Well the birthday party is on Sunday and I am starting to freak out a bit. I have no idea when we are going to clean our house! We ordered the food although I am already thinking we should maybe order one more pizza just to be safe. We will have 19 adults not including DH and I, and 6 or 8 kids (not sure if my two neices are coming) and i ordered the following
Salad- serves 7-9
2 dozen breadsticks
Macaroni and Cheese -serves 7-9
4 large pizzas....I am thinking I need one more just to be safe........thoughts????
I ordered the cake instead of making one because i figured i woudl have to make more than one if I made it so I ordered it at Kroger, got the Dora themed marble cake with buttercream frosting....this i know we will have mroe than enough of since I ordered a 1/2 sheet.
I still need to pick up the decorations today and will pick up icecream and pop/juice boxes on Saturday when i pick up the cake.
What am I missing????? This party is definately adding up to be way more expensive than I planned but to me it is worth it versus trying to cook for that many people! I just hope everyone fits in my house okay and the kids don't destroy it too bad. Hopefully the kids will play in the basement playroom most of the time. And there won't be THAT many kids, we will have 2 one year olds(give or take a few months), 1 kid exactly Izzy's age (they are a day apart), 1 almost 3 year old girl , 1 3 1/2 yr old boy and a 6 year old boy plus my 11 year old neice and hopefully my 10 and 7 year old neice.....so I think it will be okay.
Another thing i am unsure of is do i let izzy open her presents with the guests there or do i just wait until they leave? I don't know why I am making this so complicated.....I guess I am just a bit freaked about having that many people in my house!!!
I think Izzy is catching on that it is going to be her birthday. We keep talking about it, singing Happy Birthday and asking her how old she is. She will say 2 most of the time, but hasn't mastered holding up 2 fingers. She is really going to enjoy blowign out her candles, we have been practicing that too. I bought her a cute little flower dress with leggings that I hope looks as cute on as it does on teh hanger.....
I am goign to pick up Dora plates /cups and maybe a centerpiece or somethign today at the party supply store along with the goodie bags. I already bought the fruit snacks to go in them and I just have to either by playdough or some crayons and some stickers or something.
But the biggest thing is I really can't believe my little girl is almost 2!!!!!!

Sounds like you will have plenty of food! And I'm all for having her open presents later, but the guests always want to see the birthday girl open them. T can't hold up two fingers yet either. She will say "two" and start with holding up one finger and then have all five up by her mouth. And it is so hard to beleive that they will be 2 already!
We did a lot of decorations last year and they were hardly noticed! I'd say blow up a balloon for each kid, they will be the hit of the party!
And it sounds like you have plenty of food.
I hope you have an excellent time! Sounds like a great party!
