ritaload...Just a heads up. I went into our Walmart here in Cheboygan and they are loaded down with the Sandwich Wraps! I haven't been in there for a while and didn't think to make a special trip to Walmart to look for them because they didn't come up on the Product Search. I feel so silly! It's good to know that my guests don't have to go out of their way to redeem their coupons, though! And they were only $2.98 at Walmart (more like $3.59 at Glen's in Petoskey).

HAVE FUN EVERYONE!

What a wonderful party shipment. Sorry my computer downloaded a virus and I just got back everything so I know I'm late posting this one. I'm asking all my guests to bring something for a beach party and a favorite healthy recipe to share with the other guests. Even my dogs will be in beach mode today with beach bandanas on to greet everyone at the door. The lemonade and iced tea are ready to be chilled, the picnic ware is on the table (since last weekend I might add) LOL and the bingo prizes are ready to be handed out. I will upload pictures as soon as the party is over. Hope everyone has a great party where ever they are!!

I've already decorated with my Jimmy Buffett/Margaritaville theme, have the music ready to go, and have the salad ingredients and flavored teas chilling. Thankfully, it will be sunny and warmer this weekend (in the 50's), so I will grill outside. So hard to keep my hubby out of the wraps; he already ate the mocha bars...I had to go buy more. The wraps look fresh and delicious. Since I may not have enough water bottles/gift packs, I also bought fitness DVDs to give away, and a yoga mat/DVD for a bigger prize.

Beach towels, umbrella and pails ready for decorations, goody bags almost done, and recipes ready to start! I didn't get the wraps yet for fear I would eat them! But I am so fortunate as to have them at stores all around me! Have a great party everyone!!! Problems with camera but husband working to fix!

I bought bright-colored paper plates and tablecloths, sunflower napkins, and a very colorful bouquet of fresh daisies as decorations for my "Think Spring!" theme.
I made fresh lemonade and herbal iced tea. After reading other posts, I want to make goodie bags. I'm going to decorate some brown paper bags with colorful spring-themed pictures. I'm excited!

I got my goodie bags together and found our wraps for the party at Walmart. they look good and I can't wait to try them. I got all of my paper products together and the game is ready to go. I'm sure the women will play more then the men.

LoriEM...thanks for the info. We are heading towards that way the following weekend, so I am going to make sure we get some when we go there. I am in Iron Mountain area and our son is near Grand Rapids. I am hoping they have some there that I can pick up. I loved your winter scene. Good Luck at your party. We are all excited about tomorrow. I am sure you are as well. Thanks again for the info.

ritaload, I'm in Cheboygan (just south of the bridge), and when I used the search engine to find the wraps, the only location within 25 miles was St. Ignace (Glen's). I didn't want to have to cross the bridge and pay the fares, so I checked Petoskey, instead. Their Glen's Market carries the Turkey Bacon wraps and the Southwestern wraps. There are 2 Glen's Markets in Petoskey, and only one of them carries the wraps.

Out to pick up wraps today, getting my drinks ready too. This is going to be a blast. I will have to try out the wraps I know I will not be able to wait so I will have to purchase a few more.

Forgot to mention that I ran out to my local Harris Teeter today (grocery store) and happened to see South Beach Living PIZZA there! I bought a couple, but I am wondering if I should serve them at the party or will it take the spotlight away from the bars and wrap kits?

I have 20 people confirmed coming with a few neighbors who might "pop" in. Although I bought extra wrap kits and bars, I think SOUTH BEACH LIVING pizza might be needed to fill everyone up. What do you think?

Oh, the only other things I am serving are a fruit basket (you know, fruit salad in a watermelon) and a big veggie tray. We're having some tropical drinks, like the recommended "razzmapolitan" too.

Palaoro said...

I am ready to party!

I have my "luau" decorations and paper supplies bought, along with extra bars and wrap kits.

I have been walking every day and "south beach dieting" since I got picked to host this party and have lost 7 lbs so far. I can't wait to encourage my friends and introduce them to the South Beach foods too!

Thanks again Houseparty and South Beach Living - not only for allowing me to host an incredible party, but for improving my health and fitness, as well!!! :)

I am getting my goodie bags ready to today! I stuffed everything inside the bottle-coupon and a bar to take home. I want to get some of the powdered drink mix, but couldn't find it today. Will try another store tomorrow.

I had no problem finding the wraps at my local Hannaford grocery store... I am just about ready for my party too. I picked up balloons, paper plates yesterday. I bought a couple inexpensive excersize videos that I will be giving out as prizes for bingo...and my daughter and i are using beach themed scrapbooking supplies to decorate our goodie bags..

ritaload said...

LoriEm... Where in Northern Michigan did you find the wraps? I am from the U.P. and could not find them. I had to have one of my relatives pick them up and mail them to me.

ritaload said...

I am so ready for this party. I had my cholesterol checked the other day and yesterday I got my results....378. What a shock. So, I decided to follow the South Beach Diet. I have about 12 pounds total to lose, but I have my health to gain. After all I have read on their website, I figured I cannot sell this item without being on it and what better way to start than to do it for me. I will keep you posted on how I am doing as time goes on. I am a petite lady so most folks are just amazed that my cholesterol is that high. But any one can have it. Have you checked yours lately?

I talked a friend into bringing his boat to give rides during the party AND the weather is going to cooperate!

I'm SO glad I live in FL where staying fit w/ South Beach products is a year round pursuit! Thank you HouseParty & SouthBeachLiving!!

I have everything ready for the party. I have my recipes to cook an my decorations. I wil prepare bags with the gifts for my guests. It will be a great party. Thank you House Party for this wonderful opportunity to share and learn with my friends.

I had to drive an hour to purchase the wraps here in northern Michigan. They were really hard to find, and then I couldn't get the Chicken Caesar flavor.

One thing I'll do at the party is take individual photos of guests and mail them out after the party as a postcard. I bought some hibiscus hair clips from Oriental Trading Company and each guest will get to choose one. I also picked up a cheap bronzer and big brush so we can all get some color into our pasty white Michigan winter faces. Then we'll throw on a pair of glam sunglasses to finish off our photo-op look.

I'm going to use sea shells that I collected on a past vacation as table decorations to add to my beach theme. I also bought a couple small squishy octopus at the Dollar Tree to use.
