My advice is to keep it simple...just family and a few very close friends....The best celebrations for my kids were the ones where we visited the Indianapolis Children's Museum with two or three good friends, or took a carriage ride in Indianapolis then had lunch at McDonalds. They were older, of course, when we did this...7 or 8....but when they talk about their birthdays (they are 21, 19 and 15 now) these were the ones they liked the best.
