So as some of you know, I was called to be the Young Women's Secretary and Personal Progress Advisor this past February and I have had so much fun with the other women in the presidency and the girls in our ward! They are just so much fun! So we wanted to do a fun activity that was also educational after a long summer of not having everyone in town and what other way to eat and mingle than to have a diner! We sent out formal invitations to each one of the young men and young women and enclosed RSVP cards that they had to send back so that we would know exactly how many kids to plan for. We even code named the event so that more kids would come and not be scared of the name 'Etiquette Dinner.' We are sneaky leaders after all:) After lots of planning and preparation the night went off without a hitch and better yet... the youth LOVED IT! We got (and continue to get, 2 weeks later) complements on the food, the games, just the whole thing! We were so happy that so many youth came and that they had fun and hopefully a little etiquette knowledge slipped in there too. So here are the pictures from the event!
Table #1- eating yummy biscotti and sherbet for desert:)

Table #2
Table #3 (have you noticed the boy-girl pattern yet?)
Rebecca and JR in the kitchen. They were the hands behind the scene that made sure we had enough silverware for desert and that my kitchen wasn't an overwhelming mess at the end of the night. Thank you!
We had Pictionary in one room after dinner where the youth had to draw the table manner/ rule and their team would have to guess what it was.
What 'code name' did you used for your etiquette dinner?
