Every year for the past 12 years my sister and her husband put on a party. They do it "just because". They love to entertain and it is fun to get together with family and friends. The parties started in 01.01.01 and continued over the next couple years as cocktail parties, where their friends would come over, sit around, eat and share stories. Then she got me involved and the parties began to take on a whole new twist. They had themes, great food, decorations and some sort of live entertainment. We took picture give-aways at all of them and once the guests realized we meant "dress up" as a character, the parties went to another level. People looked forward to their parties. Some of the themes were Blue, Disco, Hawaiian Luau, Murder Mystery, and this last one, 12.12.12, was Green Acres. see video

We made home made apple, blueberry, peach and berry pies in the glass jars that were fabulous!
Plenty of food for everyone. Upscale cocktail hour and then down on the farm home cookin for dinner.
Throwing an entertainment party is quite extraordinary. Have not arranged such a party ever but would love to arrange it at one of LA venues. Will take my friend’s help as she is an experienced event planner and loves to host parties.
