INSPIRED OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING!

Elegant table setting with green glasses, purple rimmed wine and beer glasses, woven place mates and white plates and dinnerwear

So…I am thinking about throwing a dinner party at my house a week from Sunday. The operative word in the preceding sentence is “thinking”. This is merely a thought…an idea…an inclination at this point…

Need to try to transform my thoughts into actions. Hmmm….(easier said than done…)

This outdoor tabletop setting has provided some inspiration for me – elegant dining alfresco. Love the colors (green, white and purple) and the feel the green glasses, the purple rimmed wine and beer glasses, the woven place mats and the white plates and dinnerware…all work so wonderfully together. Is this enough to motivate me to throw a party?

Let’s say for the fun of it (all hypothetical)…I actually make a definitive decision to have a party. And then let’s say for even more fun, I actually pull off the decor part of it all and set a gorgeous table. The bigger question then becomes “what do I serve for dinner”???? Is food necesary if things look really good???? LOL!

Seriously though…Help!

    I love this table! It is definitely inspiring! Wouldn’t it be nice if it was “okay” to throw a fab party, with your table set and decor but not have to worry about the food part, ha ha! (yeah right) That would make things much easier!!! Good luck whatever you decide to do. I’m sure if you decided yes, it will be a wonderful party!! Take pics if you do!

    I like Alisa’a idea, too. You could pick a theme, like Italian, BBQ, or Mexican & let the guests decide on the dishes to bring.

Did you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-ÉlyséeDid you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-Élysées closes to traffic entirely?
No cars. Just people, walking straight down the center with the Arc de Triomphe ahead. Then I walked home over The Seine. It had just rained, and the sky was doing something extraordinary. And of course, the Eiffel Tower showed up right on cue.
Paris on a quiet Sunday is something else. 🖤
