Parents 25th wedding anniversary....

[awick14]

DH an I are hosting a 25th wedding anniversary dinner party here at our place. (just got possession of the house April 1st).

The party is today. One of my aunts called me freaking out that the only reason we are having people over is to show off our new home. She is driving me insane!

We are having the party here because I didnt think it is right to ask anyone else to hold the party. And my parents have the only other house that would accommodate a party of this amount of people. An in no way would I hold a surprise party at their house when the surprise is for them. (think people, the guest of honor wanting to help clean up so the place is there kinda clean after the party!!!)

Anyways this was more of a vent then anything.

*runs off to start setting up*

Your Aunt sounds like a real peach - ignore her and good luck with the party!

Make sure you ask her if she wants a tour of house when she gets there.

She sounds like a dick.

Have fun!

[loveday]

Well she sounds crazycakes. Ignore it.

I hope the party goes well.

Thanx everyone!

The party was a huge success. The aunt did ask for a tour of the house before I said anything to her.

Only 4 other people asked for a tour of the house. (All people from OOT and they only come to town once a year.)

We had a 25th surprise party/picnic for my parents anniv 5 years ago. Dad knew about it, because I needed help with a guest list. We did host it at their house, but Grandma and aunts helped clean up so mom didn't have to do it. They went away for the weekend and everyone was waiting when they got back. Even my grandparents from TN (we are in PA) drove up for the party. My mom was SO surprised. Grandpa was going through cancer treatments and had been bald for a couple of years, and he had hair when he was here then! She was crying so much because of them being there and being surprised.
