Dinner Parties

Since living back in Salem, I have found this new found love: Dinner Parties. I am not talking about potlucks, nor am I talking about a quick grill.. but I am talking about full fledged parties where I have a group of girls (pretty much my college girlfriends) over for a night where I have prepped for them. It's a new passion and definitely going to happen about once every two months.

I was driving a friend of mine to the airport the other day and he said,
Him: "You know what Meg? You seriously act like your 40..."
Me: "Hahahaha... WHAT?! How??"
Him: "Well, ever since I met you last year you have always been planning these ridiculous social events. Like instead of just having a party, your party has to have a theme. But this year now your parties have special invitations."
Me: "Yup, pretty much. I never thought of it like that. Dangit."

So that tells you... this passion of mine is making an impression on others. Maybe for the neg. Haha, but really I love doing them. I'm thinking that my next party will be during February. Probably like a Valentines themed party or something. However, I'm not dumb enough to have it ON Valentines day. I know too many ladies who have significants AND a girl wants to have a turnout. Also, now that I am back in Salem I will probably be extending my invite list to a few more Salem girls who I am getting to see more. Pretty much for me, like Independent Womanhood, dinner parties are a lifestyle. Ohhh one more story.

Diff Guy: "So do you ever think about like inviting guys to your dinner parties?"
Me: "Well I have thought about it, but I don't know I think that guys could potentially ruin them.."
Diff Guy: "WHAT! Hahaha... not cool Megan. How would guys RUIN your dinner parties?"
Me: "I don't know.. maybe not... I'll have to think about it. Maybe the Feb one."

So I will be keeping that idea open. Chels and Jfay thank you for giving me this idea as a blog. I could have probably gone off for a while, but I decided I will refrain... like you said, "People like pictures more than words.." So here are some pictures of my two parties so far : ) Latesky.

This one is from my first party. Less formal and more fallish.

Second dinner party crew. Christmas themed and cocktail attire.


I surprised the girls with blank frames and had the group pictures developed, which made a cool craft to do.

Well those are the DP pictures. (DP = Dinner... not Dance Party) Happy Saturday everyone! Since today is totally a storm and everything I will be heading over towards Copperfield to see my girlfriends soon..
