Planning a kid's birthday party

Planning a kid's birthday party

1. Is the child old enough to tell you what and how it should be ? If yes, include the birthday child in the party planning process. If not quite so old yet, think about his/her interests? And start from there.
2. What kind of a party do you want to have ?

3. Where do you want to have it ? At home/ indoor/outdoor play areas / parks / banquet halls

4. How many guests do you intend to have ? Outside venues have restrictions on guest count, so make sure you are aware of that before inviting people

5. Are the kids' parents going to be there too ?

6.What kind of food items are you going to serve ? Are you going to cater outside or prepare your self ?

7. Invitations and Thank you cards. Are you planning to have them ? If yes, send the invitations well in advance so there is enough time to send an rsvp back.

8. Photos and Videos. Make sure someone is incharge of capturing the moments of the day in photos and videos.

Why is my blog frozen in time ?

Well now, its not frozen anymore since I decided to post this :) anyway.. usual stuff going on keeping me busy. Thats my reason/excuse.. Has not been a priority I guess.. is the right answer. I hope to be better about this....some day..

Life without internet !

I cant imagine my life without internet , email or even without google for that matter.

Anything I want to know about .. .hmm.. closest chinese restaurant to my home, hmm.. whats the cost of a refrigerator.. where can I buy the cheapest TV.. What is the true meaning of Psyche ? Whats the scoop on Tom Cruise these days ? How good is the new Harry Potter movie.. ? Well .. Think of all the businesses that wouldnt be running. Can you imagine a world without online shopping, without online news, gosh.. I cant think there is way too much to put.

If writing letters was the only way to keep in touch with people who live geographically far from me, I dont think I would have kept in touch with more than 2 or may be 3 of my good friends. Not that I dont want to.. but its just too much to think, write, post, wait for a reply etc. etc. Thanks to the inventors of web email. Keeping in touch has become so much easier !! Inspite of this, I still do have many pending replies to send, ..and many excuses I make.. Wonder how our parents managed to keep in touch with their friends from high-school !!

How did people live before the internet ?! How our lives would have been without it now !! I think its the greatest invention ever made in the recent years ! I really cannot imagine having to live without it !! Can you ?
