These tips are great, we are holding a halloween party in our house on friday so there will be lots of decorations going on! xx
Hope you have a fun party Kerry.
Really good tips. I could drive myself crazy trying to do an “amazing” party . .. and then I’m to stressed to have fun! Your cake is GREAT. We played “pass the coconut” at my daughter’s b-day (like hot potato) and the kids LOVED it – I was excited to see #6 on your list.
Thanks Sarah – You’re right: parties are meant to be fun, not stressful!
