I’m not great at party preparations - the planning, the food, the decor, the themes - none of it really comes naturally to me. However, we did end up putting together a pretty fun party to celebration our 25th wedding anniversary. Silver is the gift for a 25th wedding anniversary which did help us anchor on a theme. I did some research on Pinterest, ordered supplies from Amazon and enlisted help - from ideas for where to put the bar, to ideas for lighting, assistance from ChatGT on quantities of food and drink ideas and some Friday afternoon helping getting decorations set up.
A surprise flower delivery from my sisters was amazing and added so much to my decor. We put the bar in the living room, had a dessert table (with cheesecake of course!) in the dining room and had the food in the kitchen. We were a little frazzled getting the last bit of the food finished, but we did it! We served two cocktails - a French 75 (with freshly squeezed lemon juice thanks to Matthew) and an Old Fashioned and also had wine and beer. The French 75 was a big hit!
And this idea was hatched because I wanted a reason to wear the “fancy” dresses I have in my closet and have no reason to wear them. How fortunate are we to have friends that are willing to indulge us and dress up on a random Saturday evening in February for a house party?
