The big 4-0 party five weeks away and things are getting done.
The only rough spot I've hit so far was with the venue. Their contract wasn't very clear that they require a $500 security deposit on top of the rental fee, so I had to scramble to find that money. When planning a party, be sure to ask about all the fee's associated with rentals so you don't run into this problem. I should have known better to ask!
This week I met with my friend, Allison, owner of Cake Done Right. She will be designing and making the cake for the party. I am very excited to see what she comes up with!
I also ordered some fun cups from a site called Beau-Coup. The prices were very reasonable, but I have yet to see the product. Once they get in, I will take a picture and write a review.
I am still shopping around for the best prices on decorations. So far Oriental Trading Co. is the front runner, but I will be heading to Diddums this week to price some things there.
This week I will be solidifying the guest list. Instead of a paper invitation, I will be using the E-vite service. It saves money and a tree! You could also use social networking sites like Facebook, but you can't personalize the invitation.
So much left to do! Off I go!
