Were your guys' birthdays this complicated? All I really remember about mine were eating cake and arguing over who got to play with the presents.
Kids are selfish, ungrateful little monsters who have a limited appreciation for interior decorating, so my feeling is, go easy on the insane themes and use the money you save to buy a Castle Greyskull or an Xbox game or whatever the kids today like.
And for fuck's sake, serve food they'll actually want to eat.
"WHARES DA CAKE!!!"
ReplyDeleteCombine the puppet party with a kickboxing party and you've got yourself a winner!
ReplyDeleteI like the microphone in the top of some of the shots :D
ReplyDeletei love how you posted this the day before my birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhile it doesn't reach the depths of terribleness as the Fairy Princess Party, this is remarkably awful.
ReplyDeleteI love how she sticks green olives in almost all of that godawful looking food. After all, little kids love green olives.

Is the genie the mom from One Day at a Time?
ReplyDeleteAre they planning this "on a budget" because Mom dropped $25 (plus shipping and handling) on the party planning video?
ReplyDeleteI feel like O Fortuna should have been playing through a few of those scenes.
ReplyDeleteForget the balloons, the streamers, the relish belts. Kids that age just want to crawl around in a cardboard tunnel maze.
ReplyDeleteThe PBR + Ambien + watching this video = momentary feeling that I might have actually lost my mind.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a birthday party.
ReplyDeleteI like olives.
I like turtles.
ReplyDeleteThe recession is going to lead to some awful childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else bothered by the fact that birthday fairies are ALWAYS listening to us, on the off chance that we just might wish for decorating help?
ReplyDeleteMustard Mouth Cheese Arms is the stuff of nightmares.
ReplyDeleteI had this video when I was a kid and embarrassingly enough, I loved to watch it for some unknown reason.
ReplyDeleteBirthday Parties on a budget, start by not spending money on this crap video.
ReplyDeleteOH, and a time capsule... really? Yeah it's super fun to put your favorite things into storage until you're older so that they are now junk.
*children walk into view* "If you'd like, you can hang them from the ceiling with fish-line or string."
ReplyDeleteI never minded when my parents planned my birthday parties. Because they actually had, ya know, talent and creativity and lack of toolishness.
ReplyDeletethey float. THEY ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE!
ReplyDelete"I went down, down, down through that black-taped hula hoop with red and gold tinsel..."
ReplyDeleteNo, doesn't have the same feeling.
Oh, thank God the 80s are over. I mean, just, thank GOD!
