We have a theme - cars - and the only hint at the party will be the cars on the cake (it wont even be in the shape of a car!) and the red, orange and green balloons to signify traffic lights (which as my husband pointed out no one will get but me).

I must admit, I enjoy planning a party with a theme but that is more for me than anything :) In saying that, I totally agree with the whole simple party at home thing rather than outsourcing everything and 'outdoing' everyone.

All our parties have been at home so far with typical "old fashioned" party food and games.

I find it easier to work within a theme and i do LOVE KIDS PARTIES. I am fully aware that kids don't need us to go over the top. They just need to feel special on the day whether that means their favourite meal for dinner or a cake with family. I am the first to admit that it's all for me.

She, like my son, has had a birthday party every year. That is because we don't have family who live near by so we invite our family friends instead ... so it is sort of like family. This will be her first party party because it isn't actually on the day, rather the Sunday before, and their are children Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131518522010494497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161774480140198164.post-14138816184142606452011-11-27T22:00:26.324+11:002011-11-27T22:00:26.324+11:00My husband just said i sound righteous, but that i...My husband just said i sound righteous, but that is the point of Social Commentary Sunday, it's my blog with an opinion.
