- I hosted my very first formal dinner party, and everything turned out so cute! The occasion was Galentine's / Valentine's and all my friends came dressed to impress to compliment the theme--red and pink Coquette. We had a pink cocktail bar and a champagne tower. Chef Gabrielle McBay showed up and showed out with a fantastic pink monochrome menu, and my friends loved creating their own custom lip glosses at the DIY lip bar I built.

This getting real real professional 😂😂😂 not the friends accepting their invitations 😂😂😂
Brilliant 😂
I loved that part 😍
Right 😂
like air this on television!!
I love how the lip gloss station became a bonding experience with everyone helping each other pipe their glosses into the container. Especially since the salad demo was a competition.
all about balance! lol
The yin and the yang like Rell said 😂❤
Very nice and beautiful
@@samanthafigueroa3576it was the “However,” for me 😂😂
@RavenElyseTV you can do an Easter themed picnic. Pastels, actually on blankets, baskets for every blanket filled with the plates & foods. Bean bags, pillows, lap trays🎉🎉
RAVEN!!! The segments with your friends!! I love this.
Ikr!!! Raven does it again! Freakn creative genius 😊
That was the best and most creative part right?!?!?
Obsessed with her more everyday
Raven all your hostings are so awesome and inspiring. Have you done a destination friends party? I would love to see y’all at a resort type destination. Smile you’re the greatest.
Y’all need to stop the capping! It’s cute in theory but they aren’t actors and it’s too faked. Cmon now you taking away what makes CZcams better than scripted tv.
The Welcome arch is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The young lady who gave the toast has so much personality.
These types of videos give me the 2000's mtv sweet 16 vibes. I enjoy how you show the behind the scenes and even the party and the outcome. The lipgloss diy got reaall fun lol
Raven you never disappoint - everything was magazine worthy!
It’s the friend actors & actresses for meeee!!! Love this friend!!!
Gurl, the time and energy that you put into this project is truly amazing. Your friends are blessed to have you for a girlfriend!! Love that for them!!❤❤❤
Exactly, I'm like we need her to have something like this for her subscriber's...I know lucky one's would be soooo happy & grateful!
I love this dinner party! Everything was so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Right off the bat I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! The beginning with your friends was soooo cute. It felt like TV show. so creative. Loved seeing their point of view.
Host your very first PICNIC!!! Springs coming weather should be beautiful soon. I think a PICNIC is definitely the move.
You remind me of myself but when I would do things like this my friends wouldn’t be so happy and said I’m always doing too much lol this year my goal is to bring this back in my life with new friends🥂
Keep inspiring🫶🏾🫶🏾
maybe jealous of you.
I'm this way also but my friends look for me to be extra…now! When I scaled it back they were like, “wait! Who's going to do it now??”😂 some people don't realize what they have until you pull back your energy. Or, you can just get a new group of friends - not to replace, but in addition to. People who are just more in alignment with things you like to do.
Hope you got yourself some new friends who AREN'T jealous of you because that screams jealousy. ❤
PARTY IDEA: Easter tea party with the big Easter hats (all guests have to wear one). You could have so much fun with this one. Kids could play the old fashioned games and eat sandwiches with the crusts cut off!
I hope she pins this. I can picture it. And it'll be so cute ‼️
Maybe even an Alice and Wonderland twist? 👀
Like a southern bell Easter tea party😮🤭 that would be fun
I’ve followed you Raven for so so many years, long before Ziya 💗and seeing your growth as a woman, a mother, a friend, a career woman, wow! So glad we get to come along on the journey! 🙏🏼 also it was cute and funny to see your risqué humor we don’t really ever get to see- just made me feel I’m also just one of the girlies having a dinner date 😗
All the dinner party details were immaculate. You really did that thanggg! And the video was shot very well, love the new styles of shooting you dabble with, you’re always putting out new and improved content 👏
Raven and Zoey are the perfect power couple 🎉❤
Zoey knows Raven and love how they compliment one another. Zoey understands the assignment.
MURDER MYSTERY PARTY!!! ITALIAN PASTA/PIZZA PARTY!!!
I loved everyone's salad speeches 😂💕💞 definitely my favorite part because everyone was laughing at the dramatics girls being girls lol🤣
Naaaa this editing (the txt msgs) is too cuteeeeeee!! And the heart details in the intro 🥰🥰
Y'all robbed Rell with his Ying and yang lol

This video was so worth watching through the end. I felt like I was watching a full TV special. Honestly, I know it wasn't about home design but I thought it felt similar to architectural digest.
