Hosting my FIRST Dinner Party (Girls Night!)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I hosted my very first formal dinner party, and everything turned out so cute! The occasion was Galentine's / Valentine's and all my friends came dressed to impress to compliment the theme--red and pink Coquette. We had a pink cocktail bar and a champagne tower. Chef Gabrielle McBay showed up and showed out with a fantastic pink monochrome menu, and my friends loved creating their own custom lip glosses at the DIY lip bar I built.

    I'm this way also but my friends look for me to be extra…now! When I scaled it back they were like, “wait! Who's going to do it now??”😂 some people don't realize what they have until you pull back your energy. Or, you can just get a new group of friends - not to replace, but in addition to. People who are just more in alignment with things you like to do.
