New York Party
Still catching up on my blogging! We threw a surprise party for my Father-in-Law’s 65th birthday at the first of the July. He was born in Brooklyn, so my sister-in-law Elise came up with the idea to give him a New York party. It was a lot of fun. We served grilled New York Steak, Appletini’s (virgin of course, dang it!) and New York Cheesecake, along with salads in italian punch bowls and baked potatoes.
Each table was name after one of the 5 burroughs of New York, we had The best of Frank Sinatra playing the whole time and famous New York landmarks were posted throughout the party. We also copied pictures of Dave and wrapped them around chocolate bars as favors and posted the rest of the pictures throughout the yard. Each of his kids gave a really beautiful toast and my mother-in-law wrote the sweetest poem. It was a really fun party!
