Party Planner

We've planned a small family party for Jaydan's first birthday. All I can say is W-O-W!! I had NO clue how expensive this little gathering would get!! My brother-in-law was kind enough to reaffirm that it only gets worse from here too. Lovely. But, I can say that even though it's been a little stressful (I tend to stress a little over things like this) it's been fun to plan at the same time. I actually took the time to make the invites and plan to make thank you's too. We have a jungle theme going - matches Jaydan's nursery decor. Our first choice of theme was Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends... unfortunately, there is NOTHING out there!! I looked at ways to make the invites and decorations for the party but it turned out to be much too large an undertaking for me. So, we have jungle animals.
