I don't really have anything of substance for you, OP, so I apologize. I want to rant a little bit.
I can't stand when parents have parties for babies. They're not going to remember or enjoy it, or even know what the hell is going on. It's all a guise for getting gifts. UGH. If you want to really annoy the parents, you should donate 50 bucks to a charity in her name.

My daughter loved her first birthday party. She had her friends to play with and we had a clown (with bunnies) and face painting. The only part she was not fond of was the cake. It was the first time she had any kind of dessert and she spit it out (unfortunately her dislike for sweets quickly ended).
RATT- I was always a big fan of learning toys, especially the LeapFrog ones. My daughter loved her frog (I cannot remember what the name was) but it was similar to this http://shop.leapfrog.com/leapfrog/jump/My-Pal-Scout-%26-Violet/productDetail/All-Toys/lfprod19156/cat800014?selectedColor=&selectedSize=&navAction=jump&navCount=0&categoryNav=false

Just curious, but why would that annoy parents?
I have a nine month old and my wife has already started the planning for our daughter's APRIL birthday. She knows good and well that our daughter will not remember any of it. It's just a show, but I will say things are different for us: we've waited 8yrs for our daughter and we adopted her completely out of the blue (got a call one morning with no idea it was coming, and she was ours the same day).
I digress, but reason why I ask why'd they get mad is because we plan to have every third birthday as a "Giving" birthday. Several friends of ours do the same. We let her pick out a charity or what she'd like to do to give(for instance, our friends' daughter loves horses, so she volunteered at a local abused horses shelter and asked that any gifts be made be monetary to that cause). It really is a good way to teach a child that there is more to her birthday than getting jacked up on cake and ice cream and more toys. Never thought any parent would get mad at the idea of giving to a bigger cause that Little Susie's birthday glorification fund.

My daughter has asked for donations to the Ronald McDonald House for her birthday and Christmas since she was 5, completely her idea not ours. Her school is very involved with fundraising for the charity and they actually take a field trip to a local Ronald McDonald House to see how it makes a difference. I would suggest to any parent thinking about getting their children involved in giving to a charity to possibly visit the charity itself so that your child can see how their gifts are being used.
I personally would never have a problem with anyone donating on my daughter's behalf. I think it is a wonderful way for kids to realize that they are not the center of the universe and that helping others is gratifying.

That is awesome Reber. I haven't heard anything like it honestly from children that I know. I've been to a Ronald McDonald house twice in my life and it will really make you take a look in the mirror.
All I can say is good for your daughter. That is nothing but class. Especially coming from a child. I may have to get my son thinking in this same manner. You guys are certainly going to start a conversation between myself and my ex wife about it.

Thanks. Aliya is a really good kid and fortunately for me she always has been. I would like to think that I contributed to that, but in reality she just is one of those people that is genuinely caring.
The great thing about your child getting involved in a charity is that, at least for my daughter, it helped her blossom into this wonderful person (she is now 11) that amazes me every time I look at her. She is such a generous and compassionate person that I am so proud to have as a daughter. She now is making crafts to sell at a local Christmas event (after she heard about it from my mother) to raise more money for the Ronald McDonald House and I am looking into local camps for special needs children for her to be a junior counselor at.
