Hey thanks for the advice everyone, especially about the ice because I did not think about that! My husband mentioned the no shoes thing to a few of the people he was inviting and they seemed fine with it, so we added it to the invitation just so no one is thrown off guard and shows up with holes in their socks or something. The invitations were passed out today and he said people are pretty excited. That’s always nice to hear. I am predicting we’ll have a good time. I’m really looking forward to it. I requested the Friday before off from work so we can clean the house real good and put up the Christmas tree and decorations.
