Sorry to be MIA these past few days- this week has been kinda nuts!
Tonight I’m throwing a real, grown-up dinner party. Natty Light and cool ranch Doritos not allowed.
I’ve been waiting years for this. Such a dork.
1. Four layer French vanilla tiramisu cake with mascarpone filling and coffee buttercream.
2. Slicing cantaloupe for melon and prosciutto!
3. My grocery lists. I got a serious thrill out of writing them.
4. It’s not a party without grapes and brie.
5. More importantly, it’s not a party without beer.
Fill in the blank: it’s not a party without _______!
a really good playlist!
your cake looks fabulous!
Haha I’m with you! I can’t wait to graduate and throw real people parties! That cake and everything else look/sound fabulous and I’m sure they will taste even better!
I say it’s not a party without…fancy sparkling water?
Earth Wind & Fire!!!!
Best Party Music ever. I was born in the wrong decade..clearly!
.. Good friends and good food!
Its not a party without a good bottle of wine! I am not the biggest fan of beer, but a good bottle of wine or sparkling wine…something sweet…I am sold!
I’m not a wine girl, but I love the sparkling stuff!
the fancy spirits and a good party playlist!
congrats on your big girl dinner party!
it’s not a party without _______! <— some unexpected chaos
I’m anticipating some of that tonight for sure
It’s not a party without appetizers. I love them!
I also love throwing dinner parties — so fun!
So jealous! I am itching to throw a real dinner party post-college. It seems like a semi-expensive endeavor though! Everything looks great; can’t wait to see what you make!
And, It’s not a party without… great guests!
It’s not cheap, I’m realizing. I think it’s worth it though- as long as everyone has a good time!
So fun!! And that cake sounds to DIE!!! Recipe?!
Fun snacks and good beer! I’m 23 but I’ve been waiting for the day when I’m old enough to throw parties like this too…So you’re not alone
Is that a case of flying dog beer? I love flying dog brewery (I’m a fan of the raging bitch haha)! Looks like it will be a great party! I hope you have a great time!
Raging Bitch is my dad’s all-time favorite beer. He buys it by the case! Their Tire Bite is great, too.
Ooh how fun! I can’t wait to throw a dinner party some day. I agree that brie is a must have!
Also when it comes to me and my friends, it’s not a party without “Hot Blooded” by Foreigner on our playlist haha!
It’s not a party without some ridiculously decadent dessert-especially if it’s at my apartment!! That cake looks absolutely fabulous!!
Wow looks like you’re spending a pretty penny on this party — I’m the same way. I go all out for parties! Just want everyone to have a great time. Yummy I spy Dogfish head in the fridge, my fave
It’s not a party without……… 80′s and 90′s music 
I love hooking up my iPhone or laptop to my TV so that music plays on surround sound about the apartment. Or put on Spotify or Grooveshark so your party guests can pick songs too 
m & m’s and great playlists!
love the party list!!! have fun
great conversation! Have a blast.
Throwing parties is so fun! I hope yours is great!!
a pickle and olive tray! haha, my roomate and i used to joke around that any ‘classy’ party had a pickle and olive tray and so ours would too. so random, but we both make sure we always have one at any party now.
Wow, fabulous! Can’t wait to hear how it went.
For me, it’s not a party without Chex Mix…it’s the only time I eat it, but it’s SO GOOD.
It’s not a party without good food, friends and drinks! Hope you had fun
I love throwing adult dinner parties! Everything looks wonderful, especially that cake!
