My son's 1st birthday is one week before Easter next year... How can I combine the two events, without taking away from the importance of either!?
*Note: The reason we plan on having both events on one day (on Easter), is because that is the best time that out-of-state relatives can come up. So it's either celebrate them together, or Not, and have those certain relatives not show up.
What can I do? What are my options?!

Just don't dress him as the Easter Bunny, whatever you do. He'll never live it down! LOL. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be great. Hugs!

LOL thats a situation I can relate to...my birthday is Apr 7 which was usually always near Easter so my mom would have them together. I actually don't really remember their being many birthday decorations...mostly Easter, but they did alternate plates...example: birthday print plates/napkins and Easter print plates/napkins would alternate. I always remember though that the food never was an issue, because we always had traditional Easter food, and I loved it. I remember that before dinner and at dinner time it was usually all about Easter, easter eggs on the table...Easter ham and dinner prayer. Then when dessert came out it was all about my birthday, bring out the birthday cake first and them all the other desserts as to not take away from the birthday...for example birthday cake before Lamb cake...and then dessert and after be about presents and your son. Hope that helped...and I never remember having a bad birthday experience so just try your best...he'll just be happy to be having a party and presents.

Don't stress, HappyCows! (Girl you are on top of things...preparing for Easter/Birthday already!!!) Are you going to church this day? If so, plan on having a nice Easter dinner, and top it off with a Birthday cake, and sharing of gifts with your guests. If church is not a factor on this day, have an early Easter/Birthday dinner, then open gifts and congregate with fam and friends, let the toddlers play, then the Birthday cake. On your invitations, simply state this will be an Easter/Birthday Celebration. How ideal to celebrate 2 special holidays on one special day! Don't worry, both can be celebrated successfully! Best wishes, friend!

You could still have both celebrations. It will just be double the fun. You could sent out invites that states you are having a birthday/easter dinner at your house. You could play little games like pin the tail on the bunny. Decorate the house in easter decoration and pastel colors, with the birthday theme blended in.

Hi
As your son is only one he will not really know whats going on for his birthday. Why don't you have a small party with some toddlers from nursey or day school. A few balloons, some jelly and icecream and food won't break the bank. Then have a different kind of celebration with your family on Easter sunday!

Have a small family birthday for your son on his birthday and then on Easter - celebrate Easter. The family will be thrilled to see your son without a celebration for his birthday - and Easter is always family centered anyway.

H. Run through the woods to the nearest liqour store, trade the WILD TURKEY, and, baby formula for a half flask of MAKERS MARK, Run Back into the woods, set up a campsite, smoke and, drink til it's gone or, I pass out(whichever comes first) and, wake up, call a cab and, head to DICK'S Sporting Goods, to spend the rest. (this is why My Wife, doesn't let Me have blank checks)

oh I am sure he will appreciate whatever you do. The intention counts not the event itself
