Today’s question:

“What kind of party would you love to host or attend?”

Heather from Olive and A: I’m always up for a party but a party centered around food, now that’s my kind of party. I have been wanting to host a s’mores party for ages now and I think this is the summer of the s’mores party. I’d set up a bar with different kinds of quality chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers. Yum!   (link for image)

Brandi from Not Your Average Ordinary: It may not be a typical theme party, but I would love to design an entire dinner party menu around figs. My guests would feel like they had walked into the yard of a Tuscan villa. (image)

 

Melanie from You Are My Fave: I want to attend one of those dinners set up in the middle of a field with the really long tables and delicious fresh courses. (image via Outstanding in the Field)


Will from Bright Bizarre: A casual and quintessentially British picnic with tasty foods and good friends. (image)

Beth from Hello Splendor: How fun would a chic campfire party be?! An intimate outdoor party with s’mores, cocktails, and campfire stories between friends. (image)

Justine from Urban Scarlet: The theme party I am wanting to host this summer is an ice cream social — It’s the perfect way to beat the sunny days :)

Evie from Evie S. gave a great response to today’s question that I had to share in its entirety!

Evie: Shortly after I saw Vivien’s question, I started thinking about what fun it would be to plan an outdoor movie night for my neighborhood. So I set about finding inspiration and DIY ideas to make it happen. I hope this leaves you inspired to have your own!

Here are the essentials you need to host an outdoor movie night:

And here are some fun non-essentials to create a most memorable evening.

Snacks and Cold Beverages – The classic movie staples – popcorn, redvines, and boxed candy.

Gummy bears and ice cold sodas would be nice too.

Ambient Lighting – String twinkling lights around tree trunks and drape them on low hanging branches.

Or for a dramatic effect, hang a chandelier.

Appropriate Seating – Though not practical on a large scale, for a backyard movie night a homemade teepee like the one above would be most intimate and cozy. Otherwise, some pretty blankets will do.

Thank you Vivien for having me!
