Making plans for my 40th birthday (part 4)
On today's episode: Decorations!My birthday is nine months away, so it's time to start buying all the decorations for the party. We're talking flags, buntings, cups, plates.. Pretty much everything that needs to go on the walls or on the tables. I need a special type of tablecloth, that is reusable. I found one online, which measures 51 by 70 inches, or 1.3 meters by 1.8 meters. I need three of those, and they aren't expensive at all.
The next thing I need are foil curtains. I also need three of those.
My entire shopping list is as follows:
Tablecloth
Foil curtains
Balloons
Red solo cups
XL cups
Stars and stripes serviettes (or napkins, for you Americans)
Cloth buntings
Garlands
Party tape with American flags
Small flags on picks
Big flags
I also need a costume for myself, but luckily, the birthday is pretty far away, so I don't have to think about that at the moment. For all the decorative things, the total cost is 1473 DKK ($211.50, €197.50). A part of me just wants to buy it all tomorrow, and just get it over with. Once I am done with decorating, it'll be the best thing you have ever seen! It's gonna be legendary! One of those parties that people will remember, even after ten years. After fifteen years. After 25 years! It's gonna absolutely rule!

Sounds like you have it handled...
Western gear as a costume or something similar...would be fun to wear on your day...gun optional...
Another suggestion if kids are invited...not sure if you mentioned that...but always liked assorted candy in a gift bag...just a thought...
If you waited til after Halloween...you could get a deal on costumes...here they get marked down half price after...
