@crumbsofnyc Music could not be more instrumental to the entire process of hosting a community dinner party, but for some reason it’s not talked about enough! @bose allowed me to curate vibes through my favorite tracks in my getting ready routine, my entire set up routine, the ACTUAL dinner party moment, and welll….the hours of clean up (made so much less painful!). Their new Rosewood Mauve collection mauve rosewood color palette also let me tap into my colorful side as the speaker matched the funky decor perfectly ✨ #bosepartner

Transcript

Actually don't talk about this much, but for me, music is one of the most important parts of a dinner party. And my last dinner party was a groovy seventies tier, and we know music was so important in that era. The info for this one actually started when Beau showed up at my door with the most beautiful package I've ever seen. It was literally filled to the brim with flowers and tier gorgeous new mauve collection. My getting ready time pre dinner party is so sacred. I always listen to hype up tracks and I yes my new quiet comfort earbuds which were so helpful because I could tune everything out. And then comes the actual better a few hours before the dinner party which is always chaos. If I am not lighting candles, getting all my florals ready to no, and putting every last detail in place to my better playlist, I am probably going a little bit crazy. And my friends who help me set up also know too that this is the time just to kind of let me be in my element and jammy. But my favorite part of the night is when it's showtime and the speaker takes over and the dinner party playlist really has its moment. I always try to curate tracks that feel very on the Maybe some that feel a little bit calmer during the actual dinner portion no everyone can really dive into their conversations. So thank you both for bringing your groovy new purple hues and, of course, amazing jams to my dinner table.
