do it in the morning

One of my Sweet Sixteen goals is to host 12 parties. Is that a lot? I think I need to stock up on candles.

I have a few ideas up my sleeve – and have heard some good ones from friends – making me excited to dive in to this adventure.

Right before we rang in the new year, we had a brunch at our house to celebrate a friend who was in town. Nothing big – just nine adults and four kids – and it was lovely. Everyone brought something and it was a carb-loading good time. After all was said and done, Mike commented that it’s fun to have a morning event, it means your whole day isn’t consumed with party planning and cleaning. I agree!DSC_0687 DSC_0690 DSC_0695

So a brunch in 2016 is on the list… perhaps another pizza night, maybe tacos? Here are some other ideas:

  1. My mother in law goes to an annual “alphabet” party. Started on A (obviously) and all the guest have to bring a $20 gift that begins with A. They do a Yankee swap kind of thing and play a round of bingo! Haha- sounds random, but she claims it’s great fun! They are now on G or something and it’s the same crowd every year. I do like traditions!
