    • Make and set up the decorations as early as possible.

      What a super fun idea! While I'm not sure I could handle throwing a party because I just had my fourth child 3 weeks ago...I do think I could pull this off for my kids! They would LOVE it. I've yet to meet a person who doesn't love to make and eat ice cream sundaes! Beautiful photos. #client
