Okay, so pro tip from an event planner: always have a sneaky pre-event checklist. Include everything from catering to entertainment, and yes, the booze. Non-alcoholic wine can be great, but it's got a time and place. For an actual wine-themed party, trust me, you want that checklist. Live and learn, eh? Next bash will be better!

OMG, I actually snorted out loud reading this. That's a story for the ages and kinda what makes homemade celebrations charming? No one will forget that party for sure. Next time, maybe a pre-party wine tasting to make sure everything's right? Side note - if you ever need wine recs, I'm your person!

The grapevine wreaths and faux aged bottles sound incredible, would love to see photos! As for the wine mix-up, total bummer, but it's a mistake you only make once, right? Props for whipping up what sounds like a really cool DIY party, though!

Who needs alcohol to have a good time? Sounds like you put a lot of thought and effort into the party, and that's awesome in itself! Your mom's lucky to have you. Keep your head up and remember: it's the thought that counts. 😉

Non-alcoholic wine has its benefits, you know? No hangovers and everyone can drive home safely. Plus, it's all about the company, right? But yeah, I get it, not quite what you were aiming for when you say 'wine-themed'. Props for effort in DIY though!

haha, nothing screams 'party' like a good ol' glass of grape juice! Bet your mom never forgets this birthday. Epic fail 😜

Yikes, I can imagine the faces when everyone realised. Tough break! For next time: some non-alcoholic wines actually do a decent job mimicking the real thing, maybe have a couple on standby for those driving or not drinking. But yeah, the real deals a must for the full experience. Better luck next bash!

Oh man, I feel this! 😂 Tried to do a champagne brunch once and accidentally got sparkling apple cider. The toasts were... interesting. Made for a memorable time though!
