Mom Arranged ‘Corona’ Themed Party For Son’s 1st Birthday
Prior to the lockdown, Abbey Furlong scheduled an 80-person circus-themed party, which obviously, had to be called off after the restrictions. But she thought of something that could still bring the fun: a “Corona” themed party. Furlong had to do it as her son was turning one this year. Simply canceling the party was not appropriate.
So, this mom from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, decided to go with the flow. Besides, she had put enormous time and effort for the vintage circus theme and felt broken before putting it off. She devised her new plans while sitting on the couch, drinking wine. Because they could celebrate it even with the members at home, so, if not a circus-themed party, a “Corona” themed one proved to be a better alternative.
It was time to get into the preparation. Since she already had some resources like the Ferris wheel cupcake holder, it was a bit relief. There were some things that she needed to buy and had to call her friends for help. Furlong’s mom could attend the party due to social distancing, but she drove by to wish her son with a birthday sign. Plus, her father had been staying with them, so he could attend the party.
Furlong says: “This may be the smallest party I’ve ever thrown, but it’ll definitely be the most memorable! Ain’t no quarantine gonna stop us from celebrating! The best part about the beer cake is I’ve actually enjoyed it after the party. Unlike most party decor that gets wasted.” She never considers posting personal stuff online, but since some people appreciated the idea, she posted it later. To her surprise, she was applauded for her excellent work.
With more than 27,000 shares, her simple idea increased the grandeur of this party. Ultimately, it became the best party she had ever organized. “Glad we could bring smiles to strangers, especially under these circumstances,” says Furlong. We can all conclude that we don’t have to throw a huge and expensive party, but even the simplest ones can become the memorabilia. With less than $100, this birthday became the one that Furlong’s family would commemorate for long.
For her, it’s her family’s happiness and safety that has priority at the pinnacle. All she wants is to live in the moment instead of thinking about the future. What made Furlong happy was the fact that she faced no hassle to clean the house for guests.
