There are some people that can plan things better than others. I have always been an individual that can organize, plan, delegate and manage most type of events from fund raisers calling for several hundred people to intimate dinner parties. I think a big part of this is that I love to pay attention to detail. I have always been this way. I notice small details from what is in a room to what a person is wearing to what color eyes people have. I have used these skills to be rather successful as a corporate event planner as well as a party planner in my private life.

Since I have been an adult I seem to be the go to person when it amounts to birthday party ideas as well as ideas for anniversary and retirement parties. Just instantly my children came to me calling for ideas for presents for dad and I am the one that have to advise on these matters. Indeed whenever I get worried at work my husband tells me to quit the trouble of corporate and take one of the numerous offers I have had from caterers to be their party planner. I have thought on some of these offers now and then; yet it is tough to give up the protection and income that I get from being involved with a big corporation. I enjoy getting involved in different birthday party ideas and other parities, nonetheless I am a part of the corporation so I see the on-going effect that my attempts of raising funds has. If I would only plan and arrange various birthday party ideas I would not have any on-going feeling of satisfaction that something great was going to occur as a result of my efforts.

A few months ago my sister phoned me for birthday party ideas for her husband. He was going to be sixty-one. He did not wish anything special for his sixtieth birthday party last year. My sister has never been capable of surprising him in all the years they have been married. The only thing I suggested her was on the choice of retirement gift

in the past. Now she wanted me to help her pull off a surprise party for him. I told her that I would have to consider some diverse ways that we could pull off a surprise for him. I told her I liked the fact that she was making this on a year other than one finishing in a zero or five because people were more wary during those years. My brother-in-law is rather a hoaxer so I knew I would be capable of getting the assistance of many people to pull of several birthday party ideas. I have given my sister a few different ideas to consider for the event. My best bet will be also to find a special gift for my brother-in-law such as family ski vacation so as to surprise him. Once she gives me her decision I will start the planning. I am grateful that I got a way to put my skills to work.
