65th Birthday Party

 This is a repost from my original blog - addicted2jakey

Indeed! T'was a successful one! Kudos to my Sister-in-Law and friends for pulling this party off - Up to the last minute, my MIL didn't have any idea what was going on!

I'm a few days delayed in posting details on this party.. But, still it's worth sharing to the world.

Theme: Sunflower "Burst of Sunshine" 65th Birthday Party

It's quite a long story..

From previous blog, I already posted that we (specifically, Me) Jojo and Me are in-charge with the party giveaways and table centerpiece since it's a business of ours.

Table Centerpiece
I'm really having hard time choosing for the appropriate centerpiece for this party. I even planned doing a DIY of paper flowers - but,since I was kinda busy with my work and our business - I do not have that much time (as I had with Jacob's Party) to do such things. So, instead, I just asked my husband to drive me to Bay, Laguna for some plant tripping. And this only happened, hours away from the party!

I just prepared the basket for the centerpiece. At first, I was looking for flower-bearing plants but ended up with Cacti-looking plant. They just covered the black plastic with white paper for a more nice-looking table centerpiece.

 Since. t'was a surprise party, we drove MIL to the venue an hour after the call time. Just for everyone to be ready with their "Surprise Greetings!"

The party was hosted by Hannah's friend, Karen a.k.a Sexy Terry (over the radio). Indeed, she's a fun host for a party. There was no dull moment.
