Last night we celebrated the Chinese New Year with my parents Patty and Rob. This year is the Year of the Pig. The party was a wine tasting and pork roast event and was well attended. Rob sent me some stats on the party.
"We sent out approximately 48 invitations for this party, according to my after party analysis we had 23 of those invitations were sent to people who for whatever reason could not attend. 25 invitations resulted in the 50 individuals that did attend. That is playing the margins pretty closely to 50% return on the invitations. Just imagine if all individuals would have been able to attend. The tally could have been more like 85 or so at the party. That may have been a challenge, given the silverware, and other limitations. But at the same time that is the importance of people actually responding to an RSVP."
All in all, it was a lot of fun and a good time mingling with a pretty diverse crowd of folks. Lots of fun with family and friends! Lucia took a bunch of pictures so when we get those I'll throw some up.

Thanks for posting information pertaining to the 2007 Year of the Pig party that we hosted. This was meant to be an important event to encourage the transition into springtime. My guess is is will do the trick. I am already anticipating mowing the lawn and chasing a golf ball.
Cheers.
