In my lifetime, I don't ever remember my parent's having a single party.
Therefore, having them throw themselves a 50th Anniversary Party is a very big deal. They wanted a DJ *yucky* so I convinced some relatives to chip in for the music and dancers. We felt the dancers were a nice touch because there were a lot of widows and widowers at the party with "no date" so they only danced after being asked by one of the dancers.
It might seem extravegant in this economy, but I am not sure if they will ever have another party again. (However, after it was over and I finished all the party planning they told me it was my job to plan my father's birthday party - and I'd have to top this surprise.) lol :eusa_doh:
Kim_B said:True, to some it may seem extravagant with the current state of the economy, but I see it differently - you were making memories for your family, and most of all your parents. You can't put a price tag on something like that. Well done, Miss Betty! :eusa_clap
