To be freaking out.....just a tad

[LavenderRain]

DS will be 18 at the end of the year,
He has just informed me that he has organised himself a party for 100 people >
And has asked if I would do the food for the occasion

I'm going to regret this arnt I??

Stay, I bet you are, they will be talking about the party for years by the sounds of it!

I let my DS have some friends round for his 18th and we went out, on the condition he was aware his 2 wee brothers were in bed. I think they were expecting crisps and nuts but I did a buffet (quite enjoyed that!) and he was secretly pleased all his pals raved about his Mums food!

Were there semi naked girls in the pool at 2am Susie?
Thinking how weird would it be to be outed over a party.

Sorry Lavender, taking over your thread.
Can you tell I'm still buzzing.
When is your DS's party?

He's lucky they agreed.

Most of the pubs and clubs around here won't allow 18th parties, because they attract too many under age drinkers.

hesterton yep - that post is why MN needs a 'like' button :D

Its not until December and its only a small club shed & wont hold 100!
He went to an 18th there in sept.

Update: party is this weekend, food is ordered, banners purchased, embarrassing photo collage made,
Can't say I'm looking forward to it but DS is, so that's the main thing!!

I will report back after the event...........

Eek good luck! Just have a few wines, relax and enjoy

Good luck! What food are you serving then?

exasperated no wine, I have to drive there and back, it's 20 min drive away and no doubt I will have to take some stragglers home!

finn I have ordered party sandwiches from Costco, vol u vents from Costco (just to wind up DS as he thinks they are gay)
A birthday cake from Costco
On the day I am cooking pizza and sausages to take along,
Hopefully that lot will soak up some alcohol

They will have a great time lavenderRain, my ds organised his own but wanted it here, all his friends and my family came, it was a brilliant night, no one got stupid drunk, I had plenty of food organised for them and also a huge pot of soup, no one had touched the soup by the time I went to bed but when I got up the pot was empty, they all had a good mugful with rolls about four in the morning to help with hangovers.

He's 24 this Xmas and we are thinking of having something similar but on a smaller scale as the girlfriends will be around so they like to behave

Hope you all have a great night

Oh how lovely, he'll never forget this! hopefully in a good way sweet of him to invite his mum and dad too!

Thanks everyone. I think we are only invited for food/transport purposes

Thumbs up! Have fun

Party Update, I survived!!

The party went really well, about 40-50 turned up, all pretty much well behaved. One girl was really drunk by 9pm and we later found an empty litre bottle of vodka where she had been sitting

hesterton has hit the nail on the head!
There was indeed one or 2 girls sobbing at the end

Someone was sick in the sink in the loo (vodka girl)

One boy ended up covered in mud as he'd been outside looking for his phone

The 2 lads I dropped home were extremely sober and sensible and thanked me for a lovely party

DS had a fab time, had a fair few drinks and a couple of shots I wasn't counting but was 'with it' all evening

There is a ton of food left over, the savouries went well but not so much the sweet, cake anyone???

DH and I went to the club today to tidy up, found a few full pints of lager on the grass and some broken glass, but over all no damage

It would appear to have been a success

DS has just got up after a doze, (he played football earlier) and thanked us for the party, bless him,

I'm on the sofa tonight, watching strictly, and I ain't moving! my turn for a drink tonight, cheers!

Glad it went well.

Aw I'm so pleased it all went well.

Thanks
