Hey party peeps!
Today I am guest posting over on A Blissful Nest as part of her ABN Holiday Dream Team with my tips on hosting a Girls Night Out Holiday Party using a non-traditional color palette of blue and white! I am beyond excited to be part of such wonderful talent and if you haven’t visited A Blissful Nest’s blog, you should as she is one of my favorite party and interior designers and her style is pin-worthy!
I would love your support and click on over to my post here and leave a comment if you like it. In addition to my post on ABN where I focus on my tablescape and mini candy buffet, you could also incorporate this idea setting up a non-alcoholic drinks table too. Of course, you could also offer alcoholic drink options as well.
Girls Night Out Holiday Mock-tini Bar!
Check out these Mock-tini recipes to create non-alcoholic drinks to serve on your bar. Mocktails come in many different flavors and colors…so you are sure to find just the right Mock-tail to match your party’s color scheme. Ever wonder how much a setup like this actually costs? Well, I’m giving you my supply list with pricing below! Total Cost of this Mock-tini Bar: $310
Setting the bar up is easy when you follow these 4 steps:
1. Pre-mix all the drinks and have them in pitchers on the bar
2. Put out lots of classic drink glassware on the bar to serve the drinks in
3. Place small bowls of garnishments for the drinks on the bar
4. Have plenty of the pre-mixed drinks chilling in the refrigerator to replenish the bar
