I used Orbs.com to plan my son’s 4th birthday party. It was themed after Disney’s Cars movie and it was a ton of work. Like most moms, I went online and did research on decorations, party favors, cakes, food, coloring sheets and games. Rather than print everything out, I copied and pasted anything interesting into my orbs site.
I chose to use orbs.com because I didn’t want lots of paper clutter (bad for the environment too!) and I could access it from home and my workplace. As a mommy who works, I’m always pressed for time and I liked that I could quickly go to my site and add more ideas whenever I felt like it. I also used it to remember who was bringing what to the party, what tasks I needed to get done and who was coming (some older guests don’t do email).
Now, I’m planning a baby shower for my sister-in-law and I already have a page on my orbs site started.
