MAKE A SCENE

Welcome to your behind-the-scenes content with tips and tricks for how to host your best party yet.

The Scene: No Bar Like Home

There really is no bar like home, because at home the bar can be just about anywhere. Bathtub. Bathroom sink. Basement. Backyard. Back of that vintage roadster you never drive. Shaken or stirred, you name the place. We’ll bring the bar… and a record or two for garnish.

How to Style a Compote Bowl

Add ice and use it as a larger ice bucket

Fill it with disco balls and use it as a centerpiece.

A classic option but it's just so perfect.

Who says putting out candy is only appropriate at Halloween?

Great filled with wildflowers

For us, a great party is so much more than how you set the table.

It's about setting the whole scene.

Unpack the Fun
The party starts when you open the box.
It's a party, send an invite.
Whether it’s a party of two or a full house, great events are best paired with good company.
Scale it up or down
Add Nana’s china, flowers from the local grocer, or our à la carte party extras to take things to the next level.
SIP AND SNACK.
From a five-course dinner to a simple spritz, sustenance is a must. We have a penchant for fried chicken and champers.
JUST ADD FUN
Play never-have-I-ever. Saber champagne. Bring back spin-the bottle. A touch of fun makes it memorable.
GET THE CONVO GOING
Pop the party cracker and voila, you’ve got the gift of gab.
END SCENE
The party doesn’t stop when it’s over. Put it all back in the box, and let’s do this again soon.

Set the Scene
Our favorite way to scale our Scenes up and down. We can’t wait to see how you #makeascene.

Give bathtub gin a whole new meaning.
In short supply of a cooler? Fill the gorgeous clawfoot tub of yours with ice and stock with everything from champagne to the Champagne of Beers.  Bathroom shelves were made to be adorned with more than just towels.

Feste Practice: Add the silver compote bowl into the mix for a hero place to store drinks.

Shake it up a little, actually a lot. 
We recommend a fun take on a three martini lunch. Pair the  Scene with classic finger foods:  cucumber cream cheese sandwiches, a cheddar-horseradish cheese ball, and shrimp cocktail. Display martini garnishes including olives, lemon twist, and pickled onions for your guests to GIY (garnish it yourself).  Fun glassware always takes the party up a notch and can be used as a conversation starter.

Feste Practice: Pre-set garnishes on the cocktail picks so guests can easily dress their cocktail.

Make it Extra
Have a Bloody Mary’s in your bloody pjs.
Don't leave home to get ready for this matinée party. Dress code: strict jammies-only.

Feste Practice: Order your favorite supplies and garnishes from your choice of on-demand delivery service and send your neighbors a wakeup call invite. You can't go wrong with bagels and schmear, or whatever your local delicacy is.
