Shilpa's 30th Bday party - Ssshh.... It was a surprise !!!!

Me and my sister Shilpa, share the love for surprises. So recently, I threw a surprise party for her 30^th birthday at 25^th Dec,14. Here’s what happened!

24th Dec,10.30 pm - Her husband calls and informs that due to bad weather conditions, his flight has been diverted and thus he cannot make it to Jaipur for her b'day.
She curses the weather and becomes very upset.

25^th Dec, 12 am – Her mobile is flooded with the message from all her friends and relatives–

Her reaction – “So many people are sending the same message.... What’s happening?”

She is happy and confused.... She has no idea what’s going on!

12:05 am – midnight celebrations at her mayka -

4pm -

Welcomed at sasural by the in-laws...

The box says “Surprise Inside”. She opens this box and finds her first clue.... clue to what? A treasure hunt!

She can’t believe it’s actually happening!

4:15pm – She starts the treasure hunt. The clues are everywhere – under the table, in the fridge, below the pillow!

5.15 pm- She reaches to the 30^th clue –

Don’t give up!

You’re almost done!

Find your gift under the Christmas tree

And start un-wrapping the fun!

And what does she find at the decorated Christmas tree? Her 30 gifts and her entire family shouting “SURPRISE”

Is she happy? Yeah, she is delighted!!

5.30 pm – She opens some of the gifts....

She loves them!!

6:30 pm – The photo session

Angels wish Mumma a very happy bday and Merry Christmas !

Dress Code – Red!!

Yummy Food :)
