A Classic Champagne Tower<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Both eye-catching and elegant, we absolutely love a classic champagne tower\u2014the quintessential belle of the ball! What could be more welcoming than these statuesque tiers of bubbly?<\/span><\/p>\n

Greet With an Entire (mini!) Bottle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A miniature bottle of bubbly is exciting enough, but then add a straw to it? You\u2019ll find yourself surrounded by the happiest of party guests. Perfect for an intimate brunch or evening dinner party, we recommend positioning these beauties on a vintage bar cart\u2014strategically positioned near your entrance, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Personalized Tray of Hand-Lettered Cocktails<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A welcoming tray of cocktails is even more celebratory with a touch of personalization. Ideal for smaller, more intimate events, we love the idea of greeting your guests by name. Also, bonus points if your name tags compliment the overall color palette!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow With a Repurposed Cocktail Display <\/strong><\/h3>\n

With a clear vision (and a little elbow grease!) you can turn even the most unexpected items into a well-styled display. Okay, so maybe you don\u2019t have a stylish, worn ladder just sitting around. Visit your local vintage shops to steal a deal or spark inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Pitcher Perfect Cocktail Display<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The bottom line? Cocktails should be two things: delicious and accessible. So we love the idea of whipping up seasonal cocktail recipes by the pitcher-full (and so will your guests!)<\/span><\/p>\n
