Pseudo-surprise party: Update!

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!
