Amélie will soon be turning 5 years old. As she early on has expressed a wish to celebrate her big day with all her best friends, her family, all her other friends, class mates and the rest of the world there has been a few discussions. But in the end we have managed to narrow the list down to a few friends and class mates.
With the guest list ready the birthday party planning can start. I was thinking of going for the easy (if there is such a thing in this matter) option with a rented hall and a professional entertainer that ensures that the children will be entertained from the beginning to the end. It works, and it is easy. All you have to do is to show up with party food and gift bags.
But at the same time it’s hard to let go of the childhood dream birthday party. With party games, hotdogs (yes, that’s party food for children in Norway), strawberry jelly and vanilla sauce for dessert. And the birthday cake! Homemade cream cake decorated with strawberries, blueberries and candles. The venue would be decorated with balloons and fresh flowers and Norwegian table flags.

While dreaming away I’m surfing the net for themed princess party decoration whilst deciding on Mr.Brilliant or Mr.Fantastic.
