This week marks my two year blogiversary, and in celebration I would like to cordially invite you all to attend my blog party this weekend!
It has been quite a while since I last hosted a blog party, and I absolutely love them! It will start on Saturday (please don’t post anything here), which gives you five days to select your favourite post. For those of you that have never participated in one before, the rules are simple:
1. Choose your favourite post from your own blog. The subject of the post can be anything you like – blogging, food, parenting, life, travel, thoughts, photography… Note: This should be only one post at a time or it will get sent straight to the ‘spam’ folder and I may not be able to find you for a while.
2. Paste the link to your post in the comment section of the party post ON SATURDAY.
3. Enjoy! Relax, pull up a chair, meet new people! Find new blogs, comment on their posts, follow, reblog and share. Let them know that you met them here! This is a really useful way of discovering new blogs, particularly if you have only just joined the blogging world and when I have participated in similar things I have really enjoyed them!
You don’t have to follow me to participate, you don’t have to be an established blogger – you could have written just a single post – and feel free to invite your friends!
Feel free to share this post on all of your social media accounts too! You can find me on Twitter and Tumblr @suzie81blog, and don’t forget to visit my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/suzie81speaks
See you on Saturday!
This is a really nifty idea!
Thanks! I’ll see you on Saturday?
I haven’t solidified my plans for Saturday yet, not sure how much time I’ll be able to spend online. I should at least be able to post a link, then come back later to check out other people’s blogs.
You’re welcome at any point – it will be on all day!
Great idea!! Happy blogiversary and I’ll be there at the party! 🙂
Thank you! See you then!
Happy blogiversary Suzie and here’s to many more!! Hopefully see you on Saturday!! ;o)
Thanks my lovely! See you then!
This is great! I have to leave very early Saturday morning, but I’ll try to post a link before I go or as soon as I get back. Thanks!
Thanks! Looking forward to it – see you then!
I’ll be off the blog-o-sphere that day and can’t participate, but wanted to take a moment to wish you a premptive “Happy Anniversary, Suzie!” I’ll be looking forward to pulling up a chair after the fact and raising a toast by proxy 😉 Cheers!
Thanks Ned! Have a lovely weekend!
Woo Hoo! party! will there be snacks and disco music? 😉
Absolutely! Although, if I’m in charge of the music there’s going to be some 80’s Rock in there too!
70-80’s rock is good by me!
Whitesnake?
or AC/DC, ZZ Top, Van Halen, Queen. Have to have some Freddie Mercury 🙂
Journey and Aerosmith too!
Blog party fun! 🙂
Absolutely!
Suzi, does WordPress notify you that you have an anniversary? Mine one year was on March 26th and I never heard a word??? I am all for the disco music at your party. ❤ 😀
It usually does – it sends you a little badge? I’m up for a bit of disco too!
Not a word from them. 😢 Disco it is! 👠
Aww! Why don’t you contact them?
Great idea! I’m looking forward to taking part Suzie:)
Awesome! That would be great – see you then!

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Yeah sounds fab! Will definitely be joining!
That’s brilliant! See you there!
Cc for sure
What should I bring? I know, dip! I’m always a dip!
Haha! We definitely need a dip or three!
Happy Blogiversary Suzie and thank you for explaining what a Blog Party is I’ve been wondering about that for a while. Hope to join in the party on Saturday, looking forward to hearing the playlist!
Haha! Thanks very much – looking forward to seeing you there!
Sounds like fun! 🙂
Thanks Jackie! Hope to see you there!
Happy Blogiversary in advance, Suzie.
I wouldn’t miss your blog party. 🙂
Can I bring anything, besides a post? 😉
All the best, as always.
Cheers and to many more years!
Thanks my lovely! We could do with some small sandwiches?
I’m on it. 😉
Awesome! With the crusts cut off? 😉
ooh thanks for hosting this!! I’m so excited 🙂 See you saturday!
Thanks my lovely! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Happy Blog Anniversary! 📝🎉 Such a cool idea!
Thanks very much! See you there!
BYOB?
Steve, you are a legend. Bring Your Own Blog…
Ok, so when is it? Lol 😉
I was waiting for that haha! I had to keep putting on Saturday because there’s always one who doesn’t read it properly
Great idea. I’m in a different timezone in Australia. Can I still post and if so what time?
Hi Jenna – I checked it using a converter and when I start it at 8.00am GMT it’s about 5.00pm in Australia… I think? It will be going on all day so there will be lots of time to post on there…
This sounds great, Suzie. I’m brand new to blogging – have only ever done guest posts – and my own site is still under construction. But congratulations on two years of blogging, and it’s really interesting to start to understand bits and pieces about how the blogging community works. Thanks for the invitation, and hope to be joining you for your third anniversary next year!
Warmest wishes for a class bash, Nicky x 😊 x
Thanks very much Nicky! Are you on Twitter?
Fabulous!! I’ll pop a reminder to check this out Sunday my time 🙂
Thanks Rosie!
I love blog parties. I will be there. Congratulations.
That’s great! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Happy Blogiversary Suzie!
Thanks very much!
I like the idea. I will try to participate, it will be my first Blogiversary Party, i´ll do my best to be with you from Spain.
Ooh that’s great! Happy Blogiversary to you too!
Thanks for the Like on Adventures of a retired librarian. Happy Blogiversary – what an amazing success you have had in just two years! Also, I read your post on leaving teaching – good luck with the career change. I used to work in university which educated teachers, and I saw how hard they worked and how enthusiastically they set off for their first classroom post. I don’t understand those who denigrate teachers. There may be some bad ones but most seem incredibly dedicated to me.
Thank you very much! The job hunt starts here haha!
What a great way to celebrate! All the way from NZ!
Thank you! That’s why I love the Internet – you’re literally on the other side of the world and we can still chat!
What a great idea. Do I have to bring bottle?
Thanks! Of course – I’m more of a Mojito drinker myself so feel free to BYOB – Bring Your Own Bottle, and Bring Your Own Blog!
This sounds fun – what a great idea. Congrats on your two year blogiversary!
Thank you very much – looking forward to seeing you there!
I love this, Suzie and Happy Anniversary! I hope I have wi-fi where I am over the weekend! We’re setting up our trailer at our windsurf campground this weekend 🙂
Ooh that sounds great! It will be on all day so if you can get wifi you’re welcome at any time!
Happy Blogversary! I’ve just got back into blogging but you’ve always got something worthwhile to read over here. Will see you on Sat.
Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you there!
