I need some ideas for a 70th Birthday Party. The birthday girl is my mother-in-law, who wanted the family to gather in Las Vegas (her favorite city on the face of the earth) to celebrate. Accomodations have been arranged for the attendees, but what will we do when we get there other than gather for a birthday dinner? She does not want any gifts...
I thought of presenting a souvenir journal with photographs and words of encouragement from family members, but no one has cooperated so far. Any other ideas out there? I'd really appreciate your help.
I'm hosting a 74th surprise birthday party for my mom in two weeks. Already she has a couple of people traveling long distances to come here. There will be about thirty people total. I have asked all those attending to write and share a story about my mom-funny, silly, sad, doesn't matter. I have asked them to take some time at the party to share these stories with the guests When the party is over, I will be presenting my mom with a binder with all the stories. Moreover, since my mom will be seventy four, I am contemplating to ask everyone to dress as if it was 1974. My parents thoroughly enjoyed the seveties too.
You didn't state when the birthday is, I hope I'm not too late on this. When in Vegas, go to the Ethel M's Chocolate Factory for the FREE tour of their factory. You get to see how they make their world famous delicious chocolates & at the end of the tour, everyone gets to pick 1 choice for a FREE piece of their chocolates. They also have a nice gift shop. Outside on the factory grounds, they have a really nice cactus garden, everyone can stroll around looking at the various, different cacti. (during Christmas holidays, the cactus are decorated with Christmas lights & looks really nice and very different at nighttime! A very nice & special treat, for all ages, a real MUST SEE, then, something everyone can enjoy & remember for a long time to come!) Going here would be very nice and could be done for any age of person, or group trip, for their birthday or occasion. It's in Henderson, NV (a suburb of Las Vegas). Look in the yellow pages for the address, & phone number, to call for store hours.
Make your own photo collage of your family with her. Too bad the others are bothering to help. I sure know that feeling. Make it special from your family. Have your husband ,yourself, and the kids write something special under their photos. A reflection of that photo(moment) or a loving thought they have for her. Make it in her favorite colors or something that goes with her decor. Keeping a neutral base colors with a bold accent always works well. Check out "free scrapbooking" great ideas. Almost too many! Remember to make it special from your bunch is what it is all about. :) Happy 70th celebrating! Jennifer CA
