How much of a schoolgirl am I? I woke up at 7, too excited to sleep more!
I need new friends lol. Or rather, maybe I just shouldn't try to entertain as I'm accustomed to while I'm in grad school with 22 yos who haven't officially had to grow up yet :P
The invitation I sent out was white with gold edges. Formal, right? I know! Because I figured this crowd wouldn't get the message, I had "cocktail attire" printed in teeny letters on the very bottom.
I got three, "uh, what's 'cocktail attire'?"
I got one offer for the guest's grandmother's marshmallow-fruit fluff...because you just know that white & gold invitation says potluck gelatin salad.
Yesterday, I got one, "yeah, I decided I'm going to the beach instead. See ya." and one, "oh, hey, so I haven't actually opened my mail in 17 days and I just saw the invite - I'm busy tomorrow night with another thing."
BLER!! LOL
At least I know the couple I'm throwing the party for (IHO their wedding none of us could travel to) will be super thankful and pleased. Since I hired kitchen help and will be able to relax, I know I'll have a great time, regardless of the rest of the people who do or do not show up and are or are not wearing jeans!
Re: Ramblings this morning
Well it makes for an amusing story at least. The gelatin salad... well at least it was a nice gesture (I'm being positive here
).
I'm sure the guests of honor will appreciate the effort you've put into the party.
Have fun.
