Mom's 60th Bday!!! HELP!!!
Hi Ladies,
This december my mom will celebrate her 60th birthday and the party planning has fallen into my lap. My initial idea was to throw a surprise party with EVERYONE near and far. But seeing as my mom hates surprises I decided to feel her out. Good thing I did because apparently I was completely wrong!
As of right now I have been told she want's a girls night in at her house with a list of a dozen friends she had provided me with. My mom is single and so not looking for a guy. The only other specification is that she would like chinese food.
What wonderful ideas can anyone give me on planning a women's night in for a small group of women who dont drink... with a chinese dinner?!
Any ideas are welcome!!! The good thing is I still have a decent amount of time let to get things in order but I am in desperate need of ideas!!!
Re: Mom's 60th Bday!!! HELP!!!
I have a friend who does Spa Parties- just like Ann suggested- she does massages- hot stone, reflexology, and a bunch of other stuff.
You could also think about seeing if you could get someone to do a cooking demo with chinese food for your group. So kind of like an in-person Benihana's or even make it a hands-on demo.
The first thing that came to mind was wine tasting- but since alcohol is out, you could do a chocolate fondue tasting- have a bunch of different types of chocolate and a bunch of side items like strawberries, bananas, rice krispies, etc...
If these ideas don't sound appealing, let me know- I love a challenge
I love the chocolate fondue tasting idea!!! My mom is a big chocolate person!!!
The massage party idea is amazing! But not for this crowd. I think I will save that for my sister in laws next birthday! :-)
