The start of the summer brings the season of barbeques, graduations, outdoor concerts, and so much more. Outdoor party season has officially commenced! Bring sophistication and class to your summer outing by planning a Champagne and Dessert party - guaranteed to make everyone’s summer night sweet!

Drinks No one can say no to a glass of cool bubbly on a hot night. Set up a champagne table complete with champagne flutes (for the ‘gram), and normal wine glasses (for those who prefer a bit heavier of a pour). For less host “to dos”, hire a bartender to craft specialty champagne cocktails. You can also chose potluck flair for the party and have each guest bring their favorite bottle of bubbly to share. Check out our pinterest board for unique champagne mixed drinks, and inspiration here. Don’t be afraid to (literally) mix up the cocktails, the more the merrier!

Desserts Keep the party vibes sweet with a dessert station. This table should host small squares of chocolate, a variety of fruits (especially berries), boozy popsicles (recipe here), or a sherbet bar. Anything light and fruity goes!

Decor and Activities For an outdoor soiree, you can never go wrong with classy white string lights. Hang the lights around your patio/outdoor space to create ambiance. Put out gold picture frames with champagne themed quotes (found here), or just print them on paper to add to the mood. Keep the decor on trend by using a champagne colored balloons to mimic your bubbly. If you have a pool in your yard, throw a few fruit shaped floats in the water to add unexpected flare. To keep your guest entertained, book a photo booth with a sparkly backdrop (examples here). For more photo booth fun, have bedazzled champagne bottles ready to use as props. With this fabulous decor, guests will be posting to Instagram all night!

Extras Make your event last past the end of the evening...If your event requires a giveaway, you can never go wrong with mini bottles of champagne, or chocolate covered fruit to take home! Find ample ideas here!
