Party Decorations
My sisters and I planned a surprise party for
our dad’s birthday. He had not been feeling well over the past few months so
we thought a party would help cheer him up. We decided to invite relatives
as well as some of his friends. We rented the fellowship area of the local
church. Mom and Dad go to mass on Saturday evenings so we knew that it would
be easy to get him to the fellowship area without him being suspicious. We
wanted to make this a festive occasion so we decided to use party
decorations in the fellowship area.
Each of us has planned many parties over the years so we all had party
decorations that we had stored. We decided to get together a week before the
party to see what we would need for the space and to bring what party
decorations we had on hand to see what would work and what we would need to
purchase. I found that I had happy birthday signs, balloons and party hats
in my box of party decorations. I brought the decorations with me to the
fellowship area. My sisters also had signs as well as birthday streamers and
more balloons. We decided that we would place the hats on the tables along
with curling ribbons to create center pieces. We rented a helium tank to
blow up the balloons and we ordered fresh flower bouquets for the food table
and the table that we put the cake on. The only thing that we needed to
purchase was birthday napkins, because the fellowship area supplies plates
and silverware.
The day of the party we blew up the balloons and decorated the tables using
the party decorations that we had found at home. Once mom and dad were at
the church service we placed the birthday signs outside as well as around
the fellowship area. We had asked the priest to tell dad that he needed his
help in the fellowship area after the service was over. We were all in the
fellowship area with the lights out when dad walked in and the priest turned
the lights on. It took him several minutes to realize that the party was for
him. He was very surprised. My mom was pleased with the party decorations as
well as the food that we had made for the event. We had not allowed her to
help with the arrangements because we thought dad would get suspicious.
The friends and relatives had a great time visiting and dad enjoyed his
evening being the center of attention. We had kept the party decorations
simple so the clean up took only a few minutes. We had so much fun we
decided we will try to surprise mom on her birthday.
