How much is too much?

Can you guys believe that my baby is almost one? I can't believe it! It's gone way too fast! 

I've started to plan his birthday party little by little because I know time flies and I want things to be perfect! As far as my husband goes though... He's just questioning the fact if I'm going "over the top" with it. Which in my eyes I'm not, I feel he just thinks that because I want decorations, favor bags, and center pieces. Which are common in birthdays right? I've seen really nice parties for babies first birthday and if I can do that for my son why not? 

Because we live far away from family we chose to do the party closer to them. At first I wanted to rent a place but when I saw that my husband wasn't into it I quickly changed it to a park party. Then, he got on board. We are looking to only invite family and our closest friends.

The theme of the party will be Mickey Mouse because the little guy goes crazy every time he watches the show! I've looked at many ideas on etsy and on Pinterest. Which, by the way, are very affordable things to DIY. Ultimately I think I'm going to be able to pull it off, without spending much.

What I want to do is hear your opinion. How much is too much? What did you end up doing for your baby? Or how much are you willing to do?

We have to keep in mind that we do see all these extravagant birthday parties that celebrities throw for their children! Spending thousands and thousands of dollars! I don't expect to spend even close to one! Give me your feed back! What do you think?
