What to expect

Join us for a day filled with joy, laughter, and a touch of Korean tradition. Here's what you can look forward to:

🕰️ Times are loose

The party will generally be 3 – 5pm, but don't feel obligated to stick around till the end or to show up exactly on time. We're just excited to see you!

🥢 Korean-American Cuisine

We'll have light (egg-and-peanut-free) snacks from both sides of the world: charcuterie boards and Korean staples like japchae and kimbap!

There will be waters and sodas, and we'll even have a fun soju cocktail 🍹

🎂 Singing & Cake

Around 4, we'll gather to sing "Happy Birthday" and watch Olivia smash her cake!
