Help! 1st Birthday Party Planning help PLEASE!
I am so stuck!
I have never planned a party before and I want to pull this off right.
I rented a room to hold the party...but now what?
I decided to just do coffee & cake to keep the costs low. Do I need more? What about games? Goody bags?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated and I would love to see pics or hear stores from your party. Thanks!!

Re: Help! 1st Birthday Party Planning help PLEASE!
Do you have a theme????
If you wanted to serve food you could always do heros and salads- that seems to be cheap...
Where do you live??
I love create-a-cake in pt jeff, they do some great work, its really yum and prices arent too bad...
I used b-day express for alot of things, I also try and hit party hardy (sometimes you can get a steal)
There is a paper outlet in Riverhead, although I dont think you save that much, if at all....
How old are the ages of the children???
What month will it be in???
Give me some more info girl and I can help you out

For CP you could do balloons, and maybe attached to the balloons you could do candy cakes???
Maybe a soft clown that does face painting????
Def. bring a cd player for some music,
How old are the children?????

Re: Help! 1st Birthday Party Planning help PLEASE!
The cake will probably be made my DH's aunt (if not, BJ's)
I will get the stuff from the Paper Outlet in Riverhead. They have this theme and right now 25% off. Plus, I am going to fill-in with a lot of solid purple instead of all printed goods.
Mostly adults at this party. Right now, it's more like a ratio of 1 kid to 4 adults. Youngest kid (besides Leah) is about 4, the oldest 18 (and up).
The party is Sunday, Dec 2nd (her actual b-day  )

Also a cotton candy machine is always a big hit with adults and children...
I know a place that rents them for 70, includes the candy and sticks- the rental is for 2-3 days, you work the machine itself (its sooo simple)

People make them online- but you could totally do it yourself ( I wanted to for DS b-day, but ended up not)
Ive seen them used as centerpieces and then somehow people attach the balloons in the center...
Bubbles are always great....
As well as a pull sting pinata

Also a table set up for art (I would buy all color wonder stuff- since it isnt messy)
Tattoos are always fun...

Re: Help! 1st Birthday Party Planning help PLEASE!
Do I need to do anything for the adults, or will they "entertain themselves"?

I did the cotton candy thing, and that entertained them 
Other than that, even when you try to get people to participate- sometimes it dosent work... People are too busy catching up with family and friends they havent seen in awhile, and/or just chit chatting...

Re: Help! 1st Birthday Party Planning help PLEASE!
That's true. There is a good mix of adults (some from further away) so maybe I shouldn't worry about them too much
