Hey guys,

it's party planning time! As you may know or not I am 20 now as it was my birthday yesterday. And I also threw my first ever birthday party since I got 9. 

And the way how things are, I always get a bit over excited and so I planned everything through. First of I looked for a checklist on how to plan a good party which you can find here

So first off I bought glow sticks as they are just great and you can do a lot of things out of them as well as see and glow in the dark. Then of course a party head for everyone and a bee pinata and a lot of sweets and confetti to fill that thing of course. Then I chose proper cups and glasses to drink out of, pepper plates, bowls, forks and knifes and napkins. Then a must have lots of balloons, I even have some formed as Pandas. :) And long lasting candles for outside.

I also have a lot of deco and cake candles. 

This is what I had one week before the party. I ordered all the stuff on Amazon and bought the rest from our local supermarket. 

Now one week before the party started I only had to actually prepare the food, by the drinks, some more chips and chocolate and plan the music.

The menu was going to be a homemade potato salad, sausages, a raw vegan carrot cake and a chocolate cheesecake, a normal greek salad and some herb baguettes. 

Theme: Drinks instead of presents (it makes more sense in german because it rhymes.) 

Location: my garden/ house (we built a fort upstairs out of a lot of blankets and pillows  so we could all sleep together which also was really fun, warm and cosy)

Who: I invited 8 of my closest friends who all showed up.

When: 20.09.-21-09. starting 5 pm 

To organize everything I opened a privat group on Facebook so everyone was always well informed and we could all communicate together.

The party itself

Finished with planning and preparing which took me the whole 6 hours on my saturday (but I had so much fun doing it) the party was very lovely. We all sat outside and played with kink lights for hours, then we ate a lot of very nice food and talked until mid night where we had a little desk firework and some wonder lights. I then got a song as well and my present which was a very big, big cake (we had four in total!) and a car which is crazy and a total surprise! I am so happy and excited about it.
