My family is born and breed to throw awesome parties and I plan to do Phoenix's just right! I know a lot of people think it's silly to go all out for a baby especially when he won't remember but I'll remember and he'll ask questions so I want to do it right.
The first thing on my agenda was a great cake, something Duff Goldman would be proud of. I would have loved to use him, but a $1,000 for a 1st birthday cake for 30 or 40 people is way to much, even by my standards! So I found a place that sounds like they can provide exactly what I'm looking for. We are doing a monkey theme, so we requested the cake to have monkey's on it and some musical elements.
Next step was picking out the perfect invitations. Which I found via a member on a baby board I hang around. I really like them. Cute, simple and modern.
The next steps in putting this all together is still a bit blurry. We are having a few babies and some older kids, plus adults so I want to make sure everyone is well entertained. Throwing around ideas of a magician, face painter, Gymboree teacher (for the babies), Scavenger hunt, baby pools, sandbox, ball pit, and then there is a company that rents giant screens and Wii systems. My brothers seemed intrigued by that one.
The only other thing I am certain on is the party will be on his actual birthday August 1 and will start at 10:40 AM, the time he was born :-)
