We did it!

We threw ourselves a fabulous engagement party! Everything turned out amazingly well – the food was delicious, the apartment looked great, all our friends showed up, everyone had enough space to hang out, and I think we all had a great time (I know I did!).

I’ll be posting all the recipes from the night shortly (by overwhelming request, actually – totally the sign of a good spread!).

In the meantime, you can take a look at our pictures from the big night.

Just for fun, you can also take a look at this Flickr set of an amazing kids birthday party by Andrea of Hula Seventy – which was totally the inspiration for this party (adults should get to have that much fun too!). I, of course, added a lot of my own interpretation, and made things a little more grown-up (singapore slings and Tsingtao beer for example), but we wouldn’t have had impetus to go all out – like we did – without her inspiration.

Thanks to everyone who came – and to everyone who couldn’t, but wished us well anyways, too!
