A Ballerina Party?

Two months before Sophia’s 4th Birthday and Mateo’s Baptism Party, we haven’t finalized the theme yet. I know I said we’re having a Nemo Party as per the little girl’s request but you see, the dad including all the party organizers I talked to doesn’t really love the idea. They find the theme a bit odd for a 4 year old and a little girl at that. Hmm, now I’m also having second thoughts about it.

So as a result, for days now we have been trying to talk to the little girl about having a different party theme instead. I have tried bribing her too but to no avail. The dad had a brilliant idea however. He suggested that we just give the little girl a small Nemo Party in school while she gets to have a different party theme on her real party at C3 Events Place. Now I think this is going to work. (I hope!) Why didn’t I think of that? Maybe because I thought that the dad won’t agree to another party as we are already having one that requires quite a big budget but apparently he is up for it. Wow! I wonder what he ate, LOL!

So now I am searching the net high and low for a nice theme for Sophia’s 4th Birthday Party. I want something really girly. No High School Musical and Hannah Montana though as Sophia barely knows them. You may find that odd and I swear I do too but what can a mother do? She really isn’t inclined to singing and dancing. She loves ballet though lately as she has ballet books such as Angelina Ballerina and I’m thinking maybe she can have a Ballerina Party? The dad thinks its a nice idea but I don’t know yet. I wonder if I can pull that off so I’m still looking for other theme alternatives. The thought of Sophia in a Ballerina Princess costume though is such a delight and I’m sure she’ll love it and will look good in it too as she wears her leotards and tutu almost everyday at home. Getting her a Ballerina Princess costume won’t be a problem too I think because I’ll just check my favorite online store that sells different costumes either for Halloween and Kiddie Parties. They happen to have the nicest bunny costumes I’ve ever seen too. Not that I need one now but if ever I will need one in the future I know where to get such already. You should try them too for your costume needs.

Anyway, back to the party, any suggestions of better party themes? Let me know and I’ll be so happy and grateful of course. I can’t seem to think of any right now as my mind is so blank for some reasons. Hay, the clock is ticking. I need to finalize things now as I’ll be meeting with the invites supplier in a week or so.

Here’s Sophia pretending to be a ballerina by the way. You think a ballerina party suits her?

hi Jane,

ok din ang ballerina party. but i was just wondering if this party would be mainly for Sophia ba? kasi masyadong girly naman, how would you incorporate Mateo’s baptismal party?
hehe, naisip ko lang naman. =)

I recently saw some “bedtime-stories” themed parties and was so amazed at the styling. Unfortunately, I forgot where I saw them (sa n@w ba ?). The event venue was styled and decorated with moons, stars and fairytale / storybook characters – mostly mga nursery rhymes or mga Mother Goose characters.

btw, with my suggestion pala, it’s a kiddie inspired theme pero hindi siya specific for girls or boys.

Also, pwede sigurong i ask mo that the kids (guests) come in their favorite PJs or they could come dressed for a ball.

Oooh! Mia loves Angelina Ballerina too! May boys din naman like William diba? Pero tama ka, kung anong gusto ng celebrant… ;) Very genrous as ever si Daddy Jon ano po?

Jane please give us some tips naman how to keep a toddler as healthy as your Sophia whenever you can. Sobrang problema ko e. Walang ibang alam kainin ang prinsesa namin kung hindi cheese, yoghurt at grapes. :(

All the best with the preps!
