30th Anniversary Party Photo Overload Part 3

Ashley and I were emcees throughout the anniversary/ mini reception.  

I was talking about how great my parents were.

Here come the speeches.  First, the best man and my dad's best friend from the 4th grade.

Then, my mom's maid of honor, he cousin Carol.

Of course Grandpa, the father of the bride had to give his two cents.

Art, my 2nd dad growing up shared some nice things.

Uncle Tom, my dad's younger brother by ten years and mini dad talked.

And Aunt Sandy spoke for my moms side of the family.  Love her.

SURPRISE!!! 30th Wedding Anniversary Part 2

Photo of the fake invitation my sister and I made to get my parents to come to the fake party which was their anniversary party.  We are pretty tricky...

It was Sean's job to get my parents to the surprise anniversary party while everyone else set up or was waiting for them to arrive.  They were so surprised.  It took dad awhile to figure it out while mom was pretty quick.  Dad's expressions are priceless. So happy we were able to fool them.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this surprise happen and for being there over the thirty years they were together.

Surprise 30th Wedding Anniversary for my Parents, Part 1 Decorations

My sister and I threw my parents a surprise 30th wedding anniversary for my parents this past March 2013 with the help of a lot of family members.  Especially, my aunts and grandparents who were actually there for the wedding.  I wanted the colors of the party to be the actual colors of their wedding, which was hard to find, but fun.  Below are the decorations of the party and other posts will follow of the party.  

30th balloons were found at Party City.

Used my sisters wedding arch with tissue handmade poms and J for Jackie and D for Dan letters over napkins.

The entertainment setting up.  Skip did an amazing job.  We used balloons, lights, and pretty tule for the ceiling.  Wish I had a good photo of the ceiling.

We put up a sheet and had a projector to show old wedding and fun photos of their marriage throughout the years.

My moms beautiful wedding dress.

A table of photos, copy of wedding certificate, and their wedding candle.

A collage my sister made of them throughout the years.

We used the back pages of their actual wedding guestbook to have the guests sign at the party.

Food table before the food was put on there.

A delicious wedding cake that my aunt Sharon made.  Isn't it gorgeous?

"Your Journey with Dan and Jackie" this is where people could sign on a timeline a funny story or when they met them.

Beautiful flowers my aunt Linda put together.  What a talent she has.

The Bride and Grooms seating.  Beautiful!

Stay tuned for more pictures of the event and the surprise!
