Re: How far in advance did you plan DC's 1st birthday?What did you do for their bday

i was thinking about the party like 6 months in advance..
when it came down to really planning it, prob closer to 3 months..
we knew we had to have the party at a place b.c our apart. is very small.
if you are having it at your place then maybe you can plan 2 months in advance.
i would constantly bookmark stuff that i liked, file ideas somewhere in my head of the things i wanted to do, make etc..

it was a lot of fun!!

Re: How far in advance did you plan DC's 1st birthday?What did you do for their bday

started thinking about it since he was born!



Kidding!


I guess when he was around 9 months I remember when we got back from vacation. Getting ideas, where, what and when to do the 1 year pics. Really started at 10 months with buying things, working on invitation, invite list, etc.

Now it's less than 2 weeks left and we just have to order the food, have my MIL finish the favors and bringing stuff to my parent's b/c we're having it there in NJ

Tried to spread it out so we don't stress.

I probably planned DS #1 party 3-4 months in advance and we did a whole monnkey theme. For DS #2 I know I want to do a Winter One-derland theme. I knew that before he was even born. I will probably start looking at places over the summer since I'm off- even though it will be 6 months away.

about 2 months.

i haven't even thought of DS's party yet and it's in a month and a half. i started for his 1st birthday about this time last year.
