Hosting my FIRST Dinner Party (Girls Night!)
Рет қаралды 198,065
6 ай бұрынI hosted my very first formal dinner party, and everything turned out so cute! The occasion was Galentine's / Valentine's and all my friends came dressed to impress to compliment the theme--red and pink Coquette. We had a pink cocktail bar and a champagne tower. Chef Gabrielle McBay showed up and showed out with a fantastic pink monochrome menu, and my friends loved creating their own custom lip glosses at the DIY lip bar I built.

I'm this way also but my friends look for me to be extra…now! When I scaled it back they were like, “wait! Who's going to do it now??”😂 some people don't realize what they have until you pull back your energy. Or, you can just get a new group of friends - not to replace, but in addition to. People who are just more in alignment with things you like to do.

I’ve followed you Raven for so so many years, long before Ziya 💗and seeing your growth as a woman, a mother, a friend, a career woman, wow! So glad we get to come along on the journey! 🙏🏼 also it was cute and funny to see your risqué humor we don’t really ever get to see- just made me feel I’m also just one of the girlies having a dinner date 😗 All the dinner party details were immaculate. You really did that thanggg! And the video was shot very well, love the new styles of shooting you dabble with, you’re always putting out new and improved content 👏

From planning to execution, you are all things strategic; thus, the “Party Strategist”❣️ I.can’t wait to see you pull off a period themed tea party; Victorian or British, doesn’t matter. You could even use show themes like Downtown Abbey or Bridgerton. And latter something more whimsical that you and Zaria can share with both of your friends, a “ Mad Hatter Tea Party”. I know you could handle the execution of one or all of them, you’ve got skills!!!!🤗🤩
