Any ideas for a gentleman’s surprise party, he will be 95 years old?
I would love to come up with a nice party for my husband. I have 3 months to make it happen.
So far…………I want it to be a white attire, I have my food/guests lists done, I need ideas for decorations/table cloths. He is aware of this, so this is not a suprise, but I do need an idea for a gift and decorations. Please help, by the way, he loves to cook and watch sports if that helps any. And Im unsure if I want finger foods or dinner.
My sister is being forced to turn 40 (lol) and we’re throwing her a surprise party. We dare not go with the “over the hill” theme and we didn’t want to plaster “40” signs and banners everywhere so we decided to go with a “39 Again” theme. I thought this was a really good idea until we tried to shop for decorations for the theme. I’ve looked online and have been to party stores in my area but I just can’t find anything. The only thing I have been able to find are create your own banners but most of them are either traditional “birthday multi-colored” or “diva pink”. My sister HATES pink and we’re trying to theme the party with her two favorite colors which are burgundy and silver. Does anyone have any ideas?
My Fiance is turning 24 and I have a few ideas on what to do, but I have never thrown anyone a birthday party and all of my ideas center around football. I was kinda wanting to branch out from there…. any ideas ?
I wish to find out ideas for my husband’s 80th birthday. Do you have anything for someone this age? He is a big 3 stooges fan. Thanks for any ideas you may have.
