This year I've got it down!! This year Kai and I are planning a super cool party! K will be 5 this year and as you can tell I'm super excited about it! So where does one go to plan a party these days? Honestly, it's as easy as a cell phone. Pinterest is a party planning play ground. Thousands of ideas, there is inspiration galore! K loves legos- I mean loves them. Lego's, Star Wars, and Superhero's (as well as any combination of the three) and he's in heaven. So, I thought a Lego party would be fun, different, and not so off the wall he wouldn't enjoy it because it's something he likes. We've already started some planning (and some serious pinning).
We all enjoy it and most importantly so does K!
I have decided to do E-vites for the party though I did make a cute "photo- invite" to upload to the event page. Check em out!
Food? I've been waffling (pun intended). I have a hard time deciding. We'd like to do the party after lunch- and have an array of snacks and then have the cake and sweets be the main event. My best friend suggested a "sundae/cookie/etc" build your own bar.That's definitely on the list of considerations. I really want to do Marshmellow Pops, we'll see how it goes.
I'm hoping to do this party very DIY. So I'll be posting tutorials on how that goes. (The hilarity that will be me trying to make jello lego blocks and a lego cake). As well as paper machete disasters and what may end up totally amusing craft execution arguments with my husband, "Not, it should go this way". All while trying to keep as much of this a surprise for K as possible. While I'm sure it won't be perfect I think we'll have a good time and make some really great memories.
Stay tuned!
