We did a large party at home for my oldest when he turned 1 and I swore I wouldn't do it again - it was stressful! I think everyone had fun but I was so busy entertaining I didn't spend anytime with him on his birthday! Make sure you enjoy it too! I cannot wait for pictures!Kristen [Playground Prepster]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17577071697448069754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153334330297597474.post-87332273405617641822014-06-19T20:45:32.216-05:002014-06-19T20:45:32.216-05:00Planning kids' parties is an ordeal for sure b...Planning kids' parties is an ordeal for sure but it will turn out great!!Pink and Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01430719311008574100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153334330297597474.post-74778315218909239812014-06-19T16:55:24.140-05:002014-06-19T16:55:24.140-05:00I bet the party will be a hit!!

We lived in a very small house when my daughter turned one and her birthday was in August. I couldn't fit anyone in the house and it was too hot to put them in the backyard so we did a tiny party with family. It was supposed to be no-stress but I found a way to stress myself out anyway. I stayed up until 3am every night the week before the party trying to finish the movie I made of her first year. I don't even know if I slept the night before. But it all turned out in the end. And so will your sons! Can't wait to see pictures when it's all done. melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301750140963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153334330297597474.post-29221758714471862322014-06-19T12:50:17.237-05:002014-06-19T12:50:17.237-05:00I CANNOT wait for pictures!

The most important thing though is to make time for a little fun for you and Brody! I find that through the parties (i've done too many to count) I've had the best ones when I was able to not take on too much and delegate just a bit--- and have some wine! That also helps :-)Sarita @ it's my girls' worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050170172865297690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153334330297597474.post-25950992185521274702014-06-19T10:56:46.206-05:002014-06-19T10:56:46.206-05:00It is all going to come together in the best possi...It is all going to come together in the best possible way and Brody will love every minute of it!!!

You totally got this and everything will be GREAT. Back in February I was in the same made you are now and everything turned out GREAT (http://shalabamian.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-party-fit-for-pinterest-hall-of-fame.html). It was the memories that meant the most so I look back and see that the stress I put on myself wasn't worth it. Can't wait to see the post-party reveal!!

I've been up every night this week until like midnight cutting and glueing and tying stuff together!! I feel like I have a lot done but I also feel like I still have so much left to do. I'm so scared of rain and the 10 day forecast is saying afternoon thunderstorms :( I'm going to cry so hard if I have to have the party inside and I also have no idea what I will do with all the kids!!

People watch their kids. It's going to be okay! Kiernan was not a fan of the HBD song (she didn't cry, just looked bewildered) and she didn't know what to think of her cake at all. It was pretty funny :) Your party's going to be great -- I can't wait to hear/read all about it!Sara {Rhapsody and Chaos}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09824996048264979275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153334330297597474.post-4784049111852236842014-06-19T06:26:53.295-05:002014-06-19T06:26:53.295-05:00Girl, I love party planning but it's no joke! ...Girl, I love party planning but it's no joke!
