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

This is such a fun idea. A girl’s night out sounds perfect right about now. I love the colors you picked. We got a purple tree this year.
What a beautiful layout. I love this idea.
Great ideas!
And by the way — I just love the table cloth in the first photo!
The colors remind me of Frozen. The cocktails sound great!
How fun is your party bar and so very cool looking.
So pretty and fun! I’d love to do this – sadly the weather here lets us down so often.
Wow I love the color scheme! The mock-tinis sound great!
How fun and beautiful everything looks. I love to host parties and I love your ideas.
What a fun party theme. I love the blue color it’s my favorite.
Ok you are hired can you come over tomorrow I am hosting our dirty santa gift exchange and can use some fun girls night out ambiance.
That is sooooo pretty. Ice blue and white is my favorite color combination lately. My daughter wants a dress like that.
What a great idea, and I’m loving all the decor and the martini bar!
Anytime you would like to invite me over for a party – I’m so there! 😀 I love the displays you created…I’m having a hard time picking my favorite set!
I am obsessed! This is so my style. I love the rock candy!
I thought of Krystal when I was reading, and laughed when I saw her post just above mine. 🙂 Everything looks fantastic!
What a great idea for a girls night! Love the rock candy and the whole idea of the mock-tini bar!
Amazing drinks, there are so many; I couldn’t even begin to think of what to try first
Love how everything matches and the blue salt how cool is that. Girls night out indeed. Mine was never like this. Ultimately cool. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness. This is gorgeous! I would love to have a girls night out and to be able to plan a presentation as wonderful looking as this! Fun drink selection, too!
I wish my girls night out had decor and cocktails like this! The decor reminds me of Frozen 🙂
Oh I love it! What a great looking party too!
What a fabulous party idea! I could also see this being used for a child’s birthday, except with different drink options.
This looks great. I love the blue color. I would love to have a girls night. I will have to try making a few of the mocktails.
This is truly a holiday party, not a Christmas party. I love that since I celebrate Hanukkah and always get stuck going to Christmas events. Super cute!
I love the decor. What a great theme. Everything looks wonderful.
Everything just looks so wonderful. It made me want to throw a nice party for my friends.
What a gorgeous display I love the ice blue motif. This would be one amazing party that I would want to attend.
I am literally dying at how cute this set up is! I need you to plan all of my parties girl!! xoxo
I love martinis! This is such a great idea.
So where is my invitation? 😉 Looks beautiful. I love the rock candy. We used rock candy for my daughters bday this year. Everyone loved it!
What a beautiful set up! I love the colorsl
Mock tini party is a really great idea! I may suggest this for a luncheon I have coming up in February. Pinning!
These are my kind of drinks. I love these table settings they are beautiful.
What a beautiful setup, and the colors just take me away. I have never heard of “mock” tini before, but this would be a fun way to celebrate or just have a relaxing girls day!
This sounds like such a fun idea. I may have to try this for my summer moms night in! All the drink recipes look amazing!
