Chelli and I spent hours poring over the many options we could go with as Amma had a serious sweet tooth and we went with a little bit of everything. It's a serious business gathering all of Amma's favorite treats.
We finalized the slide show, signed off on the caterer menus for tomorrow, okayed the centerpieces from the florist, and found the perfect photos for the seven small tables. Mom would love this party. The person who made tiny cakes for tomorrow started crying when she delivered them this evening because she said she was looking forward to making mom's 80th birthday cake and instead she was "baking for this."
Pic: This looks like an ad for globalization what with the homemade treats up front and everything from Coca Cola to CheezIts and fusion snacks at the tail end of the table.

What an impressive table! Your mom was a snacker extraordinaire.
I love this ritual/tradition. It really speaks to the personality of the person being honoured in a different way, and it invites guests to share in a fun aspect of their character.
A very thoughtful spread
Lots of delicious things there!
I love the care you put into this planning, Maya. She would love it.
I still have a folder on my desktop of photos for my dad's slideshow. For some reason I called it Final Gary Pics, which, I mean, yes but also ugh.
