Best Tips for Casually Entertaining At Home
Theme & Decor
For this girls’ night evening we decided on Galentine’s day celebration. Lots of pink and girlie vibes and cheers to sisterhood.
Other theme ideas you can choose are spa retreats, movie or tv nights, charcuterie board party.
Decorate the space with themed decorations, matching colors and cozy lighting. Personally, I love cozy and elegant dinner party with candles.

Set up a DIY cocktail station with various spirits, mixers, and garnishes or create signature cocktails or let each guest craft their own personalized drink.
For our cocktail we decided on Pomegranate Champagne
