yes... i have to come to terms with the fact that Andrew is going to be 1!!!!! i just can't believe how fast the year flew by...
so i HAVE to get his bday invites out like a week ago!!! i'm going to have a friend design it for me b/c, well, i just don't have the time. i wanted to do a carnival theme, but can't b/c this other girl is totally going to outdo andrew's party b/c she's doing the same thing. i mean she's renting tents, bouncy things, hiring clowns and other characters... YES FOR A 1 YEAR OLD!
anyway... so b/c i don't have a theme (yet) what do you think about the invite have 2 pictures on it... one of a cupcake cake and one of andrew then it saying something like, [pic of cupcake] + [pic of andrew] = ... well, you'll just have to come to find out! STUPID????
my brain is fried so, i don't know... tell me the idea is stupid if you think it is...
other theme ideas: Candyland, Trains (his room is train theme), baby einstein caterpillar thingy or Dr. Suess? i read dr. suess to them a lot.
PLEASE help me plan this party!!!
Re: anyone wanna help with bday invite???
I like the Dr. Seuss idea and think you could do it fairly easily/cheap. Here's some websites that have some great ideas:

I also like the Dr. Seuss theme. One of the foodie blogs I follow did a Dr. Seuss birthday for her son and it was AMAZING.

They're just so cute! I don't even like whoopie pies or boston creme pie, and I still want to make them.

OMG I LOVE THAT DR SUESS PAGE!!! Ok, so after thinking for a while about this, I've decided that I'm going to save this Dr. Suess party for Noah. He understand Dr. Suess a bit better and it would be more suitable for his age. I think I'm going to try a Little Einstein theme.
Now who wants to help me? lol... i really don't like planning these parties.
I love planning parties! I just did a quick google search, but here's a bunch of ideas for the Baby Einstein theme.
Here is a party that used that theme, if you want a few more ideas. I think she went with a more general Baby Einstein theme though.
I still can't believe he's almost one!!
