It sounds like you had fun!
Well done. Looks like a great success!
How wonderful! So glad it was so fabulous!!
What an amazing job you guys did to make this Unforgettable for the folks.
It all looks just perfect!! Not many surprise parties turn out right like yours did. Everything is decorated so pretty too. I bet Miggs had a blast playing with the other dogs. I love the new picture of you and Miggs. It is so cute!!
Wow, it is just great that your surprise party was a big hit. I am really very impressed with these party arrangements. The marquee and décor was superb. I loved all these tiny details. Our grandmother’s birthday is coming and I would also be hosting a grand party for her at the outdoor Chicago event venues.
