I recently was introduced to an online company, The Chocolate Cake Club, that can help you create those moments, to be inspired, and to have more fun even if your family is busy. They call these "Chocolate Cake Moments." Their tag line is - "Products That Make Life Easier For Busy Parents." What parent couldn't appreciate that.
And while they offer all sorts of organizational tools and things for daily life, I want to share with you something they sell that makes life easier when you are planning a party. They are called Birthday Party Entertainment Kits.
Themed kits include a Pirate Party, a Garden Party, a Fun In The Kitchen Party, as well as a Slumber Party. What makes these kits unique is that they provide the activities for the party planner so he or she doesn't have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to keep 8 kids busy and happy. You still might need to grab some themed plates and napkins to match your theme, but will all the pretty stuff included, you could stick to solid dinner ware to cut down on expenses.
These Kids' Birthday Party Entertainment Kits include items from the Melissa & Doug line, so you know you are dealing with a quality product.
If you'd like a chance to sample the Garden Party Birthday Entertainment Kit, then today is your lucky day! Sue, the president of the Chocolate Cake Club is offering one of the activity kits, a goodie bag and the birthday planning guide from the Garden Party Birthday Entertainment Kit.
