62 Thoughts That Run Through Your Head When Your Friends Ask You To Day Party

by Gigi Engle

Sunday and day partying are practically synonymous. They go together like apples and peanut butter. Cocktails and the weekend.

It just works.

Sunday day parties have an entirely different vibe than your standard office happy hours or Summer Friday fun. It's the last day of our blessed weekend! Our final hurrah to make the fun come ALIVE.

We day party on Sundays because we need to let off steam and DANCE before a long workweek. It may be the END of the weekend, but that doesn't mean it has to be mild.

It's up to us to keep the Sunday Funday intact so we don't lose sight of the things that really matter in life. Just think of the old saying, “No one remembers the nights you stayed in and got enough sleep.”

I'd like to add an amendment to this universal truth: You'll never remember the Sundays that weren't Fundays.

Here are 62 thoughts that run through your head when your friends ask you to day party.
