Theme: Exploding Artichoke Party

Location: Foosball Palace, San Francisco

Year: 1997

Art: Mary Grace McGhee

Invite backstory:

This is another masterpiece from Mary Grace - an artichoke exploding into all the glories of the party - the artichokes, the croquet, the BBQ, the childcare, the zone friendly food and . . . I’m not exactly sure what I’m seeing with that other image.

Another masterstroke - she worked the font around the outside of the explosion in the shape of an artichoke.

Party Highlights

We played croquet on the front lawn of the South Beach Marina Apartments, which is on the Embarcadero across from Pier 38 (3 miles south of Pier 39 and yes, we saw a lot of lost people). It was a gorgeous day for some treacherous croquet. Fun times had by all!

There was a funny FAQ on the invite (see below) and I upleveled my map and included 5 ways to get to the party on public transportation, including by Ferry and Cable Car!
