Ok in one of my posts a few weeks ago I told you guys I like to plan stuff a month or two in advanced. So I started planning Logan's b-day last month.
I wanted to make his invitations on my own and I didn't want an actual theme when I started planning. But as I was making his invitations, I found a little picture that I put on it, lost it somehow, and when I went to look for it again. I ended up finding the whole entire set online.
I ordered it, got 10 things for $20 plus $9 to ship it. I ordered it on the 2nd, it was supoused to be here that following monday at the latest, it wasn't. I called and the lady said "Well we emailed you asking if you wanted to cancle your order" I asked why I would want to do that and she says "well since that line is being discontinued, we only had two of the 10 you ordered"
I was mad. I did cancle it, but now I am stuck with finding a new theme (bc now I'm hooked lol). I went to a local party supply store that I heard good things about. I normally go to Factory Card Outlet for party supplies, but since it was local I went there.
The guy met me at the door, and asked if there was anything in particular I was looking for and I said first b-day supplies. He took me back and showed me like three different ones and two were Characters.
I'm picky I don't want characters, in my opinion its overdone, I like different so I told him I didn't want characters. His wift emerges from the back office with a book and said we are going to order this. It was Back at the Barnyard(or w/e that movie is called) I told her again I don't want character and she said were going to try to order this one also.
She flippes though the book and points out a jungle that had elephants on it. I said that would work, Logan likes elephants. Then she says "we might not be able to get all of it, I ordered it last time and it all didn't come, just the napkins" I was starting to get angered, why would she show it to me if she knew there was a possiblity that it would not come?
I asked her about a bear that I seen and she says "I'm not going to order that one bc we have Pooh, when ppl want a bear, they want Pooh not a regular one like this"
That was all I coud take. I asked her what the theme was called and I would see if I could order it online, she was hesitant and then told me, and me and Shane left.
I found it online thank goodness. I also noticed that they really don't have too much for boys. Its all the generic fire trucks, characters, and race cars. We are country ppl, and I kind of wanted to find country themes, but nothing. I found John Deere, but it was for age five. bleh.
Did you ladies have trouble with theme parties for your boys?
