Abrakadoodle! www.abrakadoodle.com/mn01 They have the best birthday parties. They offer art parties and have 1800 art projects to choose from. Their most popular is one where the kids literally throw paint like Jackson Pollock, but they have tons of other ones if you aren't into getting messy. They start at 2 years of age so they're great with younger kids. They can either do the party in your home or you can go to their studio in St. Louis Park. If you go to them they take care of everything - providing the invites, running the party from start to finish, serving all of the food and evening make the list of who brought what present. The kids have a great time and their space is enormous so there is plenty of room for parents. The best part is that when the party is done you just get to leave and they take care of all of the clean up. It's a little more expensive than other options, but totally worth it, especially when you work full time. All you have to do is send the invites (which they provide) and bring the cake.
