It was the start of something beautiful when we launched our Show us your party section just over a year ago. People have submitted their amazingly imaginative children’s parties throughout the year and we have all oohed and ahhed over the effort and obvious love which has gone into them.

While there has at times, been some reader comment controversy surrounding them, we at Babyology see these children’s parties as products of the endless love parents have for their children, wanting to create very special memories for their most precious people in very creative ways. How rewarding to see the look of wonderment on their children’s faces after much hard work and forethought.

We’ve handpicked twelve very special events from 2011 (in no particular order) to share once more with you – it’s time to enter a dozen wonderlands of party perfection! Click on the links in the text to get to the original editorial as each post has many amazing photos to look at for ideas.
