They seem so fun!</p> <p>All of those are great ideas, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-all-you-party-planners#post-2056633 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 20:49:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2056633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even if you're not Korean the doljabi is really fun. </p> <p>What about creating a crossword puzzle about the birthdaygirl to entertain the adults?</p> <p>Coloring sheets &amp; crayons or some type of less mess arts &amp; craft project may be fun for older kids. That stuff could tie into the cartoons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-all-you-party-planners#post-2056556 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 20:17:00 +0000 matador84 2056556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Waffles: oh I will check out that blog! Thanks!<br /> @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: no activities planned. No idea what to plan! I asked for no gifts on the invite<br /> @LibbyLou: yes I was thinking today how i needed coffee and water also. Was also thinking about having tv on for kids and we have a playroom they can play in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-all-you-party-planners#post-2056050 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 15:15:01 +0000 LibbyLou 2056050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned the hard way at a brunch shower I hosted- coffee and bloody Marys go over VERY well. I :heart: mimosas over everything so had very little of other beverages. We come from a big social drinking family though.<br /> Maybe cute to netflix or stream Saturday morning cartoons from when we were young? Tom&amp;jerry, looney tunes, whatever is available.<br /> Would be something to talk about and reminisce and keep any children occupied. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-all-you-party-planners#post-2055664 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:21:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2055664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One thing that I find helpful is to put myself in the guest's shoes. From there perspective is the food buffet laid out in a way that it's easy for them to serve themselves? Will guests know where to place gifts or sit etc? Once you identify where your "stations" concentrate on making them guest - friendly and enticing so you don't have to play traffic cop all day. I also like to take all of my serveware out to arrange them on them and take inventory of what else is needed.</p> <p>What kind of activities do you have planned? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-all-you-party-planners#post-2055650 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:14:25 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2055650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since, it's brunch maybe you could incorporate mini milk bottles for the kids. I think those are really cute. You can also bake sugar cookies shaped as the number one. I did that for my nephew's first bday. I like looking at the hostess With the mostess blog. They have done brunch theme parties, you can get some really neat ideas there. Have fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-all-you-party-planners#post-2054927 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 22:03:51 +0000 matador84 2054927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is turning 1 in a couple weeks and we are going to have a brunch at our home. I would love any planning ideas. I started a thread with brunch food and will do donuts, pastries, pigs in a blanket, a strata and a mimosa bar. </p> <p>So far we are expecting at least 15 people.</p> <p>I love to socialize but want to host more (rarely do), so any help in planning would be appreciated. </p> <p>No theme, just doing mint, dark pink, light pink, and gold accents. </p>
