And yes, it's like a wedding. We rented nice white chairs, because our regular dining room chairs weren't nearly fancy enough. Fountains. Mirrors. Ice sculptures. You name it, someone has it at their pref party.

That said, it's unsurprising that there aren't a TON of pictures out there...everyone acts like their pref party is some big secret, even though half or two-thirds of the women who see it every year won't ever be members.

I don't mind the big decorations that can be carried over year after year, or even getting some balloons or lesser-priced items that have to be bought every year (which can still make a huge impact)... but fountains and ice sculptures? I found these two pictures below on Pinterest and was shocked that anyone would buy one of these. I wasn't part of a huge recruitment system, but things like this seem like a waste of money, and a superficial way to impress the PNMs.

Just my opinion...
