1st Birthday Party/ Double Party for 1 and 2 year old.?
My son is turning one next month, and his little cousin is turning 2 around the same time. So we have decided to do a double party, as their birthdays are less than 2 weeks apart, and many of the same guests would come if their were two separate parties. I have never had my own birthday party, I have never planned a birthday party (other than my own which never would happen) so this event is so special to me. No one seems to understand how desperately I want this day to go perfect. The party is less than 3 weeks away, invitations have not been sent out, a theme is not set, outfits are not purchased, basically nothing is accomplished. I have been relentlessly researching online for party themes and ideas. We were going to do a Yo Gabba Gabba theme with costumes, but the soon to be 2 year old may fear them. Then came the idea to do Jack’s Big music show, but no merchandise is existent, I even was willing to make the puppets by hand so we could put a show on, but no one is crazy about the idea. I need ideas, this is frustrating me to no end. What would be cute themes or party ideas? I know I should keep it more simple, but I just want some ideas. A moon bounce, snow cone machine, popcorn machine and cotton candy machine will be rented for the day. That’s as far as we got. Help!
