This year, we combined Ashlyn and Waverly's birthday party and it was so much fun! I love themed parties. We went up just for the day, but squeezed in all the fun. We wanted food to be super easy so we went with Hawaiian Haystack. We didn't pick up food until up there, which made it a lot easier. I handled decorations and food. My brother in law handled the cake and the games, but he also did a lot of the decorations as well. For the decorations, I ordered everything off
Oriental Trading, and boy, they sure do make it easy! I had seen their previous catalog that had a luau theme so I knew I would go with them for decorations. When I went on there, I went straight to the luau theme and picked everything that I wanted. It was so simple!
My mother in law helped chopped the food, and my nephews helped with setting things up. Some people brought additions which was really nice. For games, we had a water balloon fight, hula-hoop contest (to which Brandon found out that I was really good at hula-hoop contests - guess it just never came up in our 11 years of marriage), and sack race.
All the kids loved it, and the labor was definitely worth it.
Ooh! This is catchy! I never thought something like this could also be done for a birthday party. I am so happy to have come across this post. I can also book a nice LA venue and arrange a party like this for my niece and nephew, they are twins and their birthday is also around the corner. This is going to be great.
