Hyaline

We've talked birthday parties, but if you were going to throw a party and invite S12:

What kind of shindig would you throw?

Theme?  No theme?

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?

What's your signature drink?

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert?

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?

redneckmomma25

What kind of shindig would you throw? Back yard bbq.  Four wheelers, bon fire. 

Theme?  No theme? No theme

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony? You show up to my house nude and you will be wearing wool camo....

What's your signature drink? Jack and coke.  At our wedding we had a Tennessee peach which is JD, Peach schnapps, oj and cranberry juice.  So good.  

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert? I have no signatures except for always having good food

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most? Anyone who has an inner redneck hiding or outward redneck.

I'm so not a party planner and I'm an even worse party hostess. I wouldn't be a very fun party and the food probably wouldn't be very good...unless I got catering.

I'll plan your menu

OMG I love this gtky. I absolutely LOVE throwing parties.

--------

What kind of shindig would you throw? Not sure. It would develop/emerge as I planned. It would be indoors though. A. I hate the outside. B. no weather concerns

Theme?  No theme? Absolutely a theme. You can't NOT have a theme, lol. Even the color of plates, for example, needs a theme.

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony? I was actually thinking I'd invite s12, including s12babies, meaning no dress code. If it was JUST the parents, I'd do black tie.

What's your signature drink? Well, I don't drink alcohol, so something bubbly and fruity.

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert? Not sure. Probably something catered to the kids, like pigs in a blanket (crescent roll hotdogs)

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most? No idea. Hopefully everyone, since it would be catered to the parents AND kids.

What kind of shindig would you throw? A big outdoor thing.

Theme?  No theme?  No theme.  

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?  Casual attire.

What's your signature drink?  Brandy old fashioned.  I do live in Wisconsin. ;-)

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert? Sticking with the Wisconsin theme we'd have all kinds of delicious things...brats, cheese curds, cherry pies, Rumchata, etc.  All Wisconsin things!

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?

I assume everyone would have fun! :-)

Mmmmmm. Cheese curd.  Can cheese curd be shipped?  I need some.

::sits on bench with @mrskipper ::

I hate party planning and don't do well at parties. I did once drink an entire bottle of champagne and a few shots of tequila and then attacked a dude because he kept shining a flashlight in my eyes.

I will just comes to y'alls parties and get stupid drunk.

danabsd

I'd invite everyone to a nurse in.  And post all the pictures. 

danabsd

What kind of shindig would you throw? Indoor/outdoor Big Fat Greek Taverna Night.

Theme?  No theme? Greek. Duh. Lot's of blue and white.  Obnoxiously Greek decorations.  We go all out for parties 'round these parts.  And I love themes. 

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?  Beach casual, nothing black tie but nicer than jeans.

What's your signature drink?  Full bar.  Lot's 'o wine.  Big barrels of it.  And Ouzo if anyone actually wants to drink that.

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert?  Lamb on a spit.

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?  @Banich4eva already promised to get drunk.  And nude.  Wait, whaattt?

BBQ!

Theme?  No theme?

I would throw a Fourth of July party!

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?

Your most patriotic get up, and stuff you can go boating in.

What's your signature drink?

Beer and sangria

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert?

Smoked brisket, mac n cheese, potato salad, fruit salad, veggie platter, corned bread, baked beans, three bean salad, deviled eggs, for dessert home made ice cream whoopie pies. Poke cake with a whipped cream top covered in fruit arranged like the flag,

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?

I think me, bunking and red neck would probably have the best time. Also anyone who likes boating/tubing/jet skiing/hanging out on the water.

hmp1

What kind of shindig would you throw? A good ol' Nashville Hoedown with live local music

Theme?  No theme? See above

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony? Casual cutesy

What's your signature drink? I think we would go a bit off the theme by having Woodford Reserve shots (a KY whiskey, gasp). Other good ole southern drinks like Mint Juleps, Lemonade, and Sweet Tea.

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert? Sticking with the Southern style: pan fried chicken and fried catfish, fried green tomatoes, okra, greens, cornbread. Peach cobbler for dessert.

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most? I think Redneck would have fun in TN and she could be my co-host and help me cook (well do the cooking) and decorate.

redneckmomma25

@hmp1 TN is one of the only states I would leave NY for. I love it

Hyaline

@hmp Woodford Reserve is my fav!  Have you been to the distillery?  It's adorable.  They have a distillery cat.

Hyaline

What kind of shindig would you throw?  I'd host a Snobby Cocktail Party, tongue-in-cheek snobby.

Theme?  No theme?  No real "themey theme" but a 1950s cocktail culture vibe.  Fancypants dresses, jazz standards.  Mad Men lite.  Without the creepy chauvinism.

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony? Cocktail dresses.  I want to see the S12 ladies snazz it up.

What's your signature drink? I make a fab champagne cocktail.  And I'd have to go off book and have all my favorite Sauvignon Blancs and Malbecs for the wine folks (I know we, um, have a few).

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert? Baked brie.  And lots of cheeses.  

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?  I think the winos would have a grand time.

This post is such a tease.  I want to go to ALL of these parties.

tinyhumantoe

RSVP me for all of these parties. The fancy and the bonfires- love them all!

tinyhumantoe

Ok.... I started to plan my party. I'll just say it's in a cabin in Nashville and there's a lot of hanging out, beer pong, and laughing for a casual ladies night.

Or if it's in my town, it's a ton of appetizers and cocktails at home, dressed cute in jeans and feeling fabulous, have fun mingling and getting liquored up on a variety of martinis, with a finale if heading to the historic downtown bars for complete debauchery.

I'm dozing off for a 930 bedtime haha.... I'll dream about @hmp1's fried green tomatoes. YUM!!

What kind of shindig would you throw?  Sleep over.  Lots of drinks.  Lots of games.  

Theme?  I'd try and find the most unmatched decorations and make a big huge giant baby shower.  Every tacky 20 year old decoration I could find.

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?  Jammies.  Bonus points for foo ties jammies.

What's your signature drink?  A keg.  That counts right?

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert?  I'd have my favorite bakery bring fresh baked donuts for the morning.  I'd hire my step daughter to bring Taco Bell at 2 am.  

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?  @willy_gert because she would just totally live it up.  @marisakathleen would be wild.  I just know it.

I've been to Woodford Reserve!  And oddly enough, I was thinking about it in the shower this morning.

I think I would throw a party where it was inside and outside and all kinds of awesome!

Theme?  No theme?

The theme would be S12 of course!  

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?

Nudy at night.... I kid, I kid.  Just comfortable and what makes you feel pretty.

What's your signature drink?

I would do the whole jello shot thing, all kinds of them, because that is what makes me think of friends and fun.  Also a shit ton of Cupcake Moscato wine.

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert?

I would probably make everything, but I get the most compliments on my cakes.  So I would make a lot of them.

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?

I think I would have fun with everyone.  If I have to name names specifically, I would honestly really like to meet @nita2603 @loislayn23 and @tinyhumantoe .  Hell who am I kidding, I would love to meet all of you!

come on out to the farm and party we've got acres upon acres and plenty of stuff to burn!

We've talked birthday parties, but if you were going to throw a party and invite S12:

What kind of shindig would you throw?

I'd probably do a backyard bonfire/clambake (it is New England, after all). We have a sweet space for backyard parties - we do a big bonfire out back and grill food on the deck. Tiki torches abound. Plus there's plenty of spaces for tents and pop-ups, so you can drink to your heart's content and pass out under the stars. Like camping with the benefit of indoor plumbing.

Theme?  No theme?

I think clambake is enough of a theme. And booze. That's a theme, right?

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?

That's just crazy talk.

What's your signature drink?

I make a kick ass sangria in the summer, and a homemade Vermontucky Lemonade (fresh squeezed lemonade, maple syrup and bourbon). Plus we usually have a couple small kegs of craft beer. There's never a shortage of booze...

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert?

My go to for parties is cream cheese-hot sauce-tequila dip with sweet potato chips. Everything else I leave up to the hubby to grill so I can relax and entertain. Oooh...and I do a fab big batch Israeli cous cous side dish.

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?

redneckmomma25 and @bunkinmama would appreciate our country setting and laid back atmosphere. I think @BPer, @MommaP12, and THT could get down with our free-flowing sangria and ladies only 80s rap hour dance break in the kitchen. It's a staple at the eshee shindigs.

I must try this. Would it be tacky to bring 2u2 to the liquor store?

My local wine store knows James by name and asks about him if we don't bring him. I say, not tacky.

melody921

What kind of shindig would you throw? Party on the beach

Theme? No theme? Island theme with steel drum band

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony? Casual -- bare feet, sundress sort of clothing

What's your signature drink? pina colada

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert? jerk chicken and shrimp, lots of fancy salads -- veggies, pasta, etc, fresh fruit, ice cream bar with all the toppings

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most? Whoever likes to talk, drink and dance

Oh man, my party would probably suck, haha. Obviously I'd just do a typical New Zealand BBQ for everyone. Then make everyone drink disgusting beer that all the bogans around here love in front of a bonfire. Dress code would be singlets, stubbies and jandals. New Zealand farm chic. Signature drink would be my favourite, whiskey sours. Totally doesn't fit the theme, but oh well. If we are going with my hideously tacky Kiwiana theme it'd be Tui (cheap beer that tastes like piss strained through a sock). Or I could be nice and supply all the amazing craft beers that New Zealand has to offer. Signature dish, I don't think I actually have one. I would make an amazing pavlova with fresh fruit and cream, so good.

Am I the only one that has no idea what to wear to @MelsaX 's party? Yes please on the whiskey sours.  
Ooooh one of my favorite desserts was my grandma's pavlova.  Do you eat lamingtons in NZ? That's my all-time favorite forever dessert in the entire universe.  And I will book a flight for a NZ get-together this afternoon if you make those!

MommaP12

I'm late to the party - pun intended.  Darn work!

@eshee you had me at 80s rap party.  I am dangerous with a microphone.

What kind of shindig would you throw?  an 80s or 90s theme!

Theme?  No theme?  Oh.  See above.

Dress Code?  Theme Costumes?  Black tie?  Nudist colony?   You best break out your cavaricci's, shirts with the glitter stuff spun it/puffy paint, french roll your pants.  Oh Snap.

What's your signature drink?  Hmmm, something with rum.

Your signature appetizer/party food/dessert?   Oh man, so many to list.  a million desserts - pretzel raspberry dish, cupcakes, pretzels with hershey kisses and m&ms on them, Heath cheesecake.  Food wise, pizza and other easy food.

We're all on your guest list, but who do you think would have the most fun/be the most fun/enjoy your party the most?   Hmmm.  Tinyhumantoe, Eshee, Eastie, Melody, Toni, Cheenomae, MomtobeNJ....Errrrrbuddy really!

LOL!  Jolly Zimas is what we aspired to drink when I was younger.  It's what my friend's "Cool" Aunt and Uncle drank.  Still have yet to have one, but this made me laugh!
