November 23, 2010

This date has become extremely important to our family. This was the date that Jared Levi was born. Jared will turn one years old this November. So the question becomes what to do? In the Parent's Magazine they have a checklist:
_ What's your budget? Be sure to give yourself some wiggle room for unexpected costs - you know they always pop up last-minute.
___ Where will you have it? It's almost always cheaper and easier to have people over your house, unless you don't have the space.
___ How many people do you need to invite? (Remember wedding guest list hell? You may need to negotiate to keep the numbers down here, too).

___ How many kids/babies will there be? Babies don't need a ton of entertainment, but you'll want to have fun games and crafts planned for toddlers and older kids attending.

___ Invitations: Will you send out formal ones, shoot your guests an email or just let everyone know over the phone?
___ Will you have a theme or color scheme? This can also help you figure out food, decorations, cake and favors.
