I wanted to do a post for all my friends that have parties coming up.
Does everyone know Dollar Tree sells helium balloons? They can be $4-6 at the grocery store or party city.
Another one of my good ideas was putting everything in old diaper boxes. It made transporting things to and from the park a lot easier.
Some mistakes I made: thinking Hubby and my Dad could do the set up and decorate part of the party. I stayed home with Chase which was good but when I got there not much had been done and all the guests had arrived.
I wanted the bbq started at 11:30 but apparently someone else had a better idea. It ended up ok because I was able to take Chase around and try and get a picture of him with everyone. I thought it was a good idea to get pictures before he ate.
We didn't hire a photographer. I had my sil and friend bring their nice cameras and had to kind of beg them to take pictures for me.
Chase loved his cake that Grandma made.
I think he had fun and looked pretty cute. That's all the matters right?
Let me know if you have any other bday party questions!
It sounds like the party was a success! What kind of food did you serve? I am already starting to think of ideas for Max's party!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to wrap my head around ideas for Chloe's party as well. Did you have a backup plan if the weather didn't cooperate? I'm always worried about that with outdoor events.
ReplyDeleteIM glad you had a beautiful day for it!! HE looks like he had a blast, and thats all that matters. I had a BAD dream about A's party last night. In the dream I slept till 11 and the party starts at noon and so I had NO time to set up! lol. I mean- please- how would a mother of a baby get to sleep until 11! lol.
ReplyDeleteGlad he had a wonderful birthday!
