Rave of the Seven Year Olds

Its not quite July, yet preparations are well underway for Kate’s 7^th birthday party in about 3 weeks time.  Yesterday, I used work’s colour printer to knock out 30 invitations done on PowerPoint for her “Disco Party”.  Yes that’s right hipsters, the House of Clay will be a rave party for 7 year olds later next month!

I am organising lights, speakers, have bought a rotating coloured light ball on eBay, have our eyes on some other fluoro trinkets and glow sticks / bracelets on eBay as well.  The power of the internet is also providing music with yours truly about to embark on a LimeWire / BitTorrent journey to download the very best party tunes to play for the raving 6-7 year olds.

Kate has drawn up a guest list of 30 kids so it will perhaps be the biggest party that these kids would have been to.  Typically kids parties have a limited invite list because parents cant cope with a huge crush, but if you want a disco, you have to have a crowd.

And the little ravers will be well stocked with party food and sugar so they will be well hyped when their parents pick them up at 7pm in the evening (hee hee).  The food will be the typical part fare, but I presume we’ll do some fairy bread because the colour on the hundreds & thousands will match the lighting in the garage.

We’ll have a breakout area too where the lil’ ravers can “chill out” and catch their breath and the only thing left for me to do is to decide what I will wear... what can a daggy 33 year old blogger-dad wear to a 7yr old rave… ;-)
