Party number 2!

Happy 30th Dan!!!...well, he didn't think it was so happy as it approached...so I decided to rub it in a bit and throw him a surprise funeral party for the passing of his twenties :) I was crazy to try and pull it off only days before delivering but I couldn't let him down and had to celebrate big for this huge milestone! Brittany helped come up with the party theme and invitations.


I had Rubios to go which was the greatest idea ever...no working in the kitchen and wondering if the food was alright! We had a great turn out--especially for it being pulled together so last minute. Dan was a bit confused at first...but the whole night turned out perfect! My favorite part was the eulogy given by his best friend Matt and memories shared by all. We gathered around and everyone mentioned something about Dan-- an experience they had together or just something they love about him. After that night I thought,"now we can have this baby!!"
Everyone came dressed in black and surrounded this big picture of Dan in his twenties while waiting for him to arrive.

The black umbrellas gave a nice touch...probably one thing that confused Dan...the weather was great! The idea was for him to walk out into the backyard and everyone to just have a moment in silence before turning around to yell surprise. One person didn't get the memo so it ended up being a one person "surpriiise" and Dan was like wahhh?
I love my sweetheart and we love having friends over and eating! It was a perfect night! Thanks Brit for all your help!!
