You may want to print out the tribute website ahead of time as a back up plan and bring it with you. Or if the party is at your house, you can stash it in a drawer.
Its always good to have a plan B. What if you signed up to create a tribute gift in plenty of time, you got lots of contributions, planned a party, everyone showed up, you gave your card with the invitation emails from Tribute A Gift enclosed, and your guest of honor reads them, gets excited to see what you've done for them, and you bring everyone over to the computer but can't get the browser going because your internet access is down. Oh no, what now?
Its not a problem, because this morning while preparing for the party, you printed out the whole tribute website and hid it in a drawer under the computer. So you just whip it out and hand it to your special someone and explain that their tribute is on the web indefinitely, so they can see it later. Meanwhile, they can read aloud from the paper version.
Thank you plan B!
About Me
- Tribute A Gift
- I wanted to do something special for my father's 80th birthday. I decided to make a tribute to him like my sister-in-law Robin did for her mother. Robin collected thoughts and good wishes from people who knew her mother Shirley and printed them on decorated paper.
Lots of us gathered at Shirley's house and we had a very special time. Shirley read them aloud and our hearts were touched in a powerful way. Especially Robin and Shirley.
This is what I wanted for my father. Except I did it on the web. And it could not have worked out better. My mother caught my eye while my father was reading his tributes and mouthed the words "this is the best thing you've done IN YOUR LIFE".
We occasionally laughed and cried as dad read each of his tributes. We had an evening we'll never forget. I was happy I could make my father feel so special, and proud of myself for putting it together.
Weeks later, my mother suggested I might help other people experience the same profound and warm emotions that we enjoyed with my father. And that's why I created "Tribute A Gift".
