Invitations and the Secret is Out!

By now my secret is out!  Cat's out of the bag, as my mom would say!  I knew I wanted to give my mom a 60th birthday bash for many months now, and I mean many months.  Back in February I started to formulate my plan.  I'm a bit of a planner! By the time March rolled around things were very much up and going with the party planning!

Keeping this quiet has not been easy!  I have almost tripped up on several occasions when chatting with my mom.  When my boyfriend talked to my mom during Mother's day I must admit I was a nervous Nelly, as I anxiously hoped he would not trip up and say something like "see you in a few weeks!".  Just last week before she knew of the party I almost asked her if she would make us sloppy joes when we come to town, I quickly bit my tongue to continue keeping the secret.  Since I'm planning all this from another state, which is a bit of an extra challenge, I knew there was no way I wanted to attempt pulling off a surprise party.  Instead, I had the idea to simply send her an invitation to her own birthday party to inform her of my plans for her bday.  I thought it would be a pleasant surprise and a somewhat creative way to tell her. The good news is...she's already RSVPed! LOL!

I still have a lot to do for the party.  A good percentage of it is planned but many more details are left to do.  So I will be increasingly busy in the coming weeks.  It'll all be worth it.  I'm super excited to give my mom this party. I think I'm getting more excited by the week.  She deserves a big bash to celebrate number 60!
