birthday party supplies, birthday theme

What do you do when you are desperate to come up with a birthday theme in a short amount of time? Well, you could do what I recently did when I was faced with exactly that situation; you turn to the Internet. A week and a half before his 40th birthday, my sister in law decided that she wanted to throw him a 40th birthday bash. It had to be a surprise, and she wanted a birthday theme that was different than your everyday, run of the mill 40th birthday theme. She called me in a panic and said that I just had to help her. I could tell by the tone of her voice just how important this party had become for my sister, so I agreed to help her first come up with a birthday theme idea, and then help her find and order birthday party supplies.

Since it was her emergency and I needed to help her get everything ordered as soon as possible, I told her that she'd have to come over for dinner and as soon as dinner was over we'd sit at the table with our laptops and first come up with a theme like Rock N Roll Dinner Plates (8), and then we'd order birthday party supplies patterned around the theme. My sister was at our home within the hour and thanked me profusely for helping her pull this party off at the last minute. I suggested that next time she maybe try not to wait until the last minute, because if I'd been busy with a big project at work, I wouldn't have been able to help her with the birthday theme or ordering birthday party supplies.

After dinner we got busy and were able to come up with a theme pretty quickly, and then found some great birthday party supplies at Shop On Mine whose online store can be found by visiting www.shoponmine.com. It took us until 1 in the morning, but we got it all done that evening. Since it was late, and my sister was tired, she ended up sleeping in the guest room and went home the following morning. Her husband was working nights, so she called to tell him that she'd been helping me with some things around the house so that he wouldn't get suspicious and wonder what was going on. She definitely didn't want him to find out about the birthday party and even had the birthday party supplies sent to my house. She also ended up having the party at my house so it could be a complete surprise.
