Setting the table:
This theme is fun, cozy and a little messy. So we’d reach for things with playful colors and textures like striped napkins, paper tablecloths (with guests’ names written at their place setting), centerpieces using tomatoes and greenery and several of our “Pesto” tapers along the table. Because what’s a dinner party without candlelight??
Napkins we’re loving:

The Menu:
Signature Cocktail: Batched gin martinis; our go-to reci from Join Jules
*Hosting tip— pre-make batched cocktails as the signature drink so refreshing your guests’ drinks is as easy as just pouring, or guests can help themselves!
App: Antipasti; Marinated olives, meats, peperoncini, cheeses
Wine with dinner: Our fav
Main: Bolognese; we love Ina’s easy weeknight version
Dessert: Olive oil cake & limoncello; we love this version
