I haven’t planned a party for a long time now. I miss it…. it’s my niece’s birthday in October, so I will have to start thinking about that soon!

I’ve thrown my fair share of kid’s birthday parties over the years, and ultimately, the simpler the better – the kids love just being kids with traditional party games!

Despite all my organisation, I often do leave things to the last minute, it’s like I thrive on the pressure or something >_<

When I set a budget for a party I always make a spreadsheet to keep track of spending. It can be so easy to go over budget.
