Suprise party help

[Deleted User]

I was going to throw my OH a surprise birthday picnic this Saturday, but the weather forecast now says it is going to be a wash out. His friends said what about going to the pub, but we cannot afford this! This is why I thought a picnic would be a good idea because it is cheap to do. Any ideas on a surprise do on the cheap that the weather cannot ruin? My house is too small for a party unfortunately, our friends houses are fairly small too.

a lot of pubs etc have free function rooms.. just ring around and book one and tell everyone to still bring the picnic and you'll have benefit of a bar too!

Do you know of anyone who has a marquee or gazebo with sides that you could pitch in the garden? We did this for DD's 21st

As this has dropped down OS ive moved this to the special occasions board to see if you get some more input over here.

I can look you up plenty of OS threads on buffets etc but I'm unsure if that would be helpful?

Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Here, i've stolen a list from one of Pink Wingeds old posts
