I had the rare opportunity to witness an incredible person today! I helped plan a 40th surprise birthday party for Bobby Jr. After the SURPRISE moment went off without a hitch, the room was filled with so much love and admiration for this one man. It was touching to hear his wife, his children and the rest of his family talk about him and his accomplishments in the last 40 years! The room was full of emotions, all of the good happy ones that bring tears to your eyes. The night ended with the family dancing and having a great time together!
As the planner, I coordinated all of the details for the party from decorations to the invitations. We created a tribute wall to Bobby, with 2 huge 4 and 0 balloon sculptures, a banner and lots of precious photos of him through out his life that hung from ribbon. My centerpiece design was 3 framed photos of Bobby at different times of his life that sat in a triangular shape around a candle that illuminated the pictures and really made them stand out. It was beautiful and masculine all at the same time! Of course, we also included some of Bobby’s all time favorite treats, which are Snickers, Smarties and gumballs! It was a great party!
