This event is designed to accommodate those with weekend jobs, young ones at home, and limited social stamina. Guests may drop in and out as their schedules and our bouncers allow.

Doors open and guests may roam the house and grounds, enjoying apéritifs and hors d’oeuvres. Playlist will be light and breezy and a reasonable volume.

6:30PM | Dinner

Hearty finger food buffet on the ground floor. Course music will be curated by Carla and as varied in style and volume as the many lives she’s lived.

7:51PM | Golden Hour

Dessert, champagne, coffee, and Jägerbombs available while supplies last for suggested donation. Photo ops downstairs and outside encouraged. Course music will be Elder Millennial Oldies.

8:30PM | Special Remarks

Acknowledgements, superlatives, and good fortune invocation for all delivered by Carla. Brief toasts welcome.

9:00PM | Dance

Cut up the dance floor to club bangers curated by Carla, all suggestions considered, bring your own earplugs.

2:00PM | Last Call

Guests may linger, but the volume will be reduced significantly and Carla may accidentally start cleaning.


Please read the following important information before submitting your RSVP.


  • This event is 21+ and by invitation only. That means no children, no pets, and no more than two guests per RSVP. Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Qualifying party-cipants will receive a top-secret party password upon successfully completing the RSVP form.

  • Sassy’s has a maximum capacity of 100 occupants at a time—which is somewhat flexible due to the drop-in/drop-out nature of the event—however it is still strongly recommended that guests RSVP by July 11th, in the event that additional supplies need to be acquired.

  • Because Carla is not a rich man and is not [currently] being supported by a wealthy benefactress (always accepting applications), there is a suggested donation of $20 per person to attend this event. If that’s something you can’t swing at this time, consider making an in-kind donation!

  • Please be advised that Sassy Ann’s is a SMOKING establishment. However, the ground floor will be designated non-smoking for the event, and their newly-serviced HVAC system provides excellent ventilation. This event has been grandfathered past the city’s new non-smoking ordinance, by authority of the venue manager.

  • Suggested attire for the party is DRESS-UP, duh! Whatever that means to you. Make Carla proud, look loud! Consider bringing easy-breathin’ dance-garb if you plan on staying late.

  • As a closed-to-the-public event venue only now, Sassy Ann’s no longer offers service or even cold storage for alcohol and food. Catered course selections will be available as long as the ice lasts, but consider bringing your own beverages and a bag of ice if you plan on staying late or consuming more than 1-2 drinks per hour.

  • Disruptive and judgmental behavior will not be tolerated. Professional security staff will be on-hand at all times to ensure the safety of all guests entering and exiting the building.

  • Please designate or schedule a sober driver to come scrape up your remains if you anticipate being inebriated by the time you leave. Sassy Ann’s is an historic night club known and monitored regularly by KPD patrol.

Admittance – $20 Suggested Donation per Guest

Thank you so much for helping me make this party happen! I will be accepting cash, checks, and app transfers at the event, but it would be incredibly helpful to have the funds up-front, so I can pay vendors ahead of time instead of on good faith or credit! My handles are below, and just let me know if you’d like to give me a check or cash before the 18th and we’ll figure it out.

In-kind Donations Gladly Accepted

Peruse my Amazon registry below to see what supplies I still need (in case you happen to have something I could use instead)! I’m always looking for connections and suggestions too, if you have ideas for how to make the party more fun or affordable! You can also visit my To-do list to see if there are any tasks you could help out with, like picking up food, kegs, etc. I appreciate all the help I can get!


Thank you for submitting your RSVP!

As long as it checks out, I’ll send you the super-secret party password in just a sec!
Attending?(required)

Please don’t forget to send that $20! The party depends on it!
