I don't like the look of the party-invite future!<br /><br />The soon-to-be 3 yr old is having a Teddy Bears Picnic for her birthday, but I was even considering calling it a Toys Picnic in case the guests didn't have teddies. And there are only 3 guests... Think maybe I'm too much the other extreme :D<br /><br />Love your blog.Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318218224663778620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-74429569570375757772012-02-07T19:53:02.644+00:002012-02-07T19:53:02.644+00:00Oh, I am heartbroken, a teeny bit, by this.

Not that yours was ludicrous, far from it! I also have to ask, why on earth would someone have a party where the kids have to all come dressed as the same thing?? Sure, have a cowboy party or something, but there can be no variation with a spideman party at all... Would have made picking up the correct child at home time interesting I'm sure!

Peer group pressure sucks though, and it is a shame that this happened for your little girl and her costume. But you be proud of yourself, because I thought the outfit you made was unique, and that photo can be brought out in years to come, when she is a mum trying to be a good mum, just like you.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-91095547540670858182012-01-18T14:48:32.591+00:002012-01-18T14:48:32.591+00:00So cute!

Of course, it can't compete with the professional outfit and I'm sure Betty will be forever grateful to you for getting it for her. She will make a very good impression at the party. It was a pure act of love to get it for her. I want to say how good it was of you to do it.
