My sister Leslie knows how to throw a party, and Molly Kate's recent 3 year soiree was no exception. The guest list was small (only family and a few friends), but the theme was fierce - or perhaps I should say - the theme was country and Y'ALL...it was fun!
I don't know the full background story or just how many hours it took for this party to become the adorableness it was, but here are a few tips I did pick up just from watching my sister & of course...the center of attention - Miss Molly Kate.
1. The Guest of Honor should be decked out in full party attire

2. Party fare is more fun to eat when it makes you feel like a country girl

I'm sure there are more tips to make a party memorable, but these are the 5 I discovered this last week. Happy Birthday, Miss Molly Kate and good job on the party, Les! I'm glad I still have 3 months to work on Selah's next party.
