H.,
I had THE BEST 40th birthday party. I had a hat party. Everyone had to come in some type of hat. I had a friend who flew in from Idaho and she made a hat that had a felt potato on top. My sister made a hat out of an ice cream bucket, frosted it with Royal frosting and stuck candles in the top. I met her at the door with her head on fire! My other three sisters came in the stepsister hats from Cinderella with the long scarves attached to them. We had a wedding veil, nurse cap, cowboy hat, baseball cap with long ponytail and I wore a tiara. It was a blast, not expensive and everyone had a great time. The pictures were so funny.
It is all about having fun, good food, great conversation and friends. I have had people tell me that my party was one of the best parties they had been to. People want to know what I am going to do for my 50th!
Have fun!
