Invite me to your party because you want to enjoy yourself at your party. Invite me to feel confident that the big moments will be captured, and the details, smaller in stature but not in importance, will be covered as well.
I’m looking forward to my invite.
I love a party, a celebration, a completion, a commemoration. I enjoy hearing the loving words from friends and family in speeches that make me laugh out loud, or risk smearing my mascara with tears. Invite me to your party. I am taken by the incredible outfits, the artistic catering, creative decoration and inspired venues. Show me your first look, your first dance, the first time you’ve ever eaten cake.
Invite me to your party, because I love the way you choose to celebrate. I love the big dances and speeches and dresses just as much as what lies in between: the candid moments and intimate interactions. I like when a child grabs her sibling’s hand to pull them aggressively to the bounce house, and seeing a gentle touch from mom as her son tears up during his speech about her, and, oh, the way a man looks at his wife like it’s the first time he’s ever seen her, even after looking at her for 50 years. Invite me to your party, because I’ll see you and your guests, and the way that they see you. And when that big, unexpected gesture is made, I’ll be there.
