Hey, girls! I need some input. I posted to this thread a few months ago about getting my DD VIP tix to the JB concert in Charlotte. I bought the tix and plan to give them to her as part of her 13th birthday present.
I've been working on a photobook for her from last year's concerts that we went to (I planned on giving it to her for Christmas but I've just been busy and have just now gotten a chance to finish it. Yes, I know that is a LONG time, but I did the best I could). Anyway, I was thinking of wrapping up the photobook from last year's concert and putting the VIP ticket info for this year's concert in the back of the book as a surprise when she finishes looking through the book.
Now...here is the input I need...the concert is actually 2 weeks BEFORE her birthday (the concert is Aug 21st). I'm trying to decide when I should give her the photobook w/the tix. Should I go ahead and give her a couple of weeks to anticipate the concert or should I wait until a couple of days before the concert? I'm afraid to give it to her too far in advance because then I'm afraid it won't seem like her Birthday present because it is still over a month until her birthday. But, she is getting an extra ticket to take a friend and I want whomever she chooses to have time to get permission to go and all of that. What do you guys think?
One other dilemma....I signed my daughter up for the Team Jonas Fan Club (which I'll give her as part of her Bday) and submitted for the chance for Meet & Greet passes. IF...and I know it is a BIG IF...we win Meet and Greet passes, I don't know what to do about her friend who will be with us. Since my DD will be under 13 at the time of the concert I would be able to go with her to the M&G, but her friend would not be able to go. As I understand it, you only get 1 M&G pass plus a parent if you are under 13. I would feel just AWFUL for her friend not to be able to go.

Chances are we probably won't get the M&G anyway, but I'm one of those people who plan ahead for every possibility. As teen JB fans, how would you feel about that...either from my daughters perspective or from her friends perspective. I feel pretty sure I know who she is going to ask to go to the concert, and if I'm right, she is a very sweet and kind girl. My guess would be that she would want my DD to go, even if she couldn't but I just don't know. It might not be an issue anyway.
Sorry for the long post...here is a little JB treat for you...here is a link to a slideshow of the photobook I made for her from pics I took at last year's concerts in Raleigh and Virginia Beach. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your input. After the surprise, I'll have to direct my DD to this thread, if you don't mind. She would probably fit right in here.

(And then she'd be horrified that I posted here! He! He!
