This week I co-hosted a
Garden Party for our Relief Society. The day of the party the forecast said
100% chance of rain with scattered showers predicted all evening. We had planned to have the party in the breathtaking backyard of my dear friend Charyce. It rained and poured ALL day long. I held my breath, prayed and had faith that it would clear up. Everyone kept telling me we needed to change the location to the church. I held on. At 4:30, it was pouring rain. I moved the 5 long tables from the garage to the overhung porch and said a prayer. At 5:30 the rain had turned to a drizzle. At 5:45 I moved the tables to the soaking grass and set them up. The drizzle stopped. I layed out the table cloths, the clouds seemed a little less ominous. By 6:20, the sun was peaking through and as people started to arrive the weather was lovely. People kept saying, "you're sure taking a chance having it outside." It still looked like it might rain again, but we had faith.
The dinner was lovely, the games and prizes and spiritual lesson were wonderful. We had 45 women and the socializing was the best since
girls at a tea party can't help but have fun. I wore my blond hair extensions and
pearls. Kit wore this fabulous
hat and looked amazing as always.
Erin even came in a
boa. Charyce let us use her loads of
vintage tablecloths, pitchers and gorgeous china. It was a night to remember. AND... it didn't rain a single drop. Thank you Heavenly Father. It was nothing less than a miracle.
I love these ladies!

Those ladies look so excited they started menopause early.
The decorations look expensive and not too untacky unless your not trying to be unpretenious.
You are so talented!! Looks like a fabulous party.
Good job you stubborn one! Heavenly Father had to help you out on that one since soo many people were coming! That's awesome and looked like fun.
Looks awesome. Our ward did a "tea party with Emma" Enrichment a few years ago and people still talk about it. Fun to see so many familiar faces.
