Good Morning Darlings!
Now that I have dished almost all the behind-the-scenes gossip about our holiday party, I am ready to dish a bit more.
Some tidbits inside…and then party pictures!
Oh Hooray! Some Swell Party Photos!

These ramblings about the other side of the party are about as candid as you will ever see me get here. I am laying it all out for you. And sometimes, it ain’t pretty.
What else could possibly happen?
Post Party Musings, Part I

Saturday night was our annual Black Tie Soiree and we are still recuperating.
Eric and I took special pains to ensure that everything was in working order, but you can’t help when things sometimes go awry.

Catching Some ZZZZZ

This weekend was a whirlwind. Our party exceeded more than 200 guests in our house and I am tired.
Meet me back here tomorrow for more scoop. Lots of photos and we will be talking gifts this week.

Party Eve
Written by Patti on December 9th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
Eric and I are one day from our big Black Tie Christmas Party tomorrow night.
We’ve chosen a very special theme for the party that I will reveal to you next week. Our guests are sure to be surprised and delighted. The details have been a hoot to put together and we are so tickled that we get to have our very own prom every year, even though Eric and I didn’t meet in high school.
This is better than the high school prom.
Our prom is better.
See you next week!
xoxo, Patti

A Thing I Need
Written by Patti on December 8th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
Yesterday we discussed things you shouldn’t be without.
Today, one thing I have to have.
Call it “One of Patti’s Favorite Things”
This.
I need this. Swoozie's are you listening?
I just think this is the greatest thing ever. No drippy ice buckets, just tidy Chardonnay bottles lining the table, all corked with assorted Corkcicles.
Friends and loved ones, are you reading?
xoxo, Patti

Lots of websites tell you what to eat, what to cook and what to drink during the season of the party.
But what about the rest?

There are so many things to do in our fair city. Especially during the holidays. You might take in the decorated windows at 200 Peachtree or stop in at The Ritz-Carlton’s lobby bar, Lumen for a swanky cocktail.
I’ll let you in on a fab new spot downtown…
Make Your Christmas Eclectic with Eclectia

Only a few more days before our big party here. We are scrambling to get everything done so all we have to do on Saturday night is open the door and welcome our friends.
The house is just about decorated and ready to go. Just a few finishing touches.
How about you? Are you ready? Is the house decorated or do you need help?
NYE at The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead
Written by Patti on December 4th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
My dear friends at The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead have planned a very exclusive New Year’s Eve for just 20 lucky couples. Why travel when you can enjoy a glorious evening filled with the finest wine, food and accommodations in town? If, by some chance, you are popping the question this December 31st, this will be the place to do it. It will be an unforgettable evening.
