The good thing about scheduling birthday parties like this is that you don't have to worry about a whole lot. They provided the food, water, and even paper plates if you want. And we had two helpers coming around to serve and see if we needed anything. We brought in cupcakes, which I had special ordered at Target and thought were a great price {less than $1 per cupcake} for personalized treats. The only other cost was party favors. I did order balloons to make sure there was something pink but that wasn't even necessary.
We invited the friends in her class in addition to other close friends & family. Janie had a lot of fun jumping and playing with her friends! I found that I spent a lot of time talking with and greeting the adults and Justin spent a lot of time playing with the kids and neither of us took many pictures. I tried once or twice and the kids were just a blur playing, which is how it should be I suppose.
It was nice to not have to worry about planning or prepping a whole lot. Usually, I am working really hard the week or two before a birthday party to get things all ready and this time I think it was the night before, maybe two, when I realized I hadn't put together party favors! The trade off is the price and the amount of time spent preparing and cleaning... We have some time to contemplate it all before the next one!
We had fun celebrating your third birthday, Janie Belle!
