An insane amount of creative ideas
I’ve had a little break from birthday parties, but there are a couple right around the corner now. Before my son celebrates his 3rd birthday, it might be a good idea to blog his 2nd birthday. It hit at a really busy time last year and I just didn’t get a chance to get the [...]
After making my son’s special baptism invitation, I wanted to carry the theme through to our dinner celebration after the baptism. At first I wanted to do a Book of Mormon mystery menu, like my sister had done before. BSB vetoed it on the grounds that it would be a lot of work to serve, [...]
My son has had some pretty cool birthday parties in the past. While the robot, pirate and rocket parties were huge successes, I wanted this year to be a little different. Partly because the thought of a dozen 7 year old boys wreaking havoc in my home wasn’t appealing, and partly because my husband begged me to [...]
Saturday is US Constitution Day! Didn’t you know that? It must be a big holiday, because my children are allowed to trade in their school uniforms for patriotic red, white, and blue garb tomorrow! So I’m going a little patriotic today, too. We hosted a combined birthday party at my house a while back for [...]
Aa is for Alec So what if he was going on 15 months, Alec finally had his first birthday party, full of A’s B’s and C’s (and other alphabet letters, too)! A little hard to see in these pics, but the white letter banner spells “Happy 1st Birthday Alec” Bb is for ball Contrary to this [...]
Do you remember this guy? He was the centerpiece and focal point of my son’s robot birthday party last fall. I planned to explain the construction of the cake stand back then, but struggled to figure out the best way to do it. I had Boy Scout Barry help me film a video tutorial, but between [...]
While there is no shortage of frothy, frilly girl parties to drool over all around the land of blog, I am often asked for more ideas for the some-times forgotten boys–especially as they get a little older. My sister has four boys and has thrown them some amazing parties (see here and here). She has [...]
The votes have been tallied, the people have spoken and now it is time to announce the winners and prizes of the 3rd Annual Blogiversary party party! Big thanks to our judges, sponsors, and all of our participants. After 682 votes…the party of the year (2010) is… The Classic Boy Campout Party by Lisa from [...]
It is interesting to see which trends manifest themselves each year at the party party! A year or two ago it seemed like everyone (including me) was throwing pirate parties. This year the big party trend was Legos! There were at least 4 (did I miss anyone?) lego parties linked up this year. This is [...]
Wow! You guys made judging tough this year! I’m so glad I called in the pros to help. There were more than twice the entrants than we had last year. They were all amazing. I’m so excited to see so many of you taking delight in doing something memorable for the ones you love! Your [...]
