I'm curious to see what everyone else has done to celebrate their kid's birthdays! What's the best party you've thrown for your child? Or great parties they've attended? What about favorite parties when you were little?
Last year Lillian's first was just a rainbow tie-dye themed barbecue/ pool party. Her and her 8 month old friend were the only kids lol, so I didn't need games or anything.
This year I'd like to do a storybook theme - invitations like old fashioned library check out cards and snacks like "if you give a mouse a COOKIE" and "cloudy with a chance of MEATBALLS". I'll decorate with old book covers and things.
This year she'll have more kiddie friends in the toddler-preschool range, so I'll probably pay my pre-teen SIL to do games like parachute, freeze dance, limbo, etc. We *might* do a character appearance, but probably will wait til she's older.
When I was little most of my parties were at play-places. I had one done by a woman with an exotic animal rescue where we got to hold fennec foxes and play with her coatimundi and stuff so that was cool. When I was 9 I had a luau where we made grass skirts and learned hula moves from a video and that was a lot of fun but I think I just liked it because I made it girls only so my brother wasn't around lol.
