Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

        I know it's not Christmas but I'm pretty sad that my favorite holiday season is over. I spent hours on Pinterest this year, looking for new christmas ideas and fun traditions. So this past Christmas, Kaley and I hosted an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. It was such hit and we were proud hostesses. We set up a photo booth in a bay window with hanging lights in the back and over twenty props for people to pose with. The photos didn't turn out too well because the lights in the back made it hard to focus and slowed the shutter speed. But regardless, people had a blast and there were still some great photos! Our invitations were simple but we printed them out little and tied different ribbons around them, trying to use what resources we could find in my closet. We had a white elephant gift exchange and the variety made it all the more fun. Some people went home with onions or yams with faces drawn on them. Others went home with new headphones or a gold fish. (The gold fish was my doing, I have a slight obsession.)

        In the fall when I attend Florida State, I hope to continue my career in party planning because I just have so much fun doing it. I wish people threw more holiday themed parties! This year for Valentines Day, I think it would be cool if someone had a big double-dated Valentine dinner and the girls cooked together in the kitchen and everyone wore red. It's sounds kinda cheesey but I have heard of people pulling it off and it being a big hit. I just love themed parties and I wish they happened more often!
