[blparent] birthday party help

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

I'm confused.
Are other kids coming? Looks like the final answer was no??
Basically, you are as involved as a sighted mom would be. At five, kids just like to join the pack (a Cesar Millan reference) so you don't need to do much except be glad to be there.
Looks like you also asked about what to do after the party? After our daughter's birthday, we all went to a marti gras party.
Parties are a great way to meet other parents.

I'm about to organise my first birthday party on my own, and the
thought really freaks me out.  Cathy is 5 on Monday, and we are
going to have it at hungry jacks.  There will be 2 other mothers,
one with 4 kids, and one with 2.  Then there's my 3 kids.  I
don't know these mothers all that well.  Also, not sure how much
I would need to be involved with the other kids.
Not sure how a totally blind person managers in this situation?
Steph
