The Committee to Plan Parties
There should be more themed events. And any event could be themed. Dinner parties, holiday parties, reunions, Bravo watch parties, neighborhood watch parties, and of course birthday parties. And if you're going to have a theme, why not go as far as you can with it?
Here are a few of my highlights. Hat tip to AI for a little design support and making my hasty photos look presentable.
