Some people are in their element when they organise their child’s birthday party. Inspired by their child’s favourite soft toy or tv programme, their creativity knows no bounds. I’ve been to Mario parties where I might as well have walked through my tv screen. These mummy’s think of everything. Every square inch of their lounge or hired hall is decorated, all the food is themed, and the birthday boy or girl is trussed up in a homemade outfit that would make Kirstie Allsopp proud. Sickeningly these parties usually the brainchild of one very dedicated mummy and her trusty craft kit. She makes it all look so effortless.

For the rest of mere mortals, a child’s birthday is months of worrying and a last-minute dash to the supermarket. We’re just proud that we remembered to pop the right time and venue on the invitations and that other children actually turned up to wish our little one’s a happy birthday. We’re the sort of parents that forget all about paper plates, napkins, and cupcakes. Our spread consists of cocktail sausages ceremoniously dumped in a Pyrex dish, hastily made sarnies, and a few packets of Wotsits. We’ve gone ahead and booked a DJ that someone has recommended on Facebook and have our fingers crossed that this will keep the kids entertained until the two hours are up.

But now, I’ve discovered a website that promises to take all the stress away and help you create the ultimate themed party table - whatever the occasion - Neviti!

A Lazy Mother’s Guide to Children’s Parties

So Dexter will be turning 1 year old in just a matter of weeks! I’m no closer to chosing a theme, or food, or buying decoration or presents… in fact, the only thing I’ve done is send a few invites! I have however found some pretty cool childrens party games thanks to Super Savvy Me.

In truth, I’m feeling more than a little guilty. I first posted about his impending birthday weeks ago, but haven’t actually done anything about it. When I think about the effort I made with Christmas, I feel like I peaked too early. Unfortunately the guilt won’t stop me blagging my way through this party. It’s too late for a theme, so it’s set to be a bit of a shambles.

On a plus, since posting about the prospect of a house-bound party with wine and nibbles, and a few hours of Justin Fletcher in a pathetic bid to stop the children from squabbling, the Big Man seems to have played a blinder and the weather looks set to stay nice. This means we can play Wacky Races and do some sensory play in the garden. I figure that if Craig is distracted doing ‘man things’ like drinking beer and manning the BBQ, I can also get the children to help me re pot my seedlings and take advantage of the free labour.

I’m not sure our garden is big enough for a bouncy castle but it can take a trampoline, and maybe a sandpit - I’m sure I can create some kind of toddler-friendly obstacle course to keep them entertained. If I’m feeling really brave, I might just make one of these cool walls out of some old cereal packets to let the little monsters punch their way out of whatever make-shift maze I subject them to.

I think we might be horrendously cruel parents and not bother with a birthday pressie for Dex. He won’t remember it and he has everything you can possibly think of. When the time comes to buy him a bike we’ll get it, but it seems silly buying him things he can’t possibly use yet. The only gift I’d like to get is a bottle of wine from 2012 (his birth year, obviously) so we can present him with it on his eighteenth birthday. He can choose to drink it or sell it - it’s just something different (and I fear it says more about me than him!).

So there it is… I’ve ditched the dream of having a first birthday worthy of those cringeworthy shows on MTV. Maybe I’ll get a few balloons and tie them to the front door, maybe I won’t - I guess that depends on how many glasses of wine I drink at 10am when I’m panicking about welcoming everyone! Am I the World’s Worst Mum? Or simply a realist? I’ll let you decide, I’m off to rope to someone into making my son’s birthday cake
