Summer Party Hosting Essentials
With summer quickly approaching, so are summer parties. I love hosting parties at my home. But sometimes gathering all of the essentials can be overwhelming. That’s why I decided to put together this little list for y’all on some of my summer party hosting essentials and gifts. Whether you’re hosting, or attending, you’re in the right place! (You can check out my entire idea list for hosting essentials here!)
Let’s start with the easy stuff. This disposable disposable plate set it perfect for aesthetics and convenience! I cannot be bothered with prepping for a party, and then washing dishes after the party. I know this is a hot topic every time I mention it, but I am DEFINITELY team paper or plastic when it comes to hosting events! And with the plates, you’ll need flatware to go along with it.
To go with your dinnerware, always opt for plastic cups! Obviously. I love this cup holder with a slot to put a marker! It makes it so easy to store your cups and mark them so we’re not picking up each others’ drinks and passing around all the germs. Lol. This plate and silverware organizer is also great for keeping everything neat! Parties can get hectic, so let’s set ourselves up for success on the up-front!
While I am team paper or plastic for dinnerware and cups, I do LOVE a pretty charcuterie board! This one is perfect, because it’s large enough for all of your charcuterie items and it’s SO PRETTY! If you don’t feel like putting together a whole board, these cute little charcuterie cups are a nice touch for aesthetics too!
If you need more pretty food display items, a three tiered stand always takes your food display to the next level! Along with some pretty serving platters for other items.
Of course, there are always things that need to stay cold, so you could grab a chilled dip bowl and appetizer platter so you don’t have to keep running back and forth from the fridge. Absolutely genius invention, if you ask me!
I love these little chalkboards for labeling food, as well. It just makes everything look organized and put together, which is what we’re going for.
Where there is food to keep chilled, there is also usually food to keep warm. This triple buffet server is a great option for any food items that need to stay warm throughout your event!
To go along with your food displays, pretty drink dispensers and carafes always look so nice! A rolling cooler is also a great idea, because you can conveniently move it around, depending on the space you’re hosting in! We’re all about ease over here.
If you like chilled wine, this wine bottle chiller is great for keeping your wine bottle cold in between refills, too!
If you’re serving other beverages besides wine, this cocktail shaker set and margarita rimmer set are a cool detail to add in for your beverages! It’s giving an upscale vibe, if you know what I mean? Like we’re killing the hosting game!
When you’re hosting a summer event (especially in the south) flies around the food can be an issue. So I thought these pop-up mesh food covers were a great idea to preserve food items!
I hope these items take some of the pressure off your hosting experience! Also, if you need a gift for your hostess, go visit my Hostess Gift Guide blog post for some great ideas!
