake we wanted and I and sticking with that with my kids.)

are you asking about a birthday party? If you are then I would have to say that when my son was 1 he still took 2 naps a day and got very cranky at certain times of the day. Your best thing to do is buy them their own little b-day cake and a larger one and invite close family and friends. Don't go all out your baby wont remember it any way and he will have a great time with just family and a few of the close people he knows. By the way take lots of pics!!!

Take him somewhere like the park and play with him as long as he is having fun. Then look in his eyes and say I love you so very much. Go home and put him down for a nap. When he awakens, feed him his favorite food. When he's done give him a big hug and tell him you love him again. Put aside your days chores and just be with your son. Do this for the rest of his birthdays and he'll have the greatest memories of his loving Mother/Father.
Of course the nap thing may not go over well when he's sixteen :)

Do something fun at home with family and friends. If the weather is nice where you are have a BBQ and some outside games and drinks and have the cake and stuff for the baby.

The first birthday party is basically a party for you. The baby is not going to really know what is going on. So dont spend a lot of money. For my son we just did a family and close friends cookout. He still had a lot of fun.

Take some of the toys he or she likes and make a themed birthday party at your own house. Make a cake, and get a pinata. Set some games up that the whole group will enjoy.
Be creative

Make it very small, family, a few friends...they don't understand, and certainly don't remember...save the fan fair for when they are older!!!

He's to young to really appreciate to much, so don't go nuts. I'd just stick to family.
