As you can see from
the examples below,
I'm a fanatic to taking
all parties I throw
down to the very last detail.
Although,
planning a party is very
much fun for me
I tend to take months planning,
cooking. preparing
& executing such.
The results have always proved
worth the effort as most
remember one thing or
another about them for years
to come & I'm often
called on to help them plan
parties or to just give advice .
Pictured above is an invitation I made up for one of Net's
parties. I originally got the layout idea from seeing those ads in
the
magazines back in the 70's where you
could choose from a page of gifts for your choice of
prize.
I decided to choose 50 of Net's favorites or gag gifts
to
give party goers an idea of the endless possibilities
of gifts.
More about the party
theme
People were told to come prepared
to "ROAST" Net!
For decorations I had pictures of
Net's earlier years
blown up to poster size and hung
them on walls.
I setup a podium for roasting Net
and guest one by one as
they presented him with their gift
selected from one of two bins.
In one bin I had nice roast jokes/toast
for them to use and in the
other pail I had placed burn jokes
about Net. Most party
goers choose from the burn joke
pail although, the ones
in the nice pail weren't exactly
nice. *grin*
I also, prepared games consisting
of trivia from his year of birth
and stuck them to guest backs on
arrival, each one pertained to a
... person place event etc..Persons
were encouraged to mingle and attempt to find out what they were by asking
questions to other guest.
The first person to guess whom
or what he was won.
This in itself made for a
GREAT fun icebreaker.
The entire event was taped for later
remembrance.
 
Below are some pictures from Lil
Net's high school graduation party.
Each table in the rented hall were decorated
with tablecloths
matching school colors, then given a theme
like displayed below. Tables displayed awards from K-12 or others
were specialty tables such as MUSIC, ART, AWARDS etc...
after which I then covered each table
with clear vinyl.
This had people hopping from one table
to the next to view her accomplishments.
The cake was a strawberry whipped cream
1/2 white & 1/2 chocolate
and designed by me to look like a book
with a special poem .
All desserts which I made were color coordinated
to again,
match her school colors.
The dance stage was setup with all
of LIL' Net's ART displayed.
The money box displayed on the table to
the bottom right of the
picture was created by me and had one
picture from each year
birth to graduation attached to it. Placed
next to this on the table,
her diploma and special awards were displayed.
