My sister, Corinne, who is another Hostess with the Mostess, just threw her Jamaican party aforementioned. The party was a screaming success. It was not only a fabulous tribute to her son and his classmates for having executed a successful year in academics and graduating from their elementary school, but also a phenomenal party for both young and adults!
The huge success began with her innovative plane ticket invitations. She dressed herself in a flowing blue tye-dyed dress accented with a gardenia in her hair. As the guests arrived, she greeted each with exuberant salutations, "Welcome to Jamaica....how was your flight?"...
The area was set with canopies, many tables to sit at and enjoy Jamaican food and drink. Birds of paradise arrangements accented the buffet tables while the five piece steel drum band played sounds of Calypso, Bob Marley, and upbeat tunes. All guests danced, ate, and drank like little vacationing gluttons.
The dance floor was decorated with white lights wrapped around artificial palm trees, sand, and happy children dancing to the rhythms of the steel drums. Laughter was abound while each tried their new moves out often resorting to the old familiar safe back and forth swaying. Adults jumped into the mix smiling and dancing with their children celebrating a year of hard work, decent to exemplary grades, and closing the chapter of yet another year of innocence and awareness.
The food was phenomenal, with a vast variety for all taste buds to enjoy. Way to go to my sister, Corinne, her husband, Dan, and to my little nephew, Reid for hard work, the willingness and passion for sharing moments with each other and with friends! A forever memory was made through great effort, planning, and execution! Hurray!
