We are thinking of planning Dylans bday we were thinking to have a picnic in the park maybe get some chefs to make outdoor dinner and have boats to rent but not sure because with indian families they will wonder off when the time comes to cut the cake?? what are you all doing please share.
Priya kavitha replied. Hey..all your ideas are really cool :-) I'm sure its going to be real fun !
But we have planned something different for Atul's birthday. My parents or in-laws are not interested in throwing a party and so is my dear hubby. We had a big celebration for his naming cermemony and invited almost all our friends and relatives. So we didn't want to do it again so soon. I have shortlisted some orphangaes and old age homes where I plan to sponser a days meal and clothes for the children. That will anyway cost me a lot but will be fullfilling for our parents. We'll have a lunch get-together at home with only family members.
My family had a testing time with a 1.4 kgs baby , followed by my gall-stone surgery within 7 weeks and all that. Just want to thank God for taking us successfully thro all those tough times.
Sorry if this was boring stuff to you folks :-)

Arti replied. I would say no no to boat rentals Priya if most of the families are going to be in Indian - instead take them for a cruise if cruises are offered where you live and host a party there - serve food etc. It will be less expensive, easy to track people, everyone can have fun and could become an indoor party if weather turns bad.

Hey, you gave me a really cool idea. May be I'll throw a birthday on cruise for Arjun:)
