You need three things for a party:

1. Cake. It's not a party without a cake from Party Favors in Brookline. Party Favors cakes are not only incredible works of art, but they also taste amazing.

2. Gifts. This is where your $40 gift card to Henry Bear's Park comes in. Shop local? Nice job!

3. Entertainment. Sure you could hire a clown to charm the kids and terrify the adults OR you can use your five movie passes to Somerville/Capitol Theatre! Smart.

Although the cake officially serves 20-25 people, your movie party of five will have no problem consuming the entire thing. It's a good thing the movie theater walls are padded!
