I found my second favorite dream job.

Next to an interior decorator, I think a party planner might be my next favorite thing.  Not to be confused with a meeting planner for big conferences like some of my friends do (I don't have the stomach for all that stress!).  But instead, smaller, one time events where people have oodles of money and you can focus on friends, food and ambiance...a few of my favorite things...

Plus, unlike decorating a room in your house, you can go overboard with different decor themes which otherwise you'd tire from.

All parties in the images above planned by Toast, Santa Barbara.  More on their website.
