The theme, we hid everything downstairs in my space, like the yard tiki lamps, paperhangers, and the tea candles we are using to light around his cake, 32 of them. No ballons, just candles on the patio for when we bring out the cake. It gets dark here around 10pm, so I don't know how that is going to work out but we shall see.
