Planning Your Dinner Party
From Start to Finish

Dream it.
Peruse Pinterest and start to gather ideas of what you want your dinner party to look and feel like. Start a mood board and dream to your heart’s desire.

Build it.
Grab a pen and paper or use platforms like Miro (our personal favorite) to narrow down your ideas. Don’t forget to curate your guest list and keep them in mind when planning!

Send it.
Whether it’s an evite or paper invite, give your guests plenty of time to plan ahead and save the date. we generally send this out 3-4 weeks ahead of time.
-
Order it.
This is where we step in! Once you have finalized your theme and your vision, it’s time to order your tablescape. We have pre-made bundles or you can create your own to check your tablescape off your list.

Cook it.
Catering or cooking from home? Developing a menu ahead of time can save a lot of stress day of. Potluck style is always a good idea if you aren’t an expert cook or even getting ready-made foods so you can focus on setting the table and entertaining.
