From tea to rockstar???

Question

My neighbor asked me to do a party for their little girl (turning 7). We met today to discuss themes and budget. We decided on rockstar theme. I had some ideas, then they called me to change it to a tea party. They don't have much of a budget, but are thinking around $400 (the little girl had cancer 2 years ago and lucky she is living today so they do whatever for her, plus an only child). They said there are 13 girls coming. They want to make it kind of a formal event and make them feel like grown-ups and then we want to have some fun later. She thought of having like wear a dress (more creative of course) on the invitations, but I guess a few girls don't have too much extra money laying around to buy a dress (not sure if they have one to start with either). She was thinking of getting sizes ad buying the dresses.

Then I thought of going to Target or somewhere and buying dresses for everyone. Then have everyone get ready and dressed plus make-up and hair done..... (more)

Answer 1

I think that you need to relax. Everything will work out. You just give them a over-estimate, and then give them back any left over money when they get back. I think that they should all have different dresses, and I think that there are really cute ones at Macy's, or Yonkers'. I think that getting sizes is a good idea! I think that you are a great planner, and good luck with the party! I think that it will turn out great!

P.S. don't forget the little white gloves and fake purses!

Wish her a happy birthday!!!
