I put off blogging about this to avoid, "Oh, it's too soon for that!" comments. But I simply can't contain it any more. Yes, I'm one of those mothers. I desperately want to plan Isla's first birthday party. In my defense, I do just love parties and I love to plan them. I just never have a good reason to. Well, now I've got one!
Disclaimer: For those of you who really do not care about the details, stop reading. I do not care if you think I'm dumb for doing a theme party for my baby. This is her first birthday and while she doesn't care, I do!
At first, I wasn't going to go with the obvious idea. Isla was born on February 16th. Two days after Valentine's Day. But now I'm thinking little pink and red hearts would be pretty cute. And easy to do and not an over the top theme for a one year old either. Of course, since I'm bored and she and the hubby are sleeping on the couch, I've been surfing the internet for supplies. I'm thinking pink tablecloths, hot pink plates/silver/cups, red heart confetti and red streamers, etc. Depending on what the seating is like where we are having it, I might get a few small centerpieces.
Right now, I'm thinking a little pizza party at a pizzeria would be good. Kids love pizza, adults love pizza. The place I'm thinking of has a back room that is pretty large and free if you order enough food. I just have to find out the rules about bringing my own cake/food. If they are lenient with that, we just might be good to go!
Just some brainstorming here.
