This past Saturday, we finally had our cocktail party!! It’s funny, our friends called it a housewarming party since it was the 1st visit for many, but that was never the intention. We honestly just wanted an excuse to have our friends over to drink! This was my first time hosting a party that included more than 10 people, so this ended up being a much bigger undertaking than either Brett or I expected. In the end it all came together quite nicely. and along the way we both learned a few things that will definitely make our next party even better.
