Planned and enjoyed :)

The party finally took place this past Saturday, November 21st.

Final list:
  • √ Set a date
  • √ Finish my guest list
  • √ Find missing information from long-time-no-see friends
  • √ Make a party schedule including cooking preparation
  • √ Make and send out the e-invitations
  • √ Check RSVPs: 1 last-minute cancellation due to sickness and 4 no-shows :S
  • √ Buy cooking ingredients
  • √ Get help for cooking
  • √ Buy cake: my favorite, but it split in half on the way home :S
  • √ Get tables and a canopy, maybe chairs (check if guests can bring): no canopy but wasn’t necessary
  • √ Arrange for ice: more than enough in the freezer
  • √√ Eat, drink, and celebrate enjoying one more year of life with the company of dear friends and family :)
Plus (not planned):
  • √ Gorgeous weather
  • √ Nice, relaxed atmosphere
  • √ Great conversation
  • √ Second servings; people really enjoyed the food, and there was more than enough
  • √ Party lasted past midnight
  • √√ Happy guests and happy hostess :)
