Hi everyone!
I know it's not summer yet (or even really spring), but let's pretend. A beach-themed party can be fun in the winter and spring, too.
...and not just for children's parties. What about a beach theme bridal shower? Or a "Holiday In the Sun" baby shower? Or...even a Luau for your 35th birthday party?
There's an epidemic sweeping the nation. Little to no attention is spent on parties for adults (specifically--parents).
Sure, we all want to give our kids the very best. Sure, we don't expect lots of gifts for the holidays or birthdays (even though we of course shower our little ones with presents on all holidays!). And sure, when our birthday comes around we say--no, we insist--that our SO buy us something practical, say for the yard, instead of a frivolous doo-daad.
I know that I personally am totally sincere when I say "no presents!" on birthdays. Isn't it more enriching for the soul to save up and get something for the kids or even the house?
Even so--isn't it kind of fun when someone breaks the rules and focuses on us for a moment? I'm not talking about a diamond necklace or a new TV (although I wouldn't turn those away!)-- it's the small gift, the heartfelt card, or a surprise visit that makes us feel so special. Why? Because it's shocking that the attention is being showered on us for a change.
So instead of your usual "no presents, please!" motto when your next birthday comes around-- why not instead say "bring a great summer dish in lieu of a present"-- and throw yourself (or: your significant other, your sister, your friend, your mother) a summer-themed party? It will lift your spirits at a time when you're sick of thick sweaters and extra-strength super-sized lotion.
No time? No problem!
Small budget? No problem!
