Going Away Party

My husband will be leaving for boot camp the beginning of January. I am looking to throw him a family party just to say bye and remind him that we're all supporting him in his decision.

Any ideas? We've got a blank slate right now and plenty of time for lots of DIY.

  • I wouldn't have anything too stressful maybe just an open-house, stop by and say bye kinda thing.  Since it will be Winter, maybe you can do a chili or soup bar?

  • I wouldn't do the going away party the week before he leaves.  Maybe  two to three weeks before.  The week of is going to be stressful for him (he'll have a lot of unknowns and what if's to contend with).

    Why don't you do a pot luck?  If people look for suggestions on what to bring you can tell them to bring one of your husband's favorite foods.  I think the important thing isn't the decorations or the favors but more the people who attend.
