Choose the location - if not specific, at least a general area.
Start with possible dates - give everyone months of advance warning.
Choose one date and stick with it.
Finding the hotel is more effort. Group rates helped us - Chicago folks paid $59 for a room with two double beds - a decent hotel for $30 a night if you shared rooms.
And for the itinerary? Quite frankly, everyone would rather hang out together. We kept trying to have all these things to do, what with it being in Chicago, but everyone wanted to party at the hotel together for the most part.
It's much cheaper, and it's a helluva lot of fun.
Congratulations for having carried it off, Sweetsub. It was obvious from all the planning and coordination threads, that you put a lot of work into this.
Years ago, I planned a surprise birthday party for a good friend and only forgot one detail: inviting the guest of honor.
I am not making this up.
Everything was just about perfect that night. My first apartment, decorated with enough fresh flowers and candles to make up for its first-apartment emptiness. Good food, music, a selection of mild reality-altering substances appropriate to the times...Best of all, there were some guests from out of town that hadn't been together since college. It couldn't have been more satisfying, until someone asked The Question: "When is J coming?"

Oh, my.
Were you able to get in touch with her so she could attend her own party?
(And thank you, by the way.)

Well...yes. She was at home, alone, feeling lousy because her friends had all forgotten her birthday. Imagine her, um, surprise.
It took some doing to convince her that it really was her party, and that she wasn't the last person invited to one that just happened to fall on her birthday. Thank god there were presents, as proof.
Her eyes were all red and swollen.
Allergies, probably.
I planned one more surprise birthday party before I swore them off. It was for my future ex-husband, and to make damn sure I didn't forget to invite him, I planned it at his house. I had help with that one. All the food and bev were at her house, and I'd given her a key, and all she had to do was set up the buffet after I took Future Ex to dinner.
The catch: that day, Future Ex decided he must buy a Christmas tree. A huge one. By the time he arrived home with the monster, we were nearly late for our dinner reservation and I had to drag him out of the house or I'd risk having my partner-in-crime arrive with all the food, etc., before we left. I tried to get him to leave the tree strapped to the car roof, but nooooo. Paul Bunyan had to drag this massive piece of lumber into the house, trailing needles, and leave it sprawled on the living room floor. Guests tripped over the thing all night.
No more party planning for me. I'm strictly a guest now.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I asked one of the Mods to close the thread down. If I'd have known you could do that I would have done it sooner.
Words can't express how deeply sorry I am about this. I've been sat here crying my eyes out for the past hour. I never meant to hurt or upset anyone, and I hate that everyone hates me right now. Everything's just totally messed up. Everything I say comes out wrong and is misinterpreted, and I just don't know what to do right now. I'm truly truly sorry and I hope you guys don't hate me and can forgive me at some point. I really didn't mean any hamr.

Darling, we're adults.
There is no hate, there is no need to cry.
It's ok to be bummed if you missed the party but you shouldn't throw darts at the ones who managed to go.
Make the next one.

I kind of like the Christmas tree party.

That was never my intent and I'm so sorry if that's what happened. I love you guys and Lit, and I'd be so lost without it. I'm so sorry I ever said anything.sweetsubsarahh said:Darling, we're adults.

I think all would agree that Vegas is a great location for multiple reasons...air service, hotels, things to do...also, the location is a good distance from many and there are almost always deals on airfare to Vegas.

Oh, sweetie. Please protect yourself from feeling as if you'd be lost without this. I know how easy it can be to get addicted. But it's not as harmless a substitute for the 3-D world as it can seem to be. It's a wonderful thing, being able to connect with people from all over the world, and have them accept us at face value, as we accept them. But there is falseness, and there are terrible misunderstandings that happen when communication is stripped of everything except our planned and edited words. Don't neglect the daylight world for this one, T.
Gotta go now. Post #67,522 needs some work.

Don't look at me...it wasn't my idea...my only advice is...stay away from the Circus Circus buffet...

The Circus Circus buffet reminds me of the mess hall in my army days...down to the plates....
