Much to my dismay, Macy has discovered - and become obsessed with - SpongeBob Square Pants. (I thought he was so 1999!?) Not even iCarly could dissuade her from having a SpongeBob birthday party in a few weeks. You can't understand how much I want to throw up a little in my mouth looking at buck-teeth, yellow sponge-themed decorations. But, as I keep reminding myself, it's her birthday.
My saving grace through all of this is the fact that we're compacting so, technically, we can't buy all sorts of cheap, tacky SpongeBob crap. Hooray!
Last weekend Macy and I - okay, mostly I - made invitations. With some borrowed graphics and a little PhotoShop, we ended up with some cute invitations. We used construction paper and envelopes that we had on hand, so all I paid for was stamps.
We decided to keep this party small and invited 7 girls. As such, we'll be able to use real plates and napkins. Maybe I'll even get crafty and find some SpongeBob fabric to make themed cloth napkins. I thought about buying SpongeBob cups so the girls didn't have to use our giant, heavy glasses, but I just had a light bulb moment and think I'll use some of our jelly jars instead. I just need to come up with some decorations using thrifted materials or something we have on hand, and some party favors.
Any ideas?
