Party Gifts.....

I spoke to some of last night's party guests during this afternoon, and they were all saying the same thing-- that they had the best time last night. And everyone was thinking the same thing: what are we all doing to make these parties better and better each and every time?

Magic.....! Everyone just walks in here expecting to have a good time, and they do. We have a few friends who are very quiet, but even they let loose after a while and just have a great time. I think the decorations help a lot.... I don't go over-the-top with Valentine's decorations, but there's something in each of the rooms to remind everyone of the holiday, and the centerpieces on the living room tables really set the mood.

Just like for our last Valentine's party, I gave each of the ladies a necklace of hearts--- Mardi Gras-type necklaces of plastic heart-shaped beads..... each woman picked out their own, with color choices of pink, purple, white or red. Most wore them around their necks, some wrapped them around their wrists. It was just a festive touch that added a little something.

I already talked to some of the wives whose husbands opened their gift bags and found the Valentine's ties tucked inside..... they loved those ties, and plan to wear them on Valentine's Day. Hopefully, they'll remember to wear them to our party next year. That will be a hoot-- for all of the men to show up wearing the same heart-spotted ties.

Well, I guess I've talked about this party enough...... Time to start thinking about the next one.
