ok sorry to be a butt, for asking for help and not being on here all the time...BUT O'well:) jk! I have these GREAT friends, who were a couple and then parents at a super young age...so they never had a big or even small wedding or celebration (they did vegas, by themselves), with family or friends...so now they just had their 20 anniversary, this past weekend, and in Jan. their 15 wedding ann. is coming! so with this crappy economy, and more so the unexpected cost of a broken car and tuition for their son and my friend in college, they had to cancel their 1st honeymoon/ann. get-away. which was going to be a trip to pismo and santa barbara for the weekend. Long story short a few of us decided to try and put a suprise anniversary party together for them, at most likely at my house. Since its 15 years, i decided to do silver. We have 5 1/2 weeks...the D day is Oct. 24. So any ideas, we are all pulling together, so we are going to try and do cheap and still try to be elegant. Its a lot of planning but they are DEF worth it...do we need favors? does anyone have white x-mas lights i can borrow? and wording for invites? let the planning and suggestions begin...
