Dinner Club MD gets SPOOKIFIED

We were so excited to all get together for dinner over Halloween weekend. For this Dinner Club gathering we invited the husbands, fiances and boyfriends to join in on the fun (lucky guys...huh?!?)

Halloween is such a fun theme so my mom and I decided we wanted to incorporate the theme throughout the night in a few
ways:

Greeted the guests with a chalkboard sign
Dressed the part - "spooky hats"
Table center pieces - Gourds and Pumpkins
Coasters (also worked as great seat place cards!)

But the truth is, theme or not, the night was all about the great food, fabulous company and lots of laughs! (the dinner menu is coming soon). We all sat in the same room (so cozy!) - "mom table" and "daughter table" and we ended the night entertaining ourselves while playing Table Topics.

And of course, Gussy didn't miss out on the fun - (check out his cute Halloween bandanna)

We can't wait until the next time!

Enjoy the Weekend... this beautiful bouquet & some vino!

During this past week, I needed a positive thought to help me get through it... I find it most helpful and very true.
