Party Planner Please?

Dear Friends,
I need to throw a Grand Opening Party for Doug's office.
Now, I love me a good party, but I'm no professional party planner and I don't feel qualified to throw this caliber of shindig.

See, for MY type of party, I buy some yummy desserts, invite a bunch of people over, we hang out, listen to music, and possibly play a really long strategic game like Settlers.  (If my guests are the type of people who like Settlers.)  Sometimes we watch Brian Regan clips on-line.

I don't do themes and I've never created a custom center piece in my life.  (Although I've made some epic birthday cakes.)

Therefore, clearly, I need a party planner.

One catch:  I can't pay you.  Except with my love and adoration.
Doug can though!
With FREE DENTAL CARE FOR YOUR KID FOR ONE YEAR!!!!
(Is that worth a party?  I dunno...I get free dental care for my kids.  Do I need to sweeten the deal with a shoulder rub?)

If you come from out of state, I'll even throw in room and board in our guest room (or garage depending on if I've met you before...)

In exchange, you would plan and throw the party (with a tiny budget provided by us) and then a bunch of people would show up, think it was awesome, and give us their unwavering loyalty (and business) for life.


One other catch:  We should probably do this thing in the next three weeks.  
No pressure though...!


Sound good?

Great.

And hey, I've already made a huge contribution!
I bought...

Tooth shaped tooth-picks.

You're welcome.

So do I have any takers?

Anyone?

Hello?


echo...echo.....

(And before you ask, YES I'M SERIOUS!!!!)

(Why does no one ever take me seriously?)

(Don't answer that!)

Pediatric Dental Office Decor

We're working on decorating Doug's office.  It's being painted this week.  After that, new carpet will go in.  Then we'll need actual furniture.
Green is really tricky!!!

The theme that we've come up with is...
*drumroll*

vintage modern.

Vintage because I love it.  Modern because it's "in".
(This part has all been decided, so don't try to change the theme.  It's TOO LATE!)


So, here you have our logo.  Very modernish, right?  Say right.
(And no, you still don't get to know my last name, Creepy Stalker.)

Then we have the following as options:
THIS is where I need your input.  Let me know what you think about the following items:

1.  Super modern couch by Herman Miller.
2.  or this Ballard Design more classic couch.  (Comes in many colors.)
--or something else entirely...???--
3.  Wall Art from Land of Nod.  I really love these but they're $89 each!  (But that includes the frame.)

4.  Also from LoN.  $129 on stretched canvas.  (I really love this...it includes so many places I love.)
5.  What about a giant bouncy ball machine?  Is this a need or a want???
What do you think?  Which couch would you choose?  Which art would you want to see as a parent?  What magazines do you want to read and what would make YOUR dental experience better???
What are your thoughts?
HELP!!!
