I am looking for ideas for my DD's 2007 Bday!
Background, DD will be 11 in August of 2007 and I want to plan a special bday for her, currently I am only planning on it just be the 3 of us (DD, DH, and Me) and one friend also 11. However I could expand it to include more family because they are nearby in Tampa but my current inclination is to plan something separate but small with them.
Currently we live in Okinawa, Japan and her Bday this year will be spent at the Beach in a rental cabin, I will have it decorated before we arrive and we will enjoy her day sea kayaking and snorkeling. She also had a Coconut (AG DOG) skating party in Germany before we left...in lieu of gifts she collected dog food for the shelter. Other parties have included a weekend in Paris and the Sand Castle Club at Disney....most are about making her feel special.
Here is the problem...I am really not that creative so if I call private Dinning I don't know what to tell them I want!
At first I was thinking of an illuminations cruise with cake and a sundae bar...she likes making her own sundaes, but I am worried about the smoke from the fireworks, also how would we eat dinner without her getting desser??t.....even considered the Yach if that would take care of the smoke issues.
Another idea I had was a gift of a life time event ending with private dinning on the Beach??
Whatever we do I want her friend to feel just as special...ideas?? I know this seems a long way out but I want to start getting ideas now so I have a plan when the 6month point rolls around. Budget...probably about $1000.
So if you have some over the top ideas, let me hear them!!
