In this lively episode, the Friends After 40 crew—Lisa, James, Ramahn, and Janine—dive into the planning and excitement of their upcoming "Cinco de Derby" party, a mashup of Cinco de Mayo and Kentucky Derby celebrations! The hosts share their love (and occasional stress) for throwing themed parties, complete with themed outfits, decorations, creative cocktails, and even a surprise adult pinata.

• Relationship dynamics when it comes to setting up and decorating for parties
• RSVP etiquette and how last-minute cancellations really affect hosts
