Marga's 18th — From Minor to Major

In the Key of Marga

This celebration is for the people I love.

Turning 18 is a pretty big milestone, and I wanted to spend it surrounded by the people who have been part of my life and made it what it is. So if you're reading this because you received an invitation, please know that you're here for a reason.

I love you, I value having you in my life, and I want you there as I officially go from minor to major!

We're celebrating over a little high tea merienda — good food, good company, and an afternoon together. Come as you are, have fun, and enjoy the day with me. I just want all my favorite people together in one place!

with love, Marga ♡

If you're invited, you probably know me. The question is: what does your version of Marga look like?

For my 18th, I'm giving everyone the chance to make something based on how you know me — a memory, an inside joke, a story, an impression, something you've noticed, something we've experienced together, or anything else that could only really come from you.

The only real assignment is: who is Marga to YOU?
