LO'S first birthday party will be garden party themed.
I have several friends with boys several years older than LO, one friend has 4. I really want the party to be simple & classy so I really don't want to do a moonwalk. I was thinking I could buy potting soil, little pots, &, flowers & let the big kids plant & bring home their own flowers. And then maybe setting up a table outside, covering it in black paper & letting them draw with chalk & just run around outside. Both these things are messy plus if you have 4 kids...that's a lot of flowers to bring home. My question is, if you had (or have) 4 kids, would you want to be asked if the flower thing was okay BEFORE I made it the for sure plan or would you be okay with just being pre warned on the invitation that there will be messy play?
