After that, I just let the party plans unfold naturally. I bought a few goody bags and treats as take home favors for the kids and I kept it pretty inexpensive and simple. I also got a few snacks that took hardly any prep at all to set up. And I baked a few cupcakes, as per the usual. For the main course, we ordered a few boxes of pizza which, of course, was a big hit with the kids.
We had about 16 kids in total, which was the perfect amount because we didn't have a lot of parents attend the party and I didn't want to feel overwhelmed babysitting a ton of kids. However, the most important aspect of the party to me was how elated my son was that all his friends showed up to help him celebrate his special day. The kids had a blast and with hubby in charge, all I had to do was sit back and enjoy the day. Hubby and his friend played soccer with the kids because after all, it was a soccer themed birthday party. The kids played for almost two whole hours, and I didn't have to do a thing. It was awesome!
I thought the theme was genius, especially for a kid as obsessed with soccer as my son is. And having the party at a soccer field meant built in entertainment for the kids. They were able to play and run around and just enjoy the day. No party games needed. And after lunch and cake, we were able to clean up in a matter of minutes and head home to open presents. It was the perfect day.
