As far as toddler milestones go, potty training is up there as one of the biggies. While every family has their own method of transitioning little kids to the toilet [1], we couldn't help but notice while perusing Pinterest that "potty parties" are increasing in popularity. We're not just talking a wrapped copy of Everyone Poops [2] or some big-kid undies, either — many moms are going all out and hosting elaborate, photo-friendly bashes. Ridiculous? Maybe. But we couldn't stop looking!
Here, a few of the more noteworthy ways to rock a potty party of your very own.
