The idea for a potato book theme party went viral a few years ago, and it's making a comeback.
It all stemmed from this tweet by @njsimmondsbooks that said
Me, to my 11 yo: What do you want to do for your 12th birthday party in Feb?
"Her: I want a Potato Book party
"Me: What's that?
"Her: Just something I came up with. We serve six different types of potatoes, everyone brings their books, and we read. "Genius!"
The idea is making a massive comeback, with some sharing how they incorporated it into their parties.
One woman shared that her husband threw her a surprise spud party.

It just goes to show that potato love is real, and it is a reasonable party theme.
My family once hosted a potato funeral luncheon.

For Great-Aunt Gert, dinner had to have 🥔 . When Mom made lasagna, she also cooked a 🥔 to serve Gert.
When she died at 98, we all made potato dishes for the luncheon after her funeral. pic.twitter.com/4sbB3gvllb
