Hmmmm, makes me want to crash your party..........

shoot HG, would rather have you any day and time than my in laws. it would actually be fun and pleasant then.

my MIL is actually okay once she drinks...and I got lots of her fav. :)

That's so nice. Have fun at dinner tomorrow with your beautiful Hermes China. I'm sending flowers for you.

What a wonderful menu!
I bet they love having you as a DIL.
I bet is was so luxurious having wonderful china with amazing food.
I like your centerpiece as well!

It doesn't matter what you serve... the china will steal the show anyway... Love everything. Have fun with your in-laws...

Lovely GG! I remember my first dinner party. Was sooo nervous as the other couple were major foodies. I always laugh about my little mistake with the dessert. I made choc mousse and the recipe called for "strong coffee" and is thought it meant coffee grounds when it really meant brewed strong coffee. Ha Ha ! It was a crunchy mousse and actually tasted pretty good. LOL!

With your new baby in your lap, I don't think you will be sitting in the corner for very long

WOW!!!! I love dinner parties when the good china comes out to play! Enjoy your evening!!!! That menu is making me hungry just reading it!!!!

Very pretty, GG...my mouth is watering now from your menu!
