And will probably out grow it by age 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1076406 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 12:02:44 +0000 runsyellowlites 1076406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I think rainbow theme every year sounds fun! It's just such a fun theme! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1076390 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:59:38 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1076390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I think that as they get older DIY will be easier to do, maybe even with their help! I like crafts :</p> <p>And I LOVE that invite but may hang on to it until DS's 3rd birthday( is it too early to plan that??). That way he can enjoy the crayons instead of trying to eat them. And I can stretch the rainbow theme another year ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1076240 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:08:47 +0000 runsyellowlites 1076240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Idk how much diy you like (I do alot to save funds) but I saw this "art party" invite (looks rainbow to me) &amp; thought it was to die for cute!</p> <p><a href="http://www.makoodle.com/art-birthday-party-invite/" rel="nofollow">http://www.makoodle.com/art-birthday-party-invite/</a></p> <p>And here's the whole party so maybe DD's party can be rainbow/"art" party with fun toddler crafts...<br /> <a href="http://www.makoodle.com/art-birthday-party/" rel="nofollow">http://www.makoodle.com/art-birthday-party/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1076215 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:58:31 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1076215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Thanks :) You inspired me with your invite ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1076081 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:02:53 +0000 runsyellowlites 1076081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a great idea!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075959 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:24:15 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1075959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @Smurfette: @T.H.O.U.: @mrs.cookie: Thanks! :) It's making me really happy now. One thing checked off my list (at least for DS): a theme! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075954 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:22:48 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1075954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We don't have a water table - but maybe she'll get one for her birthday! I love the bubble idea! The only kids though will probably be my kids and baby cousin unless I make some mom friends between now and then. I just hope thatthe weather here in Tennessee cooperates!</p> <p>Maybe as a back-up I should get some of those plastic colored balls everyone has? They're rainbow colored! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075902 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:02:17 +0000 mrs.cookie 1075902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! Daniel tiger and rainbows, genius!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075877 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:52:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1075877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brilliant, I tell you brilliant!</p> <p>For your daughter's party how about including bubbles...water table filles with bubble solution the kids can play in or one of thise kiddie entertainers that can put a kid inside a giant bubble? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075872 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:51:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1075872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a great idea! They will never really care! I saved a bunch of the decor from my daughters first since a lot of it was just hot pink. I may incorporate it somehow else into another party later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075864 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:49:13 +0000 Smurfette 1075864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see why not, as long as you make it so it isn't obvious that it is all the same decor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075834 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:41:06 +0000 Adira 1075834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see why this wouldn't work! Reuse decor wherever you can! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-party-planning-epiphany#post-1075822 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:35:55 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1075822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So forgive me if this seems pretty 'durr' but it just came to me when I was posting on the other party planning thread (and those people are totally not overboard, I commend their ability to plan and organize ahead!). </p> <p>Here's my situation: DS will be turning two at the end of January which puts us having to celebrate right before he actually turns two or a little into February because of the Superbowl (I ran into this problem last year). DD was born the very first part of March. She'll be turning one. </p> <p>We just got a new-old house this past spring so we have plenty of room to host a small family and friend gathering (about 15 max) so that saves on the cost of a venue. And I was thinking... Since they're so close together age wise and time of the year wise, I can just buy some supplies and use them for both parties but in a different way!</p> <p>My idea (thanks in large part to @yin) is that DS gets a Daniel Tiger themed rainbow party and DD gets a rainbow themed party too! Her party needs a focus so it doesn't seem like big brother's leftovers but what do you think? If I do rainbow for him bu play up the red and then do rainbow for her but play up the purple or blue or something... Would it work? </p>
