I guess you a...Pats : You are too sweet & kind! I guess you are right what matters is the lovely memories that we have of that day and what Sara will feel when see the pics! And yes..till Sara picks up a theme..i think i am safe:)<br /><br />GB: Those are some great tips. Balloons..the night before..will do! Checklists on the fridge..another awesome idea! Thanks. Yup! i think the deciding of themes much before the big day only works for the first few years...thankfully i still have some years before I face that challenge :)or am i dreaming?<br /><br />Sharon: Oh! yes...I wanted to set the bakery on fire :) But they made it up by replacing each little dot and the cake was yum! Your story is TOO cute. I can imagine the smiling faces when they would have got all the gifts together! what fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824108459340880319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533245903165188829.post-85461489023712584772010-08-29T21:22:57.336+05:302010-08-29T21:22:57.336+05:30Oh nooo....I am still in shock abt the cake! How c...Oh nooo....I am still in shock abt the cake! How could they? Ups to you for insisting!<br /><br />Lovely list Prachi! I too learnt most of this by trial and error...it was an especially deep but hilarious learning curve...We come from a diff culture, and we were taken aback by the diff tune of the bday song that was sung in Maharashtra!second, my kiddo is used to the tradition of being handed the gift as soon as the gift walked in...the other kids came in bt clung on to their gifts and my kid was quite upset! I didnt have a clue as to what was happening either:)..imagine our surprise when they practically threw the gifts to her after the previously mentioned very vocal rendition of the bday song:)...well lots more stuff...but we have learnt now and the last party (when she turned 4) was a resounding success!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076881919882988962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533245903165188829.post-44688908329006534102010-08-28T20:14:53.999+05:302010-08-28T20:14:53.999+05:30always a good idea to hold the party after nap tim...always a good idea to hold the party after nap time is done when the babes are little. I love the "keep it small" rule. I blow balloons the night before as well ( apart from the helium ones---I send hubby out 2 hours before the party to pick those up!<br /><br />Themes I picked worked beautifully till he turned four. After that, he got a mind of his own and would change the theme one month before his party! Now I wait to ask what he wants and plan accordingly!!<br /><br />Hang up a checklist of activities/foods the night before--check off stuf that's been done...I do this for all parties..my friends always head on over to the fridge to see whats in store for the evening. :)GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663791299848516601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533245903165188829.post-37614963015274210442010-08-28T19:01:29.080+05:302010-08-28T19:01:29.080+05:30aaawww... even if somethings went wrong.. no one c...aaawww... even if somethings went wrong.. no one could tell. .I am sure!! You did a far toooooo perfect job.. Prachi!!! thats why you've written such a gorgeous post on it..<br /><br />Well for me.. the girlies always decide the theme... so till they know what they want...

I just had to ignore!! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
