But it wasn't without a few hiccups.
Points to remember when planning the party of a (one year) lifetime:
- Things will never go the way you expect them to.
- Men need specific instructions and To Do Lists in order to be productive.
- The dress you ordered online won't show up on time. (But breathe because Forever21 will save the day in a pinch- cute right?) ~ Find similar here.
- Find an amazing, dependable friend to help, then give her champagne.
- Your tiny guest of honor won't remember all the details you think matter so much, and your guests just want to share in the joy, so give yourself some slack.
- Eat and try ALL of the food you slaved over. Even the candy. You deserve it!
