Hi! We've been to several parties in the last year but I can't really think what's best to do about the cake. So soft play party in a local pub on a Sunday morning (his actual birthday), followed by family joining us for a carvery at the same place after. So obviously cake and candles for his friends to sing to him. Then...divide cake up for eating there and then? Or taking a piece home? Or do something different for them to take home (e.g. a biscuit with the same theme). Then...reuse the cake for family? Or just have a different family cake?!
I realise I'm totally overthinking a very small issue, and I'm very grateful we are able to give him a party. He will be 5; this will be his first party; we aren't doing party bags (I hate plastic rubbish!), but have disney books to give. I am determined to make him a homemade cake every year but this could be the family cake, and then I could buy a different one for friends. Sooo... any tips (other than just stop being a worry wart!!). Thanks!!
