Next in the series of party "must haves" from stylish fellow bloggers is the lovely and talented Marianne from HAVEN AND HOME. You will love her great eye and southern charm!
1. Coasters like THESE
2. Prosecco for Morning, Noon or Night, this is always a crowd favorite. Try NINO FRANCO
3. Something sparkly like this CARDIGAN.
4. Comfortable and chic shoes. When in doubt go with a WEDGE!
5. A beautifully scented candle. Marianne's favorite is RED FRUIT by Botanicus.
6. Stylish Paper Napkins. Yes, cloth napkins are preferable, but if Marianne is being honest, paper usually wins in her house. A great source is IKEA.
7. Mason jars filled with candles and scattered down the center of the table. Instant ambiance and so simple!
8. PANDORA The genius website takes the pressure off of you to come up with a great play list. Depending on the crowd, Marianne's favorites stations for entertaining: Van Morrison, Bruno Mars and Girls Just Want To Have Fun.
9. RECIPE CARDS When guests request the recipe, Marianne gives them a personal recipe card. Love this idea!

Marianne - You truly have southern hospitality! I want a seat at your table.
Great ideas! I especially love the recipe cards! Friends are always asking for recipes and in the middle of a party, I always claim that I'll e-mail it and then forget to do it. And wedges are always great, especially for a lawn party.
ReplyDeleteLove the Prosecco idea. Always festive. I just got Pandora..excited.

ReplyDeleteMight this be the beginnings of a Party Resources book? :)
ReplyDeleteI love all of Marianne's suggestions - mason jars are so great for candles. I get them free with my ice tea from my favorite bbq place. I just need to start a collection for entertaining in warmer temps!
