She will NEVER stop liking books :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451977 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:13:13 +0000 Springtime 451977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's party is in April, I've already got some ideas and pinned a ton of things but haven't actually done anything yet. I will really start probably in February. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451973 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:11:26 +0000 heffalump 451973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: My LO's first was a rose garden theme. I got a lot of good things from after valentine's day and after Easter sales. Sounds like those could work for you too!</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: I'm soooo indecisive. Now that LO has her own opinions, I want to use them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451969 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:08:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 451969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Even for a second birthday party I would just pick something and start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451966 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:05:51 +0000 Weagle 451966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm deciding between a garden tea party theme and pink lemonade theme. The colors will be similar, so I can go ahead and start getting some things on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451960 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:04:07 +0000 heffalump 451960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Fun, what's your theme? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451959 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:03:52 +0000 heffalump 451959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: For her first birthday I could plan early because I got to pick the theme, I knew she wouldn't get a say in that one. Good thing..... I made 97 tissue paper flowers. I needed lots of time! I go a little overboard with parties :)</p> <p>@Mrsbells: She doesn't love any colors yet. I'm currently pinning ball parties because she loves balls and especially saying the word ball. She love love loves the book sunrise sunset, but I can't figure out how to make that into a party theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451956 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:02:53 +0000 Weagle 451956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's birthday isn't until May, and I've already started planning :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451948 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:58:57 +0000 Mrsbells 451948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I get it... how about working aorund colors she likes, or does she change her mind with colors too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451947 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:58:25 +0000 autumnlove 451947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah, yeah I would wait if you want her to have a say...maybe start planning in April?</p> <p>LO's first bday is in less than 2 weeks and I haven't done anything yet for her small family party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451940 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:54:56 +0000 heffalump 451940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: But how do I pick a theme? I feel like for LO's 2nd she's old enough to have a theme that she loves. A month ago I would have said Itsy Bitsy Spider because her eyes lit up, she got a huge grin, and she would do the hand motions when she heard the song. Now she could care less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451932 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:49:41 +0000 Mrsbells 451932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you will be doing a lot of DIYS then I dont think its too early to start </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-start-birthday-party-planning#post-451929 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:48:12 +0000 heffalump 451929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's birthday isn't until the end of July and it's driving me crazy not to be able to plan the party yet! I want the theme to be something that she loves.... but the problem is she changes her mind monthly. </p> <p>I love to DIY and look for sales so I want to start planning as far in advance as possible. I'm currently pinning different ideas, but I have a feeling it's a big waste of time :( </p>
