[blparent] Planning a Birthday Party

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  Did you have parties for your family and friends, or parties for kids 
you didn't know well and their parents?  I don't mind having people I know 
in my home, but I feel a bit nervous about inviting in strangers.  How would 
I keep them entertained?  How would I keep them out of where they didn't 
need to be?  Would I need help with decorating?  Games?  Would the other 
parents help me, or would I be on my own with the kids?

Hi Jo Elizabeth.
Do you mean what do you need to know about planning a birthday party,
general questions or how do you plan it as a blind mom?

We've had several of the kids parties here at the house. I love to plan
them. Let me know what you mean and I'll help you.

Okay, so as a blind mom, I feel really self-conscious about having a bunch
of kids and their parents in my home.  But my daughter wants a birthday
party for some of her preschool friends, not just the one at church that we
usually have for her.  So where do I start?  What do I need to know?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
