Are you having a lot of older kids at the party? If not, then you don't need a face painter or balloon artist at a first B-day party! Also, my daughter went to a party at 1 with a balloon artist and she bit the balloon, it popped and she had balloon in her mouth so it is dangerous for that age. Also, the pool is dangerous, too. Is there a room you can rent at the complex that is separate from the pool? My advice would be to keep the party simple - Have toys for kids and food but don't go crazy with too many activities - save that for when he is over 3 and can appreciate it and have fun with it!
