Enjoying Healthier Food On The Go

I travel constantly for work, which hasn't been great for my waistline. After eating in all of the best restaurants in the world for a few years, I realized that I had gained around 30 pounds. Fortunately, I was able to work with a health coach who taught me some valuable skills for my way of life. She taught me how to recognize unhealthy foods and swap them out for better options--even in foreign hotels. The results were incredible. I was able to lose weight while enjoying my travel adventures. My blog is for anyone out there who wants to enjoy healthier food on the go.

Learn How To Plan The Perfect Surprise Party For Your Parent's 50th Anniversary

by Margie Harris

Celebrating fifty years of marriage is important because it celebrates the love and commitment that a couple has had for one another. If your parents are about to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary, consider throwing a surprise anniversary party for them. The following guide walks you through a few things to consider when throwing the party.

Consider the Layout of the Venue

You want to be sure that all of the guests that will be attending the party can easily move around in the building. There are some people who cannot get up and down stairs easily, and choosing a venue that has as few stairs as possible may be your best option. Restaurants with banquet services and special rooms are often a great option for these types of parties because they are often all one level.

Consider the Food

When you are meeting with the restaurant that will be catering the party, you want to be sure that you talk to them about the type of diet many of the guests are used to eating. Elderly people often need to eat a diet that is low in sodium, cholesterol, and sugar. The caterer can come up with a few ideas for you and you can actually sample them before you choose what should and should not be served at the party.

Consider the Entertainment

When you have an anniversary party for people who are a bit older, you want to be sure that you hire a DJ or band that will play respectful music throughout the event. Be sure to impress upon them how important the event is and how tasteful you want it to be.

Hire a Photographer

You want to be sure that everyone moment of the party is captured and hiring a photographer to take pictures is a great way to do that. He or she will arrive before the party begins to get pictures of the venue and will then take pictures of the guests of honor, as well as the other guests who are at the party.

Planning a surprise anniversary party takes time and dedication. You should start planning the party a few months in advance to ensure you have time to send out the invitations to the guests so that they can RSVP if they are coming to the party or not. This allows you to be sure that you know how much food to order and how many seats need to be set up for the party.
