Surprise Birthday Bash

Here are some pictures from a Surprise Birthday Celebration we did last August at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. It was a formal affair fit for a queen. The guest were invited under strict secrecy. The guest of honor had no idea she was going to her own surprise party. She thought she was going to a wine tasting followed by a fancy dinner with just the family. It was a great evening full of laughter and fun and the guest of honor was truly surprised!

DIY Table Numbers

Do-It-Yourself Gold Glitter Table numbers on a budget.

Here is what you need:
– Unfinished wood numbers from your local craft store

– Gold Metallic Spray Paint

– Gold Glitter Spray Paint

– Sand Paper

– Old Newspapers

Directions:

1) Sand down the rough edges of the wood numbers

2) Wipe off residue dry cloth or papertowel

3) Lay the numbers on old newspaper in a well ventilated area. Outdoors is best.

4) Spray the numbers one-by-one with the gold metallic paint

5) Spray the numbers one-by-one with the gold glitter paint

6) Let dry, Flip over and repeat steps 4 & 5

And that’s it. Really Easy!

Keep the finished table numbers in a dry place until you need them. Also note that the glitter does rub off slightly.

Cost for 10 numbers:
Unfinished Wood Numbers $0.89 x 10 = $8.90
Gold Metallic Spray Paint $5.95
Gold Glitter Spray Paint $9.99
Total $24.84 ($2.48 per number)

You can try this with any color you like. Standard colors tend to be even cheaper than metallic & glitter sprays.
