It will be OK--two weeks is tons of time to get everything done. Of course, I was in a major panic about Lyra's birthday a month and a half ago, so I know of what you speak. :-) Breathe deeply. It will be OK.
Here's my list to help get you started. I baked and decorated my own cake, but the party didn't have a theme other than purple.
FYI, two dozen bagels is waaaaay too much for five toddlers and their parents. We also ended up getting hummus, baba ganoush, etc., and mini pitas at Trader Joe's, so we had waaaaay too much food. I also forgot to put out the fruit.
We had a hot, beautifully sunny day, so we ended up having a pool party in the wading pool.
Things to do for Lyra's birthday:
Non-perishables to buy:
Party favors and bags to put them in
Decorations (balloons?)
Paper plates and bowls (check on current supply)
Plastic forks and spoons
Plastic cups
Candles
Party hats
Wrapping paper
Cake platter (?)
Food items:
Juice
Regular soda (something caffeinated, something not)
Assorted bagels (two dozen)
Cream cheese (plain, veggie, scallion)
Assorted fruit (grapes, strawberries)
Icing for decorating cake
Decotips for icing
Chocolate and vanilla ice cream
Things to DO:
Verify RSVPs
Bake cake
Decorate cake
Clean house
Clean up yard (weather permitting)
Wrap presents
Planning schedule:
Tuesday
Shop for non perishable items
Thursday
Clean house (focus on downstairs)
Clean off buffet

Bake cake in afternoon

Brilliant!
Thanks for the reassurance, moral support and letting me crib off your lists! *big appreciative smile*
