Um... Im gonna go with no... Its hard to make trash cute, and I can tell a lot of work went into that party and it still just looks like a bunch of crap.
Hmmm I don't know, I get that her little boy loves Garbage trucks and cans and helping taking the trash out. But why couldn't she just focus on the garbage truck, the decorations were cute, of the truck, as well as the cookies. I think the paper all over the yard, and what not was kind of over the top. I mean it's not like you have a fire to put out at a Fire Truck themed birthday party! LOL.
Oh I think it's funny. The kid loves garbage. Go with it. He's two. I think it's hilarious. It's not something that's going to be shown in a magazine like a lot of your parties but it's exactly what would make the kid smile so who cares if there's newspaper strewn around the yard? I did a combo Thomas/Tinkerbell party when Ben was two. Because thats what he liked. It looked stupid. He loved it. And it cracks me up when I see the pictures.
Re: Hmm, Trash themed birthday party
At least it'd be pretty cheap, I guess. And I suppose if your kid is obsessed with the garbage truck.....
Not sure I'd do it, though.
