FRIENDS Christmas Party by Kenslie McGuire

This year is the 25th anniversary of F•R•I•E•N•D•S so we decided that the proper way to kick off the Christmas Season was to throw a F•R•I•E•N•D•S themed Christmas party! We had coffee and muffins just like Central Perk as well has Pheobe’s Grandmother’s cookie recipe (Nestle Tollhouse.) All the guests dressed as their favorite friends scene or in a classic 90’s outfit just as the cast would have worn on screen. I put up photos of the gang around the house to make it feel like Monica’s apartment, and of course had the yellow frame around the peephole on the door. Thanks to Campesino Rum for sponsoring our Irish coffee drink. To see the highlights click here!

1970's Christmas Party by Kenslie McGuire

Throwing parties is undoubtedly my favorite hobby, and in my opinion, no party is complete without a theme. This time, it was a 1970’s Christmas party. We sent out a moodboard to the guests on how to dress and then began decor research. We put tinsel on all of our plants, hung garland everywhere, and had old school candy scattered around the house. I must say that the red lightbulbs I bought were the cheapest accent with the biggest bang! Having the red light cast in the house truly set the mood and brought it all together. Check out the photos below to see our Christmas decor and how our guests dressed for a Very Beverly Christmas!
