50 Shades 1st Birthday Theme?

[Alyssa]

I don't know if this was already posted but if it hasn't, I thought I would share this gem from TB.




Ok, my original theme for my son's 1st birthday was Curious George. Saturday we received an invite to our cousin's son's 3rd birthday. Curious George. So, scratch that idea.

My son's name is Grayson. My friend (who's pretty crafty and an amazing party planner) thinks we can turn Mommy porn into a 1st birthday theme. Any thoughts. 50 Shades of Gray(son)? paint swatch invitations? base the party around different shades of the color Gray? maybe have a picture collage of 50 pictures of Grayson throughout his first year doing different things/different moods.

My husband isn't sold on the idea. I think I'm into it! It's unique, but I'm afraid people may get the wrong idea.

Wut? No.

LOL that people may get the wrong idea. Exactly what is the right idea here?

I am clutching my mother lovin' pearls. What a freaking loon.

this makes me laugh. a lot.

In other news, WTF is up with the formatting on TB? Gag.

[RoxMonster]

Nope.

[papie]

OMG OMG OMG

Yay...I think this is the worst idea ever for a 1 year old's birthday party. If you think Curious George is overdone, how about Babar? I think that would be pretty cute.

Wait, what?

I'm in favor of a 50 Shades of Gray themed celebration of a first birthday. But only if done the way first birthday celebrations should be done: ditch the baby with a sitter and go out on the town with your husband to celebrate keeping him alive for a year. A hotel night themed around cheesy soft porn is just fine.

But a kiddie party with "mom porn"? WTF?

[speckledfrog]

Plus, you know that everyone will think that you got turned on by the book and then made a baby.

Even "Grayson's gray party" would be fine. Dull, but fine. Gray decorations. Gray food. Gray cake. Gray day. Gray mood.

Lol. It's Curious George or handcuffs and whips, that's all the party store had left!

[gozf]

JFC.

Has this broad never heard of Elmo???

[bania]

Lol. Seems legit.

[mirandahobbes]

50 shades of elmo = ok

Butt plugs as party favors = not ok

[litebright]

I am dying to know more about the party planner who came up with this stroke of genius.

Who thinks, "oh, a shitty BDSM erotic novel would make an awesome first birthday theme!" and then actually TELLS someone else this thought.

[MrsAxilla]

I don't understand why Curious George is out just because another kid used it. Do you know how many Avengers parties I've been to this summer?

[wambam]

Oh please do it.

And please record the facial expressions of the parents' as they open the invitations.

You don't need to be this unique.

50 Shades of NOPE.

[cheeseandcrackers]

[Gato]

Oy vey.  Afraid someone might get the wrong idea?  I'm not sure  "There's GRAY in both these things!" is actually an idea.  But hey, she's got years of material for her birthday parties: Grey Gardens, The Blue and the Grey, Grey Poupon...
