LiveStrong Party

 So I am finally posting the pictures from David's Live Strong/Birthday/Survivor Surprise Party. This was so much fun to plan and do. Although searching online for ideas was really difficult. There was hardly anything! So hopefully others looking for ideas stumble upon my post so they can have some inspiration.

  I basically wanted to incorporate some of the language and things that had become part of everyday life. I also wanted a lot of yellow. I had most of the guests wear yellow (well those that remembered). The fun part was that David had No idea! This was my first surprise party that I have ever been to that was successful. I do not have any really good pictures of David being surprised unfortunately.

 Nora made all the food, which was delicious! We had a really wide variety of foods. We had chips and mango sals, beans and corn salsa, mini corn dogs, and mini pigs in blankets, eggs, veggie platter, fruit platter, cupcakes, a really yummy fruit dip, ranch dip, and chocolate sauce dip.

 I made the bunting happy birthday banner and the big fans out of paper. These where really fun to make and hide from David.The streamers are just cheap streamers that i sewed together. And made them cute a ruffled! We bought the flowers with cute buckets from walmart and the dollar store.

 We had a lot of balloons hanging across the hanging open thingy loft balcony. The poster were made by his younger sister, they say LiveStrong, congrats, happy birthday, cancer survivor.

 This was also really fun, coming up with fun names for our food, that corresponded with our life for the past forever 7 months. TPN is nutriton through your veins. When David had a blockage from the tumor he could not eat. So they hooked him up to this for months a month. David was on sooooo many pills during this time so I could not leave out the drugs.

  I bought the liveStrong bracelets online for our party favors. These where big hitsStron! The little LisveStrong labels where actually the back of the bracelets, which was awesome and super easy to leave out everywhere.

Overall everyone had a great time and David was feeling great, which had not happened in a while. It was fun and bright... My happy cancer free husband! :-D
