I took Alex to a friend's birthday party over the weekend and let me tell you this Mommy went all out! The theme of the party was the Pixar film, Cars. (This is a huge hit at my house too!)
The decorations and kid swag included:
Customized birthday banner
Lighting McQueen cutout ( approx. 5' x 3')
Cars beverage cups w/straws
Cars stickers, balloons, etc., etc.
Not to mention she served the most, to-die-for-amazing cupcakes I've ever had at any party (kid's birthday or adult soiree). I had a lemon-frosted lemon cupcake topped with a gummy lemon candy. A friend of mine went for the chocolate cupcake covered in a green mint frosting and mini chocolate chips. Unanimous review: FABULOUS!
I asked Ms. SuperMommy where she got all the birthday accourements and she told me Birthday Express. It's an online one-stop party planning resource. I checked it out, it's pretty whiz bang my friends.
But my very favorite thing was the Cars light up lollipops. Alex got a Tomater lolly. He couldn't stop playing with it, neither could I, nor could Daddy when we brought it home to show him.
Clearly I need to get out of the house more often.
Let me know if you have any other nifty online resources for planning kid's parties. Send me a comment below. I'd love to hear from you.
