I brought back the dessert charcuterie letters from last year’s tournament party and put this year’s theme spin on it.

Classic ’50s Diner: Think of setting up your party space to mimic a 1950s diner, complete with jukebox tunes, checkered tablecloths, and neon signs.

Photo Booth: A ’50s-themed photo booth with props such as vintage sunglasses, pearl necklaces, and faux leather jackets allows guests to capture memories of the night in style.

Thank You Speech: Take a moment to address your guests and express your heartfelt thanks for their presence at your party. Share some highlights from the evening and acknowledge any individuals who helped make the event a success.
