Relief Society Birthday Dinner

Tuesday was our Relief Society Birthday dinner. We planned, decorated, and prepared food from 10am to about 4:45pm. Then we quickly ran home and showered and were back by 5:15-5:30 for our 6:30 meeting!

Does this flower balloon look familiar? Yes, of course it does...it's my party decoration go-to. Notice how many their are.... I think like 15. Each flower takes 7 balloons and yes, I blew up up all of them all by myself.... plus a few extras for the kids that were hanging around us. My lips were a little chapped and I was slightly light-headed for a bit. :)

Keri made this smaller banner to put by the food table. So cute!

"Charity Never Failith"

Our fabulous "floating" birthday sign.

Each table had an assigned color. Each name tag had a colored dot. We asked the ladies to sit at the table that coordinated with their name tag dot... trying to mix things up a bit. Not completely successful, but still a lot of fun.
Each chair had a "get to know you" question attached with a magnet. The ladies were to ask each other their questions and hopefully learn something new about the person they sat next to.
The magnets were gifts to each sister, along with the Relief Society declaration.

Keri also made Relief Society trivia questions and put them at each table. Do you know the original name of the Relief Society?

A variety of cupcakes were our centerpieces (and dessert). We attached a single helium balloon to each cupcake holder.

Everyone enjoying their Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner.

We had a musical number.....

...and 3 women, from 3 stages of life, talk about what R.S. has meant to them over the years.

There was a quilt to tie...

...and a Hawaiian hula dance to be learned.

Our evening ended close to 10:00pm with clean up.

Whew! A long, but nice day. :0)

Happy Birthday Relief Society!!!
