My dad turned 50 this year and Janice thought it would be fun to throw a surprise party for him.
We went through a couple of themes before deciding on a "Mustache" theme.
Which turned out to be really fun!
We made felt mustaches for those who couldn't grow their own, or couldn't find one to use. Along with Mustache glasses and had several party games.
It was really fun to see everyone participate in the mustache theme! Even grandma wore one!!
Our dad was so surprised, we had the party at our house, and to lure my dad over here I had invited him over for 'dinner'. We had everyone arrive about half an hour before he did. and obviously having a bunch of cars around the cul-de-sac was a bit of a giveaway, but he was still super surprised. He was walking up to the door when we opened it up. He turned to Laura, asking "What's going on? do you know?" All the while everyone is wearing (or holding up mustaches on a stick) on their faces! He was pretty confused, until we all started saying , "Happy Birthday!".
Everyone ate, and we put on a slide show of pictures of my dad, from when he was young to more recent pictures (a good amount of which he DID actually have a mustache!). We had put together a few games including matching mustache's to their names and then matching mustaches to their star's face. As well as awards for best mustache and best miss'stache, etc.
Grandma's 'stache and Uncle Mike's double 'stache :P
Kelsey had a pretty great looking one, and Tim used one of the mustache on a stick that we made!
Aunt Mercy definitely had a neat handlebar mustache, very Photo-worthy!
As you can see, some of the mustache's got traded around, everyone wanted a piece of everyone else's!
We even added mustaches on mirrors and mini 'staches on pictures around the house. Including our wedding pictures and pictures of the dogs!
Big shout out to Janice with her fantastic party planning skills and ideas! It's always so much fun to put parties together with her. Can't wait until our next bash!
