Do-Together! Include your child in gathering the decorations, paper goods, and balloons, and putting them in a special place until the party date.
If you cannot get all items in one pattern, have fun mixing and matching. As long as the colors coordinate, plaids, stripes, and colorful balloons can give a special look to your party table.
Remember, it's always wise to have a few extras.
Send Invitations
Do-Together! Your child will enjoy helping choose and stamp the invitations.
Keep in mind that square and undersized envelopes generally require extra postage; check with your post office to insure postage is correct.
Be sure to include directions and RSVP information.
Use your guest list to keep track of RSVP's as they arrive.
