Engagement Party!

ladies and gentlemen, i give you - the engagement party appetizers!! I was so pleased with how everything turned out! I was really surprised by how much time it took to get everything ready - thank goodness I decided to spend the majority of Friday getting everything squared away.

Perhaps the biggest compliment i received was from my Dad, who said his favorite of all of them was the crostini - particularly because it was my one truly self-created original dish!

It was such a fantastic and special night and I think we are all super excited for the wedding - which will take place a month from today!!
