Getting Excited

I'm such a geek when it comes to party planning! I absolutely love putting together a theme, picking out decor and paper goods, deciding on favors and activities.

Noah's first birthday party is no exception. Today, the paper goods and favors all came in. All I have left to pick up are animal crackers, a pinata and the food and cake. Online ordering is fantastic!

I found the cutest bubbles online. The tops have little animals. The monkey is too funny, as he's scratching his head!

I didn't lazy-out and order the entire party pack, as shown at right. I figure that I have plenty of red cups, and the kids will drink juice boxes anyway. And, who needs those balloons and curly ribbon anyway? Besides, it would have been more expensive, as I would have had to buy multiple sets of their prefab stuff. Instead, I a la carte ordered just what I needed so I didn't have extra stuff that I'll never use.

Oh, they did send me two sets of Pooh Bear plates by accident and will be sending me replacements this next week. I asked if I should return the wrong plates, and the customer service guy told me to throw them away. As if! My poor boys will be using them for a few meals!

Thanks for stopping by. I just got into party planning for my son's 7th birthday. He's always had a party, but never an organized one with a true theme. This last year we did a pirate theme. It was so fun! I blogged about it in April sometime if you would like to see....
I will definitely try Ceramabrite.
I have one that works okay right now, but there are a few things that are difficult to remove. I'm hard on my stovetop for some odd reason. I don't use it that often, so I'm not sure what the deal is.....
I'm rambling. It's late. Thanks again for coming by! Hope to see you again....
