Where? DH's grandma's house (our house is a bit small and far away ish from where the rest of the family live).

Time/Duration? We made it for 12pm and ppl started leaving around the 3pm - 4pm time.

How many guests? About 20 - 25 ppl

Did you combine family with friends or do seperate things? We don't really have other friends with young kids so we kept it to family.

What worked? Everything - we ordered a cake (I'm no cake decorating genius although I've done a course on it lol), basic decorations, we had video and photo footage taken throughout the day (by my brother), it was hot so we had cold meats, salads, little pasties and sausage rolls, spinach and cheese triangles etc for food so no cooking had to be done, just heating.

What didn't work? Nothing - it all went smoothly!
