Your party sounds like it will be so elegant and is chock full of wonderful surprises. How fitting to present the Bahamas trip in such a way. The kids will really be excited to be part of the party in such a special way and it will take your parents' breath away. I especially like the Wheel of Fortune idea - what a great way to get everyone involved.

A suggestion would be to buy a few balloons a head of time from whomever you intend to purchase them from (that is if you are not filling them yourselves). This way you will be able to know how long they will last. We took our Party City balloons that we bought here (our party was two hours away) and left them to be inflated on the date of the party at Albertson's in the city of the party. I don't know if they inflated them way ahead of time or if the balloons were too porous but ours were losing their inflation even before the party started. That was a big disappointment but really the only one we had so that was great.
The party is really all about celebrating the 50th with the people anyways.

Have a wonderful and blessed party.

Willa
