Talk to me about birthday parties.

I am pondering buying reusable plates, forks, spoons, knives, cups, etc. for DD's first birthday party. Would IKEA be a good place for this? I know it would be plastic, but I am traveling, so that is the easiest option for us, and we would be able to use it year after year for her parties... Has anyone done this??

No but ikea would probably be good. We are buying compostable, biodegradable everything from ecoproducts.com.?

If I wasn't going to be eight hours away from my compost bin, I would buy from there :O(?

IKEA is a good place for this... they have some plastic plates, bowls and cups in different colors in sets of 6 for 2 dollars each. They are called Kalas which is the word for a kids party in Swedish.

Good idea!  We used the eco-friendlier disposable options (from Whole Foods) for everything at J's b'day party this year.  It was a big hit and we didn't miss the character stuff a bit.

GL!
