Oopsies and Lessons

So the party went AWESOME!

The ONLY bad part was that the flow of the party didn't quite happen, and I planned for too many people party favor wise.

So I've learned, of the people who say they're coming, you should probably only expect half of them to attend. Make enough food to feed the full amount, but only make favors and what not for half, and have some back up just in case.

The flow of the party ended up having to mingle less and enjoy myself more. Everyone gathered around to play poker and roulette on their own, and REALLY got into it. There wasn't a dance contest, but one of my friends came in and did some 1920s dance, full out. And awesomely. We ended up playing a card version game of Mafia instead of doing a murder mystery. But it ended up being a lot of fun anyway, and everyone sang happy birthday and HARMONIZED :D And my cakes were GORGEOUS and made by my mommy.

As far as the calendar planning, it REALLY helped. The homemade root beer also went off without a hitch!

I'm glad I overplanned on everything except the party favors, but it was still awesome =)

Thanks to everyone who made it so great. <3

Since the party is over, I'll use this blog to either post funny/interesting/random things or to plan others' parties or my own.

:D It's still a few days before my birthday! <3 So I still have some awesome partying to partake in <3
