Planning Week

Each time one of our daughters has married, Mr. Golfer and I have given an Engagement Party.  It has varied in size and form depending on what the couple wanted.  This weekend we will host another.  I will find myself pulling all the details together this week as life after the Christmas break resumes.

This party is a Cocktails and Dessert celebration. I believe it will be the easiet as there is no meal to prepare.  I have ordered all the desserts from the same baker that is doing the wedding cakes.  She is the most fabulous creator.  The reception site is letting me borrow a few linens that we are using for the wedding and I have ordered tables and bar ware to be delivered.  I own all the glass plates and champagne glasses for 60 so that detail is covered.

So this week I need to take care of the small details.  I'm ordering a picture to be displayed and deciding on table centerpieces. If I can get an advanced copy of the announcement ( which will be in Sunday's paper) I may have that on displayed as well.  All in all, I think most is covered.

Thank you so much for the kind words from Friday's post.  It was a difficult one to write, but I have felt so much better since it was done. It's always good to know that your feelings are validated even if it wouldn't change a thing.
