Oh I'm back!

Hello childrens!

I bought my dress =) Yes, the one I posted down below. It ended up being $42, and that's fine. I just can't buy anything else for a while! Which that's not so bad as long as I stay home. *recluse*

I will be talking to people tomorrow about the 1920s music again. I'm excited, like woah.

So some people have been commenting on the fact that I've invited people so far in advance and here is my reasoning:

This sort of party is a large ordeal. I need to have time to figure out what I need, when I need it, how early I can get it, and how much it will cost. I also have to have time to plan how many guests, how much food and drinks, and decorating. Because of how much this party will cost ($500, and my parents said that they will help pay for it as my birthday gift), I have to stay far ahead of everything so that I will make SURE I have enough money for all that I'm doing. Right now, I'm having to save money for both my trip to Houston in a few weeks, and this party.

So of course I'm going to invite early and start planning early. It gives everyone a chance to mark their calendars and plan ahead, and it gives people time to choose if they want to help (which I DO need help).

Speaking of which, here's what I still need help for:

Music~
Dancing (I would love to take a few dance lessons on the dancing styles of the 1920s and to have other people learn with me)
DEALERS (I need dealers for the card games and for all of the casino style games, especially since there will be a poker tournament)
JUDGES (There will be a dance contest. I will be judging but I also need others to judge with me)
Decorators! (I'd love to have some friends come over and help me clean up and decorate my house!)
Newzies (I definitely want to have a little street team that helps with reminding people and encouraging people to come, but it's not necessary)

So if anyone can offer help, please do so!

This party may end up being potluck =)
