When we started planning this thing we estimated 75 people ....by the time of the party we had 250. It was great though....lots of fun. :becky:


Thanks for looking!
 
Can't say much more than N8

That looked like one helluva good time, thanks for the pics
 
What a great party, had a good laugh at the PU full of adult beverages and another full of ice. I would guess a crawfish/crab boil in OK was a real treat for folks. Thanks for sharing.
 
I saw this on your website when you posted it. An awful lot of work but you make it look easy. Must of been one hell of a good time. I think I would have just as much fun preparing and cooking for the party than attending the actual party. Simply awesome.
 
Like the pics a lot. You need to be in some of them also!

The party looked like a good time was had by all.
Nothing like a food boil.
 
Looks like everyone tied on a good buzz and a giant feed bag!

Nice job, Sister!
