I am not an expert in children or teen parties. There are hundreds of sites that specialize in that information if you google "kids parties" you will find an amazing amount of bright ideas. We do have a page on our site that leads to al the different kid's party themes, however. http://www.partyplansplus.com/themes.htm
Not for those seeking information about party/event planning as a career. That information is found on the internet under "event planning careers" or at our site www.partyplansplus.com/started.htm

Question I am the best woman for my friend's wedding. I've met his finance maybe 3 times in the 3 years they've been together. I was invited to her Bridal Shower but feel its awkward & unnecessary. Would it be inappropriate to not go (I'd still send a gift).
Answer Dear C:
If you are that close to the groom...it would be entirely appropriate and in fact, somewhat important for you to attend her shower. You would get to know other members of the party and her friends, which will make the wedding more fun and comfortable for you.
It would possibly be a slight for you to NOT attend unless you are simply unable to.
I would imagine your friend would appreciate your attending his bride's shower as a show of respect for them as a couple.
