The Menu
An evening of good food
No sit-down dinner — just really good food all night long. Please reply if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions.
Arriving at 6 PM
Artisan Charcuterie & Cheese Board
Prosciutto, aged cheddar, Manchego, Castelvetrano olives, honeycomb, truffle seed crisps, fresh figs, and all the beautiful things. Assembled by Emerson.
Right at 6 PM
Crudité & Dips
A stunning platter of crisp, seasonal raw vegetables — cucumber, radishes, carrots, celery, snap peas, and bell pepper — served with hummus, tzatziki, and a white bean dip. Hydrating, colorful, and the most beautiful thing on the table.
Arriving at 7 PM
A Michelin Bib Gourmand gem just blocks away in Santa Monica. Handmade pasta sourced from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market — bolognese, truffle agnolotti, squid ink bavette, and more. Pickup or delivery. Organic, farm-to-table, and absolutely worth it.
Alongside dinner
Fresh Salad — Made by the Host
A beautiful, hydrating salad to balance and brighten the table. Crisp, seasonal, and made with love. Because good digestion is part of a good evening.
Alongside dinner
Artisan Bread — Courtesy of Emerson
The perfect companion to fresh pasta and olive oil. Emerson's got it covered.
Dessert
Sweet Lady Jane Triple Berry Cake
The most iconic birthday cake in Los Angeles. Fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries between layers of lightly sweetened whipped cream. A Santa Monica legend.
All evening
Drinks
The Tatou — a house mocktail of cold-pressed juice, sparkling water, dried citrus, and a fresh herb sprig. Named for the legendary Beverly Hills nightclub where it all began. Crafted by your host, Lynn. Sparkling water with lemon and fresh fruit all evening too. Love wine or spirits? Please bring your own bottle — glasses and ice will be waiting for you.
Food allergies or dietary restrictions? Please reply to the invitation text so we can make sure there's something wonderful for you. No one goes hungry tonight.

The Memory Jar
Leave something for Lynn
A memory. A wish. Something you've always wanted to say but never found the right moment for. Something small. Something true. At the end of the night, we'll read them out loud together.
"I'm so grateful that each of you is taking time to come celebrate with me. We each have a special connection and it means more to me than you know, particularly at this stage of life where meaningful connections are everything. I love you and can't wait to share this fabulous day with you!"
