"Review" of my E-Party Sat 4/23!!!**UPDATED-NOW WITH PICS!!!**
Reporting back from the E-Party this past Saturday. Things were GREAT!! I will have a few pictures as the week goes on and people get them to me. I was not able to get that many pics on my personal camera. And I wish I had put a disposable (just one) camera on each table like I was going to.
For those you don’t know, the party was at The Beach Club in Rockaway Park, from 7-11pm in the Atlantis Room. I only have 1 VERY minor complaint. My dad asked the bartender for a drink that called for Crème de Mint or Peppermint Schnapps and the bartender said she didn’t have either. I checked my contract Sunday and saw that both of those liquors are on the list of provided liquors. Oh well. Like I said, VERY minor. But it was a “complaint” because it was for my dad.
We used Entertainment 2000 for DJ. Ray, who is a friend of my brothers for about 10 years or so, owns the company. The DJ’s name was Ed and he had and asst, whose name I can’t remember. They did a GREAT job!! We did a mini introduction (just announced us, we walked in and sat down) followed by my dad giving a little speech, which he had to fight back tears for!! The DJ’s lead us through the Electric Slide, the Cha-Cha 1-2 Step, and a dance for Get Down Tonight. They played all the music we asked for and didn’t play the ones we didn’t want!! Their office is in Yonkers, and I did all correspondence via email, phone and mail. I HIGHLY recommend these guys.
The flowers were from Farm Direct (will hopefully have pics this week). I had ordered 200 Vandella roses, delivered via Fed Ex on Friday morning; total cost was $149.95, including shipping. I put them in buckets overnight, and then brought them down to The Beach Club, where FH and Step-dad cut and put them in the vases for centerpieces. The vases were from Target, bought them back in September placed on top of a mirror bought at Frank’s while they were going out of business. On each side of the vase was a mini-galvanized bucket filled with sand and a tealight candle. Buckets were from Wal Mart and tealights from Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Overall, things were great. I learned a lot. Like some of the little details that I notice, not everyone else will. For example, there were to be 3 mini buckets on each table, there were only 2. And I forgot my jewelry at home. I had purchased a beautiful necklace at Tri-County, and forgot the darn thing at home! Oh, I was running late, therefore got dressed and did make-up at The Beach Club walking into the party 10 min late. I was fashionably late to my own party! 
I will have a couple pics tonight when I get home, and hopefully more pics later in the week!!
If you have any questions on anything, feel free to FM!!

Yeay Jill! You do look great...love your hair! And of course, the kitty pics are so cute. So glad you had a great e-party. I am sorry about the misshap with the drink (hate when stuff like that happens) but it's all a learning experience.
Congrats!
