Planning Birthdays...that are not my own!

I never really realized how much fun it was planning a Birthday party until I had my daughter. (And I held a career in wedding coordination and party planning for a while) Far more entertaining when the recipient is a child.
Leading up to Autumn's 2nd Birthday she was obsessed with party hats...so you can guess what the theme of her party was. Pretty easy to run with.
We found basic, blank cardboard hats. I discovered a great resource for all things girlie called Halo Heaven http://www.haloheaven.com/
I ordered vast amounts of pink, lavender, green and blue feathered boas. A crafting table was set up complete with glue, buttons, pom-poms, sparkles and each child was set loose to create their own unique party hat. I was a real success. The kids had fun creating and they each took home their masterpieces.
As another Birthday approaches in October we have already started planning this year's event. Ballet being the theme...good thing Halo Heaven sells tutus!
