(no subject)
I have been far too eager in planning my 21st birthday. My invites are already ordered and arrived last week, my theme chosen, my guest list is (sort-of) finished, and the deposit on the venue is being placed next week.
I'm still undecided on whether to get a couple of people to do speeches, though. Speeches are one of those things which are great for the person whom they are about, but for everyone else they are a sort of necessary evil through which they have to endure.
I would love to have a couple of short speeches, I think. I'd get my childhood friend to do one, then two high-school friends to do a joint one, and then try to get Mum + Dad to record a video speech (since they won't be able to come down). I would limit them to three minutes and then bribe my guests to sit through them with the promise of birthday cake at the end. So I don't know. I guess I will ask the people who I would like to do speeches, and then if they agree go from there.
What do you think? Yay or nay to nine minutes worth of speeches?
Overall, I am very excited for it. It's the last big party I can have before I turn 30, so I may as well make the most of it.
