Balloon order has been placed.
All decor has been purchased. (or been delegated to my fabulous sister-in-law Krust to craft) And without getting into it I STILLLL have not received my custom Etsy Banner I ordered November 1st. Fingers crossed it shows up!
Now- All I literally have left is to buy food, drinks and a shit-ton of FOIL!
I’m trying to come up with cost effective luncheon ideas from the blogging mamaz who have already completed this 1st birthday madness. I’m not 100% on the head count- but I sent out 45 invites and most of those went to couples or even families of 4 or 5. So, we could be talking like 30- or like 100. Who knows. So I need to cover the bases of feeding everyone without losing my mind trying to cook and without emptying my wallet. Ideas welcomed with very open arms.

chicken wings – yes. hit up costco and do their platters – turkey wraps or sub sammiches, veggies, fruit, wings, shrimp and even caesar salad. i also did meatballs (in the crock pot), spinach dip, salsas and dips with different chips from Target.
