Easy Entertaining : The Case for an Impromptu Party Stash!
Over here we are all for celebrating all of life’s occasions - big and small! Life is full of unexpected moments that deserve a sprinkle of confetti and a dose of cheer. That's why I swear by having an impromptu party stash at the ready! Partner got promoted? Kid aced the big test? Bestie drop by with a big announcement? Your party stash has the magical ability to turn an ordinary day into an unforgettable moment!
So, what should your party stash include? One golden rule: keep it festive, but keep it versatile! This way, you're prepped for any type of celebration. Here's my go-to list:
Celebrate banner
Colorful pom pom banner
Assortment of paper plates, cocktail napkins, paper straws, disposable cups + cutlery
Confetti balloons (does it get any more festive?!) and for that extra touch, a helium tank
Champagne + non-alcoholic bubble drinks
A few ingredients to make a quick charcuterie board (I aim to have one crowd-pleasing cheese, fig jam, crackers, dried fruit and some nuts on hand; bonus points for some salumi and small chocolates!)
And that’s it! Ready. Set. Party! Suddenly, your living room transforms into the ultimate party headquarters, and your guest of honor takes center stage. You'll be ready to shower anyone with pomp and circumstance, even if the celebration wasn't penciled into your calendar.
Remember, it's not about perfection—it's about crafting moments that create joy. So, keep that impromptu party stash well-stocked and be prepared to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary at the drop of a hat. After all, life's too short not to celebrate every little win! Cheers!
