What's a tiny detail of a celebration that you love far more than the big stuff?

B Natural answer

What I notice first is the music before the party starts. It is usually low and a little messy, but it tells me the celebration is really beginning. I also like little paper flags on the wall and the first bite of dessert, because those small things feel personal and kind.
