As some of you know it was recently our (Annie and my) 7th wedding anniversary…August 1st to be exact. It fell on a Saturday and typically we plan a night away. This night away has often been at the SeaVenture Resort in Pismo Beach where we first met face to face, where we got engaged, and where we got married.
This year, however, we somehow did not plan a mini getaway. Instead we decided to throw a little party (not an anniversary party) at our house with friends and the theme was…wait for it…bring a Rosé. All I really know is that the next morning there were 13 empty wine bottles and I couldn’t count how many empty beer bottles because they were in a few different trash cans.
It’s not a good party unless you can take AT LEAST one case box of empties to the recycling container. Oh to hear the glass against glass when the trash truck picks up our recycling can on Thursday afternoon. It’s kind of loud but it’s music to the wine industry’s ears.
The party was great. We tried to keep it relatively small due to Sammy and not wanting to overwhelm him. Or maybe it’s that I don’t want to overwhelm myself but I blame him. Who knows? There were some great wines as you will see in the slideshow below. I can’t really say I had a favorite. I wasn’t in that kind of mood. It was more a “tasting” kind of day which turned into a “drinking” kind of day.
Annie and I have always enjoyed doing themed parties. We’ve done a reggae party (in honor of our friends Jeanette and Tracy), the Halloween wig party (several years of this, no costumes just wigs), wine themed parties, Sammy’s birthday party theme was Fedoras, and some others. Our attitude is, if you’re going to have a party you might as well give it a badass theme.
Thanks to those that attended, it was great seeing each of you. And if all goes well we will see you again because this party reinvigorated our interest in doing these casual, fun, little get-togethers.
So tell me…what are some of your favorite party themes?
