My husband’s birthday is this Thursday, but we didn’t really start discussing what he might want to do to celebrate until late last week. He decided he’d like to have some friends over, so I pried a list of e-mail addresses out of him on Saturday morning and sent an Evite.
It’s been almost 24 hours and so far the guest list looks like this:
- Him
- Me
I believe I’ll wait a few more days before I make a run to Costco for hors d’oeuvres and beverages.
When he and I first got together, I threw him a birthday party at our tiny apartment. I didn’t know his friends and e-mail really wasn’t in the picture back then, so he must have given me their addresses so I could send invitations.
I remember that I made a rum cake and bean dip, among other delightful snacks. One guest arrived on time and hung out for an hour or so. Then he had to leave, and this guy came by for another couple of hours. Yes, everyone we knew had big hair back then.
They turned out to be the only guests who showed up out of probably 10-15 invitees. Awkward!
Needless to say, I’m hoping we don’t have a repeat of that situation on Friday. At the very least, I know that the guitarist for our original project will be there after he gets off work at 10. Maybe I should rent a couple of DVDs to keep us occupied until then.
