Korean mamas out there, need help with dohl ideas

[jenny]

DD is turning 1 in July and I'm doing research to plan her dohl. Need advice/tips.

-Did you give any favors at the party, if so what?
-Did you play any games? My friend did a raffle and gave gift cards away depending on an item the baby picked.
-Did you have the party at a venue and if so, how did you decorate (ie. table center pieces etc.)

So far I know we'll have a buffet, slideshow, raffle and have the traditional korean baby picking items thing. Anything else.

Here's a couple pics from Ben's first B-day party we had - ours was pretty laid back though. We didn't do any games - just did the picking of items and a couple center pieces etc. You really should hop over to the Holt Korea adoption forums - the women over there go crazy 8 bonkers on 1st year Birthday celebrations.
