WORRY-NO-MORE DÉCOR

Don’t feel pressured to do elaborate centerpieces each time you feel like playing host. Items such as seasonal fruit make great decor accents. Candlelight creates a warm vibe instantly. Keep a large bag of tea lights on hand, and use everyday kitchen items such as wine glasses as candle holders.

KEEP THE PANTRY COMPLETE

Keep the essentials such as dips, cheeses and bread on hand for any last-minute entertaining needs. Don’t forget to stock the bar with a few bottles of red and white wine. Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc are versatile options, and will work well with most entrées.

MIX-A-LOT

Once you decide to host a gathering, start compiling tunes for a playlist. Music is a critical, but often overlooked, detail. Appropriate tunes will automatically set the mood, allowing you to spend less time mixing and more time mingling.

READY, SET, ENTERTAIN!

To create a party on minimal notice, call Blue Plate, your personal secret weapon. We will create a menu with your crowd in mind, or supplement what you are serving with side dishes, desserts, specialty drinks, or paired wines. We can even bring the extras such as linen, china or servingware. Your guests will think you’ve been planning for months.
