Have yarn letters to finish, no solid decorating plan, haven't even decided the time of the party! Whoops! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/3#post-1559891 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:58:39 +0000 cheert16 1559891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Posted that before I saw them over there!

It went great but I'm glad it's over :) I posted more of her on instagram </p> [attach=618/14/n3qgtk.500x492.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/3#post-1554845 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:18:40 +0000 cmomma17 1554845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: that's an amazing picture, I like her style! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/3#post-1554835 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:12:51 +0000 MrsRoo 1554835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: you're not a terrible mommy! 2 weeks is still a lot of time to plan! I second using a master list. I have one and I just delegate tasks to DH when he starts looking too comfortable on the couch ;)</p> <p>@cheert16: yay! How did they come out? We are doing Ks smash cake photos the day after her party. </p> <p>The test cake I made was 4", triple layered. She picked the entire thing up and ate it.... I'm a little concerned she'll pick it up and immediately chuck it on the ground- I can never predict how she'll react to large groups of people. Should I just buy some 6" pans and make it bigger to be safe? </p> [attach=1345/14/n3qgdg.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/3#post-1554658 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:42:40 +0000 cheert16 1554658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: @blackbird: How were your parties????

We did smash cake pictures this weekend and LO wasn't interested at all!!! </p> <p>@cmomma17: You have planty of time to plan!! There are still 2 weeks- just make yourself a master list and start checking things off!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/3#post-1554536 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:01:10 +0000 cmomma17 1554536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: I just baked my 2 smash cake layers this past weekend. I did 6inch cakes. Honestly, it seems HUGE! I'm not doing it over at this point though! :silly: </p> <p>My LO turns 1 in 10 days :crying: :crying: :crying: and his party has been moved to Easter Sunday (since nobody has to work!). I have majorly fallen off the party planning wagon and feel like a terrible mommy :( At least I have his cake layers in the freezer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1554423 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 14:26:55 +0000 AprilFool 1554423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: Everyone thought I was crazy.... especially my friend when I told her what time we would be heading around (she was staying with us) but I had to get the right spot and we had a lot of decor to organise plus a few trips home to get ready and bring food etc around. We used every second of that time, only sitting to eat breakfast. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1553001 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 08:56:20 +0000 MrsRoo 1553001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: wow, I'm glad you gave a timeline!

I have no photos since it was crazy, so glad I hired someone. All prep was the finished the night before. The party was at 11:30 and we started setting up at 6:30am and just made it. I was putting on make up as some people were arriving. It is a day I will treasure forever :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1550140 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 08:49:58 +0000 MrsRoo 1550140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @AprilFool: tell us how your parties went!</p> <p>I have a question for those of you making your own smash cakes: what size did you make it and did you layer it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1535290 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:48:06 +0000 AprilFool 1535290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: Thanks! I hope it turns out how it looks in my mind. Last week I was in major panic mode but a lot seems to of come together over the weekend. There's still a lot to do but I can see the finish line. </p> <p>My to do list:<br /> Today - Pink lemonade trial, chase rsvps, big pom poms<br /> Wed - Final printing, pick up lolly jars &amp; drink dispenser, order antipasto plate and rolls<br /> Thurs - Buy lollies for jars, finish buying plates, cutlery etc, finish guestbook, tags on milk bottles<br /> Sat - Food shopping, buy flowers, make pink lemonade, prep food</p> <p>Um I think that is it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1534099 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:40:32 +0000 blackbird 1534099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>April, eep!!! It's coming!!! Our party is Saturday. I'm in overdrive, basically. Lots of cleaning and prepping the hosue for guests (aka shoving stuff in boxes and putting it in the back room! I HATE clutter)</p> <p>@cmomma17, eh, you got time! Cake comes together easily :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1534095 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:39:08 +0000 autumnlove 1534095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Eeeeeek for sure. I put the invites in the mail last night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1534037 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:17:31 +0000 cmomma17 1534037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tomorrow is April, eeek!</p> <p>I worked on C's yarn letters this weekend and am almost done. Totally not 100% birthday related. But they are in colors I'm using for the 'party' so I will probably display them then. Meant to bake his cake and freeze it but it started snowing before I could get to the grocery store and that killed my motivation :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1533976 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:59:59 +0000 Crisark 1533976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A's party is next Sunday so I'm in crunch mode. I'm pretty well planned though so I'm not as stressed as I was worried I'd be. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1533917 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:46:46 +0000 MrsRoo 1533917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: that looks so good! I'm a little obsessed with your ombré party ;) How great that you got a student to photograph the party! We debated on hiring our photog for the party day, or 1 year photoshoot and opted for the cake smash photoshoot instead.</p> <p>Can I just say that I'm panicking? Tomorrow is April and I feel like I have nothing done. Luckily I have until the end of the month, but still! I'm picking up the supplies to start her chalkboard tonight, and making a healthy cake test run at some point this week. Table cloths and tableware will be ordered today.</p> <p>What's on everyone's to do list this week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1506231 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 04:39:09 +0000 AprilFool 1506231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonights activity</p> <p>[attach=2580/14/n2qat9.320x240.photo.JPG]</p> <p>ETA: I don't know why it's sideways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1505133 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 15:53:57 +0000 AprilFool 1505133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I say no too! I have scaled back my decor a lot!! Not enough time and energy for everything. </p> <p>I posted on my mum group on facebook for suggestions for a photographer to shoot the party and a student has offered to shoot it for free. I am super excited because I was really worried about not having any decent photos of us but we don't really have the money to spend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1504154 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:05:25 +0000 blackbird 1504154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16, those cupcakes were AMAZING!!! </p> <p>I've already got 25 people (including some small kids/babies) coming! Yikes! I need to get to the craft store this weekend for tablecloths and some other odds and ends. I'm trying to decide if i have any more decorating type stuff i want besides balloons and a chalkboard frame. I think I need to say no...ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1503554 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 08:23:38 +0000 autumnlove 1503554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crisark: I know....2013 was a blur! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2013-babies-party-time/page/2#post-1503507 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 08:03:57 +0000 Crisark 1503507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: I'm gonna be checking that out!! :)</p> <p>I have A's invites and on my calendar I listed that they needed to be mailed today....yeah not so much.
