Henrietta,
Are you trying to throw a frat party? Is that what’s happening? And what kind of dips are we talking about here? Fancy dips? Canned dips? Crockpot dips? Dessert dips?
Usually when we throw a joint bachelor/bachelorette party, it’s at a restaurant where we have tables to mingle at, an open bar, and a buffet. Were you thinking more along the lines of that? (I hope so.)
And no, I have not heard from her yet, but Polly was telling me that she’s in the midst of moving so I’m sure she’s busy packing and unpacking. I’ll let you know when Syrup makes contact.

Professor Plum,
I’m getting the distinct feeling that you’re judging me and my idea. Would I be right with that assessment?
I will have you know that Ken and Polly might look like they’re fancy, and their families might have money, but when it comes to a party, their number one idea of having a good timeis a beer pong tournament and dips…and the sweet, melodic tones of Ed Sheeran. Just wait, I bet Syrup says the same thing.
Also, no offense, but your party sounds boring, like it’s for adults or something…

Henrietta,
Boring? You think my party would be boring? Ohhhh no. I throw one heck of a party. There’s no way it would be boring. Your guests would be talking about the signature drink for years to come. The food would be so good, they’d go back for thirds. And the conversation would be so enthralling that it would take multiple clinks of a glass to quiet everyone down.
The speeches would marvel even the dullest person.
And at the end of the night, when everyone was going home, they’d praise the good time they had celebrating with friends.
I’ve been to all the parties I’ve thrown, and as an attendee, I give them a resounding hip, hip hooray.

Professor,
You sure know how to paint a picture, but I guarantee Syrup will be in agreement. Your parties might have rave reviews, but you’ve never been to one of ours. It will blow your mind.
