MEDEVIL TIMES....



Those of you that know us, know that for the last six years, we have a BIG theme party! It first started out as a simple gathering of friends, bringing food, drinking cocktails and hanging out by a camp fire. Somewhere along the line, it developed into themes. Our first theme party was "Tropical". We ordered coconut bikini tops and blow up Palm Trees. The first year was fun but not everyone got into it....the guests that is! The following year, we had a "SURVIVOR" theme party! We had 5 challenges and teams with the Survivor head bands. We even casted off team members at a re-created "voting section". The year after that was "Cowboy & Cowgirl"! That was a BLAST! People were dressed up, we had a covered wagon to store the keg on ice, a Saloon w/ saloon doors! It was incredible...the detail that came out of all the planning. Last year was Austin Powers! Man, did we have some winners....



It has come to the point that we have "board members" that meet three to four months before the party starts so that we can develop the theme, give the men the blueprints of our designs so that they can build things for us. As we have become more detailed in our themes, we have also gotten quite elaborate in our invitations! This year, they are being delivered in tubes with burned edges and a wax seal! I cannot wait to post pictures from this year's party! Medevil times....here we come!
