The Committee to Plan Parties
The Committee to Plan Parties
The best part of any event is the stories that come out of it. But the best events begin with one. Family reunions, high school reunions, dinner parties, holiday parties, Bravo watch parties, neighborhood watch parties, and, of course, birthday parties. And if you're going to tell a story, why not commit to it?
Here are a few of my highlights. Also, the inspiration behind the committee.
A friend of a friend wanted to go big for Halloween. So we built a crime scene.
