Thread: My first party 10/30/09

Where to start? Last night was my first party that my husband and I threw for our three kids. We are hoping to make this an annual event with last night being our first we now know what to do and what not to do for next year. the grades of kids were 5th, 7th, and 9th (respectively). We time staggered with some overlap. Lets just say it was a rager in my experience. The youngest had about 20 kids, my 7th grader had about 30-35 kids and the high schooler had about 20 too. Thankfully I had my cousin to help out and my friend. Unfortunately I didnt get any pics since I was so busy. but we black sheeted the garage and also extended it with the door open and EZ ups. Also had a disco ball, strobe lights, great music and ground fog. The dance floor was smokin' hot with dance offs. Lots of fun. ---a keeper for next year.

The backyard also was great, on our patio we had a chop shop with the buffet spread--looked great. Into the yard was a couple of those cardboard trees from spirit with giant spider and sac. Couple bats from Costco picnic seating area (decorated) and a cemetary, and the fire pit for smores. = all went fantastic, again a keeper for next year.

WHAT NOT TO DO FOR NEXT YEAR - no time staggering. Just have it on different days. It was crazy with at one point about 50 kids here at a time. So many kids no games were played except for the little ones did pass the orange before it was too crazy. Was looking forward to murder wink for the older ones. Oh well.

All in all it was a success and looking forward to next year.

Glad to hear it was a success
