Hey Guys!
As promised, here is my accounts post for the party.
I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone who trusted me to organise the party. It occurred to me later on (much later on) how much money was coming in and that it's been sent to someone they havent even met in real life. Blew my mind when I thought about it.
We started planning the party 7 months ago and in May 
On Wednesday November 14, after the Granny Flat auction went without bids for a second time, I contacted our airbnb host and asked to reduce our number from 13 to 5. He very kindly agreed and reimbursed us $665.54 (+ $35 = $700.54).
After consulting 
I always wanted to somehow include other members from the team in our celebrations so I decided to get 15 totes made up since we had 10 Steemians confirmed, 2 spares just in case we had last minute attendees and 3 just to giveaway. I later changed the number of totes containing consumables to 12 thinking it's not going to be possible to send wine overseas.
The remaining 3 totes are bare bones bags with just the power bank & calendar - I sent these over with
Those who don't know, we lost out caterer last minute.
Which, I suppose, was a blessing in disguise since we ended up with so much food for a quarter of the price we were quoted. The party food is actually still going even after we continued on Sunday and snacked together on Monday. I'm pretty sure I over catered and I shouldn't have slept on Friday night so I had time to make everything I wanted to make.
On Saturday I forgot to make.. The burger bites (but I made them on Sunday for the boys), the vegan schnitzel wrap I wanted 
Sooo much I didnt get to make. And I'm pretty sure I would have forgotten about the charcoal chicken if someone didnt remind me.
I also realised there is such thing as too much alcohol. I still have bottles of cider and wine. Seriously you guys, I can't even look at another cider bottle right now, though I may hit that last bottle of Sauv Blanc after writing this post to celebrate :D
We managed to raise $740 from post donations, room auctions and tickets over the course of 7 months. (Can ya'll imagine if the price of Steem was better? 馃槺馃槺馃槺馃槺馃槺)
All the dips and falafels were direct from our favorite vegan food supplier, which happens to be one of Hubby's clients and because the shop was opened specially for him by the owner after hours, there's no receipt... yet..
Ice bags! I totally forgot to factor in ice bags apparently we went through 11 bags over the long weekend. No receipts for these :D
Ohhh!! I almost forgot about this!
They were so shit, but I gave everyone a copy anyway lol. I used the 5 spare for magnets for the ver.2 of the calendar so everyone should have gotten 2 calendars in their gift bags :D
If you watch yesterday's d.tube video you'll notice boxes on the seats behind me.
Those contain two full gift bags with ornament and consumables for 
Thoughts?! Either way I wont be going to the post office until the Christmas craziness is done so any advice on this would be great.
I hope all the maths made sense, I'm not good with numbers. If it doesnt let me know which bits and I'll see if I can nut it out :)
