November-- Allies birthday weekend part 2

I had so much to do getting ready for the party that I didn't have enough time to make myself look fabulous. I was super bummed about this, but the show must go on! This is me and one of my Besties Allie.The awesome banner I made with poster paint and wrapping paper. Very proud of it.Allie thought that we were taking her out to dinner to a super fancy restaurant. She was so surprised when we took of her blindfold to find a room full of 21 of her closest friends and family. She was overwhelmed with joy and got teary eyed which in turn made me teary eyed as well.
Allie was instructed to meet at our house and drop off her kids. Then she got in the car one of her Besties, Erin. Who drove around then dropped her off to Nate (Allies husband), who drove her to my clubhouse.
One of the most important party of the party was the ambiance. I wanted it to feel nice and fancy and stick to the color theme. Right when Allie walked in this was the banner she saw with her friends in front of it.
Pictures from the party!

Allies parents, Allie's mom even put eye lashes on her mask. Awesome!

Amber is one of my sisters that came and helped served, as this was a fancy sit down dinner. I had little Jester head wear for them to wear.
I scored at the DI. Found 40 matching glasses for $15! So there was water and punch, just like a fancy restaurant. Erin had the awesome idea for the flower in the vase. One of the games. In every persons murder mystery envelopes they had pictures of Allie. They had to decide which pictures went best with what quote. Allie decided the winners. Allie was able to keep all the photos, many she didn't have. I had them put in the red chest with all the cards and notes.
There was some Karaoke at the end for those who wanted to stay.
The black frame on the right is one of many I made with collages of pictures of Allie. These were spread through out the room. Allies mom provided the wedding photo.
A place to write and leave a not if you didn't bring a card.
It was such a great night. Big success. She had no idea!! I love party planning!!!

What an AMAZING party! I absolutely cannot plan parties. I get stressed beyond belief. We(people like me) are lucky that there are people like you out there.
