This is such a confusing post. Was the last party 10 years ago? Was there a 60th party in that room before and they didn’t clean up? Why is that infuriating other than you now have to clean up their balloons?
Arrived 30 minutes prior to the start time of our party.
Brought some token decorations to make it look like we’d made some effort.
We brought a single small balloon.
There was obviously a party the night before, celebrating a 60th of some kind.
Pub owners hadn’t removed the decorations from previous party.
We didn’t want to dispose of the original balloons in case their owners wanted to collect them and weren’t able to previously.
The 60 balloons sat there the whole time during our party.
Previous party organisers made us look like the absolute amateurs we are.
MILDLY infuriating.
Bonus extra item: nobody actually cared, just thought it was comical, emphasised by the placement of the 70th balloon, where each set of balloons is in direct proportion to the amount of sentiment held for the celebrant.
Reminds me of when I went to a baby shower for an incoming baby girl and the decorations were still up from a baby shower for an ungendered baby that were significantly more flashy. Luckily beigh and pink worked, but I bet they’d have rolled with it either way since more balloons is more balloons.
Plus knowing my grandparents, they’d love to pretend they’re 60, haha.
Congratulations Aunt Trudy! Today is the 60th anniversary of your 10th birthday and we got you this amazing balloon display.
Is it possible that the 60 balloons are celebrating a 60th wedding anniversary? The ring between the 6 and the 0 make me wonder. Not that a 70th birthday isn’t a big deal, but I think a 60th wedding anniversary is an even more impressive achievement than not dying for the past 70+ years.
