It's go-time. Thursday and Friday feel like one continuous day of ALL THE THINGS. The lists are long -- no more practice. It's setup for the real thing. I'm back to a little panic and nervous. Of course. No one actually thought I could easy-breezy this, right?!?!
Still reminding myself to relax on Saturday. Give the welcome "speech," run the shower -- host with intention (thanks, Priya Parker).
Set up is ready for the parting favors. Adorable, if I do say so myself. Of course, I LOVE little jars and these are so nice. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but they have pretty shape with gold lids. They're Italian so even the words look elegant. I know, just little jars, but they make me happy. It's also a nod to baby food jars.
I tried to make it special. Custom M&Ms with jungle babies (theme). My aunt did the tag art work of Poo Bear and I have a Winnie quote on the back. Tied in a nice gingham bow (thanks to an hour on YouTube). Charming.
I'm working on my decor today. The biggest is flowers from Trader Joe's. Fingers crossed for a good selection. I have a hair appointment first thing and then off to TJs. I hope I'm not so late to miss the good flowers. If event planners get ahead of me, the selection is picked through. Bad timing on the hair appointment, but it was necessary (complicated schedule).
Weather is a pisser on Friday -- heavy rains and storms all day. That'll jack everything -- cake pick up, quiche pickup, airport pickup. Traffic will be a mess. Nothing we can do about it though. Cold and sunny for the shower.
That's why I need to get a lot finished today. Friday will be a long and messy day with very little extra time. Making sauces, grilling steak, prepping cheese platters, making salad dressings. The more I get finished today (that can be done), the better.
Wish me luck -- I need it. Later gators.
