Robin,

Hi, I just love your newsletter, I’ve been a fan since I planned my first event in 2000. I’ve always had a theme to my exchanges, this year is Christmas Past and my decorations are based on Christmas trees. My invites were not as elaborate this year, I’ve usually hand make each invite, but my friends love my “rules”.

I just wanted to share that with the Christmas Tree theme, I’ve ordered live trees to use as my party favors, I’m going to decorate small glass votives as the “tree stand” and use them for place cards for each guest.

I usually have brunch, this year we changed the time to lunch. I serve a full menu and from appetizers to desserts – I’m expecting 17 guests this year. One day I’ll scan my scrapbook pages to send you, in the meantime I attached a copy of my invitation.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Rita
