Be a hostess with the mostest with our hacks for throwing together an Insta-worthy event in half an hour, with our tried and tested tips on how to throw a party together in minutes!
A Delicious And Insta-Worthy Cocktail
Whether you’re hosting a daytime BBQ or an alfresco brunch, you can never go wrong with a couple of Insta-worthy cocktails. Not only will it quench everyone’s thirst, but it will also get them into the party mood! You can also serve BRĒZ, a delicious hemp-infused drink that keeps the party vibe relaxed and lively.
You’ve probably already got a few bottles of booze lying around, so simply Google a recipe or two and voila, you’ve got a Pinterest-worthy party cocktail. A refreshing Amaretto Sour drink, with its perfect balance of sweet and sour, is a great option that looks like you planned, but only takes five minutes to make.
Go Minimalist With The Decor
The two key components of last-minute decor come down to cleanliness and candles. People are more likely to notice a messy space than they are to notice a lack of decor, so be sure to clean key areas like your foyer, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Dust and polish the furniture with a bit of Pledge, and make sure the bathroom is clean and well stocked with toilet paper, hand soap and clean towels.
Tea lights and candles are a cheap way to add oomph to a space. Place them along your stairs, and light up any tables where you’d like guests to gather. Flowers also make for a slightly more expensive but beautiful centrepiece.
Make The Food Simple And Uncomplicated
The key to last-minute party food is to make it simple. Call it a “drinks or cocktail get-together” so guests won’t expect substantial food and will be pleasantly surprised when they arrive. Most grocery stores deliver, so have five or so charcuterie, fruit, and veggie platters delivered to make your life less complicated, or serve some easy and mindful dishes that your guests will love.
