Diary of a First Time Hostess - Sandy

I was so excited and nervous about hosting my first Eight at Eight Dinner Party! I arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes early and parked myself at the bar while waiting for the first group of Eight at Eighters to arrive. The group of eight arrived around the same time and the drink orders flooded in! They were such a blast - everybody was just so excited to be there and to meet each other. The bartender did a wonderful job with everyone's drink and is in the photo attached. After 15 minutes of drinks, I escorted the group to their table to enjoy dinner together.

Everyone was enthusiastic and genuinely happy to be meeting each other. I think I had just as much fun as they did! I heard that the table even went back down to the bar after dinner to enjoy more cocktails together.

When everything was said and done, it was an all around fabulous evening. Second dates have already been set up and we have received wonderful feedback. I can't wait to hostess the next event! See you there!
