    When was the last time you wore a party hat ON YOUR BIRTHDAY? I'm not talking about parties that we've painstakingly planned for our kids. I'm talking about a party just for you! As moms, it's so easy to forget the simple joys of colorful balloons, matching cups and plates and the ridiculousness of wearing a party hat. I probably wouldn't go out and buy party decor and supplies for myself, BUT if a cute birthday party in a box showed up on my doorstep that'd be another story.

    Birthday Party in a Box: Just Add Cake!

    I put together this party in a box to send to a friend. As a military family, we have friends and family all of the United States that we've had to leave behind when we move. The simple joy of snail mail and a package on the doorstep is not lost on us.

    We love sending and receiving gift packages so I stopped by Rite Aid and the party store across the street to pick up everything needed for a fun birthday celebration! I keep a stack of decorated shipping boxes on hand that I sometimes use to mail out gifts. This one was 12 x 9 x 6" and worked perfectly. You could also pick up a flat rate shipping box from the post office and load it with as many party supplies as you'd like for one price.

    Because I didn't use a flat rate box, I wanted to keep this package lightweight so I skipped adding cake mix and frosting. Instead, I created a printable tag to add to the box that says "Just add Cake!"

    Have you tried the new M&M'S® Chocolate Bars? The cashier at Rite Aid said that they've been selling quickly ever since they arrived so she was going to grab a couple for herself. I told her that she totally should because they really are delicious! Rite Aid has a great selection of candies and party items to add to a fun package like this! I grabbed a couple of bars in each flavor.

    Simply pack everything into your box and use colorful tissue paper to make things nice and snug.
