Cocktail Party...Mormon style!

You have all seen the fancy parties attended by the Hollywood elite. You know the ones covering the pages of every magazine in the checkout line. Well a thought occurred to us a while back. We can party like Rock Stars too. So we did!

We threw a Moctail Party with all the fixin's! There was a full array of drinks to please all tastes. Martinis, Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Daiquiris, Shots, Champagne, Beer, and Jello Shots. Don't go getting all alarmed on me. EVERYTHING was VIRGIN!!! There was not a drop of anything that would make you the least bit tipsy!

We told our guests this was a "Black Tie Affair" in hopes that everyone would come all gussied up! Most people took advantage of this chance to pull out their best duds. Getting all dressed up every now and then is a great feeling.

Christmas music filled the air, Christmas lights set the atmosphere and lots of laughing could be heard all night! The pool table was a hit and it seemed fitting that billiards would be played at such a party.

People ate finger foods and chatted the night away! We did white elephant gifts and I walked away with a really old can of escargot! It is nasty, but something that will be fun to give away at the next party!

All in all it was a success! Everyone had a blast and took lots of pictures! It is not everyday you can see your friends walking around holding a martini glass or beer bottle. And acting as though it is the most normal thing in the world! Then have those same friends sit next to you in church 2 days later. It was something that needed to be documented! We are looking forward to doing it all over again!





Alicia came to check out the party!
Notice she is holding 3 drinks!
She is also 7 months pregnant!
Good thing those are virgin drinks!





You know it is a good party when there is a big
mess to clean up!












White Elephant gift exchange. Some people took
the "Black Tie Affair" Tuxes and everything!














Buying all the "booze" at Walmart. I am sure people thought our next stop was the liquor store. Little did they know that Mt. Dew was as hard as we got!





The Pina Colada was the favorite drink of the night!













Just a friendly game of pool. Beverages and Billiards makes for a great evening!
See what I mean about people walking around holding the drinks like it is totally natural! Katie is a Lush!
This is serious business! Holding a flute of bubbly, in a Tux with a duct tape bow tie! Yet he is all alone! How did this happen?
The Champagne, Beer and Shots table!


The Bar... Margaritas, Pina Colada, Daiquiris,
and Jello shots. All made to order by some of the finest bartenders in the valley!


This party was SO much fun! I love to plan parties so much maybe even more than attending!But this party is for sure near the top of my list!

  2. It was an awesome party! Thanks for letting me drop in. It just goes to show that alcohol is not necessary to have a great time. Like that dumb puppet song we used to perform for Aunt Terry's drug presentations "Go for a natural high!" This party showed that a natural high is achievable and sooo much fun! Great Job, Aub!
