My mom retires Friday after 33 years at her job as a secretary.My nephew’s 5th birthday is on the same day. I want to throw them a small, family only party. I want to have my sister, her husband, my niece (age 6), my father and boyfriend attend. I plan on having the party at my parent’s house (my apartment is too small) on Friday evening. I want it to be more elegant for my mom but also fun for my nephew. I would like to serve appetizers and cook a special dinner something kid friendly yet elegant (chicken parmesan or salisbury steak). Maybe separate cakes (vanilla for mom, chocolate for nephew), cheap champagne to toast the retirement and sparkling cider to toast the birthday, etc…(this is where you fill in your ideas on things)

My dad’s boss and I are planning a large retirement/55th birthday party for him. We are planning for a large group of about 75 people. It will be a surprise party. Dad is a fisherman, so I’ve decided to have a fish fry and go with a “gone fishing” theme. I’ve found plenty of party favors and decorations, but I’d really like to get the guests involved.

I think it would be hard to play games with that many people. I’d like to try to have some activities that are fun and funny that will make the party truly memorable. Dad is not a sentimental person, I don’t think he’d care too much about a scrapbook and I know he won’t watch a videotape. I’d really appreciate any suggestions you can offer! Many thanks.
