Birthday Party Freak Out

yes, that would be me freaking out.  this is the first year we are having a "kids" party for Carson.  i (like an idiot) invited 15 kids to his party, all 13 in his class and 2 extras.  wth was i thinking.  so far we have 9 kids, i know it's not huge but if you factor in all the adults from family and parents that is about 30 people.  it is for 2 hours at an outlet for kids/parties and such so they will be occupied - tons of stuff for them to do.  i am just freaking out about having everything together and moving everything along in that 2 hour time frame.  in this time frame we get access to a bounce house for 30 mins.  so the kids will play, bounce, eat cake and open presents all in 2 hours. i will have chips/drinks/cake/ice cream.  i did not want to go over board with food for the short amount of time that we will be there.  wdyt?  dh and i don't even really know any of the parents but we are outgoing and so is our family so i am not worried about weird akwardness.

then i invited just family back to our condo for pizza........it is going to be a  never ending evening. 

okay deep breaths.....now off to bed to dream about it more (i had a nightmare last night about the party and it was a big chaotic mess) lmaoTongue Tied

    We had roughly 70 people at A's party on Sunday, I can relate. I  am sure things will work themselves out. Good luck. Enlist family to help set up and take down.

    it sounds fun. I wouldn't expect order & people to do exactly what you plan. Just relax & do things on your own schedule.

    It IS a little stressful to have a big party.  You have to really try to relax and NOT keep everything in order, otherwise you will drive yourself crazy. (I know this because I am ridiculous about being on time for everything! lol)  Just try to enjoy the day.  It's hard enough trying to entertain and make sure everyone is taken care of.   I would just write down a timeline that you want to stick with and give yourself a 10ish min window between each.

    Deep breath!  ((HUGS))

    I know it's easy to say, but try not to stress too much.  Everything will work out and go just fine, I'm sure.  As long as Carson has fun (and the other kids too, I guess...hee hee), that's all that matters.
