I am so terrible at planning parties. I love making food and planning that part but the guest list overwhelms me and drives me nuts trying to figure out what to do. I am not much of a games person. I like them okay but I hate, LOATHE being the center of attention so I really detest planning and heading up games and such.
I am under the gun right now... Moe's B.day is Wed. His party will be on the 14th ( I think) I haven't even sent out invites or anything yet. I want to do it at a park but don't know if you have to pay or reserve anything... and am I too late? Uggghhhh overwhelming!!! I would also like to do it at the zoo that way we could be there and much stuff for them to all do. But is that a possibility? I have to call around tomorrow and find this stuff out... then send out evites :). I really don't like those either (it just seems a bit impersonal) buuuuut when you have to wait for the last minute then evites it is!
Then I am hosting a Sip-N-See for my sister and her new baby girl Devyn on March 21st. I think that one is a little easier seeing that it is for my sister and the baby will be the main attention getter! I am out of the woods there! whew! It is all on her... I am just providing the place and fun foods.
Menu so far is:
sausage quiche
spinach pinwheels
veggie tray/ dip
fruit tray/ dip
cake/ desserts
mini blueberry muffins
punch; tea; water
I think it will just be a kind of hang out time for everyone to get to meet Devyn and mingle.
Is that just nuts??? Any advice is WAY WELCOME!!! AGAIN I AM SO NOT A PLANNER!!! If someone wants to plan away feel free and tell us where to go.. hahaha I will bring the food!
No really though; please help!!!

I always LOVE the ideas for kiddos' parties in the Family Fun mag...I would check out their site. Some local parks have 'spray parks' that are fun and even better FREE! We love Mountainview park, but it only has one picnic table....you may be able to call the city since they maintain the park. Hope that helps...have a BLAST!
call me tomorrow I love to plan parties (as you know) and would be happy to help bounce some ideas. I will say though you serve the best food at parties though!
I'm sure it will be fun- kids love anything!
What is a sip-n-see??
