A few weeks ago my husband turned 30!

I organised a surprise party a few weeks before the actual date. We were supposed to have diner at our house with friends, but of course they knew about the party. The cover story was that their car broke down that morning and they would come by train. My husband than had to get them from the station with our car. In the 15 minutes he was gone (the train station isn't that far) about 25 people came to our house (family and friends) and I decorated the house, yes that was very stressfull!

And boy was he surprised! He never expected anything like that! 

This is the yellow bunting I made. I decided to do all the decoration in yellow, because that is my husbands favourite colour and we don't really have any yellow in the house.

I was to busy on the evening to make pictures, so I made two the next morning. The bunting in the picture above and this one:

Haha, what a terrible picture. I'll try to describe what is in the basket and how I decorated.

2 yellow/white tablecloths, one for outside, one for inside. We had Indonesian food catered (YUM!) so I also had plastic plates and cutlery. The small yellow buckets (with white polkadots!) were used to hold the spoons, knives and forks. For outside I had also arranged for three high tables. To make them a bit nicer I put some yellow with white polkadots paper placemats on them. The yellow bowls were for snacks and for some people to take leftovers home (we had a lot left).

I had made a yellow flag with a green 30 on it to hang outside the house. It was also the sign for the guests that the coast was clear to come in and B. was away picking up our friends. I had also bought a sign to hang on the window.

And the small '30' candles, which I forgot to light…but that's ok, because we can use it all again in November when I hit the big 3 0 !!

Oh and L. is starting to eat real food, how cute is that!
