Have a birthday shin dig or holiday party at school coming up? Instead of racking your brain and asking your mother's group for advice, look to Peppers and Pollywogs for everything you need. From cake ideas to a ditty for the party invitation, Peppers and Pollywogs can provide it all. Lisa Kothari and Shiv Chandrasekaran launched a website dedicated to planning your kid's party.
Lisa has been at it for ten years and Shiv joined her two years ago. The two have planned parties from coast to coast at every price range. As stated on the back of her book, Lisa believes that no matter the budget or the amount of time a parent has, a great kid's party can be planned.
The site provides party ideas, decoration tips, entertainer and venue contacts in various cities, invitations, rhyme services, and chatrooms for parents to discuss all the above. What else do you need?
More recently, Lisa wrote a book ($10) based on the site, which directs parents through the party planning process. It's a great reference to have in your back pocket when that birthday starts to creep around the bend. Come back tomorrow for holiday tips from Lisa!
