Planning a Birthday

We are planning a birthday party for Alex, and I have a big problem. I love to entertain, and would do so much more of it if my husband loved it as much as I do. I love the crafty, Do-it-Yourself decorating, and just going all out. We have done everything from a basic birthday party to a Carnival Birthday Party (which was my favorite). I am having to hold myself back because Alex is going to be 7, and while I am sure he will love anything we do, I have to make sure it is more on the big boy side, and less on the cheesy side :o) I love giving them a day that is there day. So i am going to log off of Martha Stewart's website, and take Alex to Card and Party Outlet so he can pick out his birthday theme.
