Your faces when the little boy blew the candles out..... We were all like...... Noooooo! But Jackson dealt with it soooo well! And the speed you relit was immense! 😀😆🎂

[@gabriellev233]

Aaah bless, Jackson was so patient with the other little boy blowing out his candle. Thank you for all the great tips!

[@mrsemilynorris]

I know bless him 😍 Thanks so much for watching xx

[@Mimits20]

This time five years ago, Emily's tutorials helped me pack my hospital bag before the birth of my son. And I'm here again, getting inspo for my son's fifth the birthday ❤

[@alexkazamthemagicman1447]

Great party preparation- food boxes definately keep things a bit less chaotic when the kids sit to eat. The emergency box is a great idea. As a kid's entertainer myself, I bring some emergncy supplies- selotape, gaffa tape, needle and thread and extra batteries for my PA and a lighter in case the parents forget to bring anything to light the candles! Your balloon displays look fabulous and Jackson looked like he had a fab time.

[@charlottemcmahon6270]

As an allergy mum I love how much effort you went to to make sure there was suitable food! I need to find mum friends like you! Please can you make a Christmas dessert platter (closer to Christmas of course) I need your inspiration to help me make my own!

[@angelafu1918]

Happy belated birthday to Jackson. I remember he was just few month old when I started to follow you on KZbin. It’s amazing to see how he grew into a happy, sweet little boy like his two older brothers.I’m so inspired with your great ideas and tips, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to see more videos from you.

[@lisabarnwell8409]

Hey Emily, hope you’re all well I’m happy, good and well thank you good evening love this Luca party prep video. I have really enjoyed this Luca birthday prep video. It really me happy! I can’t believe Jackson is 5 years old. He looks really happy to enjoyed his birthday party with all of his friends at the cafe. The sweetie biscuit platter is lovely. I liked the strawberries, biscuits, mini doughnuts and the chocolate pretzels which are on the biscuit platter. Cream cheese and salmon bagels sounds good and delicious. I love the Luca balloon arch with the shark,🦈 jellyfish and fish 🐠 it’s lovely and underwater and beautiful too. Jackson’s birthday cake is so attractive, gorgeous and makes him happy as well. What a good idea to have a party prep planning checklist to make you didn’t forgot anything for a birthday party celebrations too. Happy birthday Jackson I hope he had a lovely day.

[@giron24]

Love it, the food looks amazing. Any chance you will be doing a after party clean up video?

[@marizona8334]

He is so cute 😍 happy birthday to Jackson

[@sarahbanks9450]

I saw your video the other day when you gave Jackson a ‘supermarket type’ birthday cake and sang happy birthday on a field and I thought that it was pretty understated compared to your usual birthday parties… 😂 this video explains it!

[@mrsemilynorris]

Haha I've promised Matt it's the last one! Thanks so much for watching Sarah xx

[@80snowqueen]

Kids birthdays are so stressful. My favourite part is when it is day after.

[@thealgailani180]

Hi,Your videos are always nice and great organization with the most beautiful family

[@hilacohen5168]

Happy birthday to Jacson it was beautiful 💛

[@lucyzhai2945]

Hi! Emily! You planned this party so well! I was wondering if you can go through how you budget this sort of birthday parties? I have two little ones, but their parties always go over budget and your parties looks so perfect, I’m just wondering if you can share the $$ side. Thank you!

[@laylamay7449]

He getting so big!🥳🥳

[@MrsHum100]

I have got to know your glow secrets! Looking very tan and glowing in this video! Also your hair 😍! Happy Birthday Jackson! My twins Thomas and Jackson had their bday just one day earlier than your Jackson! They turned 7! Such an amazing party!

[@imanhajiegeh8030]

Emily Norris, you're such an organised woman! I'm loving everything you did for Jackson's party and how that the kids helped you with the set up. You gave me lots of ideas I can't wait to organise our next party. It's been ages since we had families and friends celebrating together.

[@shennoo23]

Literally was thinking the same thing !!

[@chumij24]

Love the party organisational ideas and the grazing boards especially! I've been looking for a platter board like the one you have but can't find anything at an appropriate size. Where did you get yours from Emily?

[@megaladon838]

Fun!

[@poulamichakraborty6105]

Hi Emily, Happy Birthday to sweet Jackson. He actually does look like Luca 😃 My daughter loves that movie too ❤️ Hey could you please link your party planning sheet. TIA

[@emaliewarnick]

Thanks for the video! I have a daughter who turns 5 next month!

[@sarahgummer9009]

Gorgeous party, can I ask which venue you used? It looks fab

[@jeankrs0]

Lovely video, congrats!!! I was wondering what is the name os the playlist that you have used in this video?

[@rebeccagrover4893]

Glad to see Joe Banana is still doing his thing! Been to a few of his parties In Thurrock and he never disappoints! Would 100% recommend him!

[@mrsemilynorris]

Yes he was great! Thanks so much for watching Rebecca xx

[@amyeldon298]

Can see how secretly raging Emily is when that boy bowls out the candles hahaha I’d be the same though xx

[@shaali4878]

This is amazing my daughters having her 6th and we’ve got most of what you’ve said too include phew but would love your checklist, but can’t find it? Thank you 😊

[@YaroslavnaKadulina]

Yeah where’s the checklist?

[@josiebriggs4014]

Please can you let me know where your platter board is from? The one used for the sweet grazing platter? Thanks xx

[@antoniyayotsova5473]

Beautiful! Jackson is so happy! That was really useful for me as my little girl is also 5 and will have party in December. Do you invited only children of his class or other friends too?

[@thefouranimationproduction]

I really love how it looks for the theme you should try pesto pasta from the movie

[@hasinahaque9748]

Lovely party. Just wondering if you have a breakdown of the cost. How much did the whole party cost? Ta

[@best-onelocal4800]

Where’s your dinning table from please. I love it!!!

[@faithb4236]

That sweet tray looks amazing. Wondering if the strawberries did not make the biscuits soft

[@Caremelo365]

Cool

[@KenzieH101]

Hi Emily what is the is cafe called I’m also from Essex and have my sons bday coming up ! Thank you! Could you also link who made the balloon arch thanks in advance xx

[@emilyknighton304]

That entertainer was so funny when he said the kid won’t be invited next year 😆

[@indigocatalyst.]

So extra prepared and one step ahead with that lighter I love it lol #momgoals

[@user-nn3mw3rw5k]

🎉😂more please

[@nicolac3540]

Your car boot looked like Tetris again ☺️

[@svinch5719]

Is it possible to know the budget for this event? even an approximation? I am looking to do something similar for my little brother but honestly I can't really tell if I will go out of budget, especially with all the decore

[@julietannOsfan1972]

It all looked brilliant, especially the cake. I love how well organised you were with everything. I thought it was especially nice that you did food etc for the adults too. I'm so pleased for you that everything went ok.

[@brandiigiibson]

This is quite different than a party in the US. There are similarities of course, but it was interesting to see how birthdays go in other countries!

[@nika-pt2pl]

Hello Emily, What is your point of view on inviting the whole class to a birthday party? My daughter is turning 5 this April and she insists she wants to invite everyone but I'm completely overwhelmed with all of the planning required. I know she does not play with all of the kids in her class so I thought of something smaller in soft play where food is included and you don't have to worry about a thing.

[@haleycook3397]

Hi Emily. I'm organising my sons 4th birthday at the moment and can't find the checklist link x
