These nine toddler-friendly birthday locations will take care of all the details and execution, while you sit back and relax and (in most cases) just show up with the cake.
If you’re in your 30s, it’s almost a guarantee that as you scroll through your social media feed you are sure to stumble across photos of a friend’s Pinterest-worthy toddler birthday party.
I’m talking themed invitations and themed cakes and themed games and themed food labels and on and on. If that’s your style, then DIY your heart out but if the thought of all that exhausts you, the Agenda is here to help.
