DIY parties are kind of our jam. Really though, what better way to spend an afternoon than making cool stuff with your peeps? Today, we’re pairing up with Windsor Vineyards to bring you a quick guide on what you’ll need to make your parDIY one for the books.
Let’s get to it!
Get
: You guys, Windsor Vineyards now makes wine labels that you can color in their Windsor Drink & Draw Party Packs, so you can flex those creative muscles even while you’re sipping some red. They are customizable (you can use a template or design your own), and there is only a two-bottle minimum, though let’s face it — you probably want to get a case :) The wine is award-winning, after all. These babies would also make great birthday presents, don’t you think?
2. Create a DIY supply station: Designate a space for tons of DIY supplies — pens, embroidery thread, washi tape, the works. Even if you have a designated DIY for the night, you may find that you want to mix it up.
<b> Make some Insta-worthy apps: </b>
fancy crostini! These delicious bites are a cinch to make, and they’re seriously beautiful.
<b> Bring DIY into the Main Course:</b>
thai lettuce wrap bar. That way, everyone can customize their meal to their liking, and you won’t have to worry about people not feeling the food choices.
<b> Make an unexpected dessert</b>
Like… rainbow donuts?! The theme is creativity, so why not get weird? Animal cracker panna cotta and mini ice cream sandwiches are some other quirky yummy options.
<b> Bump the jams:</b>
