You are going to have the greatest party ever and everyone will be talking about it for quite sometime ~

You can also make your party more memorable and fun by having everyone create their own hand painted & glitter t-shirts ! Try to get everyone's correct size and get plain white ones. It's best to do outdoors. Each of your guests will have a unique and creative lasting memory to keep from your special day for quite sometime ! Just Google all the supplies you'll need and have a blast !
My daughter's best friend went to visit her a few weeks ago and brought her t-shirt's that she created when they were 5, 8 and 16 years old.
They both are 28 today ~ what a wonderful moment they had to rekindle all those wonderful memories from their past.
I was thinking about going to New York City. What do you think?
