Informal Place Setting

Every girl needs to know how to act at a

Dinner Party, especially if she is invited to so many fabulous shin-digs...

Check out the place setting cheat sheet below

(to prevent having Julia Robert's 'Pretty Woman' moments)

 Cheers! to always knowing exactly what your doing and looking fabulous while doing it :)



Cocktails

One of the easiest Dinner Party tricks is pre-prep pitcher drinks. 

You can mix your cocktail concoction the night before, let it sit and chill in the fridge overnight, and the next day you (and your guests) can enjoy together!

Strawberry Basil Margaritas

1 can (12 ounces) frozen limeade concentrate
15 strawberries

8 basil leaves
2 to 2 1/2 cups tequila (gold or silver)

Empty the limeade concentrate into a pitcher

Add 2 1/2 cans of water 

 1 1/2 cans of tequila

Slice the strawberries and place in pitcher

Crumple the basil leaves in you hands, then add to the pitcher as well

Cover, and let sit in the fridge overnight

In the morning, the margaritas will be saucy pink color and ready to enjoy!!
