Episode 4 - Creative Entertaining Ideas
4 Fun & Creative Party Ideas
Picnic - Create a fun and festive picnic with blankets, decorative pillows and umbrella. Make it extra special with vintage china and serving pieces. Create a charcuterie board or sandwich bar with all the fixings.
Backyard Movie Night - with a simple projector and white sheet, you can create your own backyard theater. Create areas for your guests to lounge with blankets, pillows and lawn chairs. Provide snack boxes for each guest and match the food to the theme of the movie.
Wine Tasting at Home - support your local wineries and create a fun wine tasting party at home. You can also check out these wine subscriptions: Vinebox & Winc
Chopped Party - just like the TV show, but in your own home. Drop off a basket of ingredients at your friends, they do the same for you, and then let the creativity begin. Document your day by taking photos and videos of your creations and then have a virtual party using the House Party app so you can enjoy your culinary masterpieces with your friends. If you use this idea, share your photos and tag us on Instagram @soulstyleparty and use #soulstylechoppedparty
Soul Style Discovery of the Week
Whiskey in a Teacup by Reese Witherspoon
Academy award-winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the Southern style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and charm.
Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said a combination of beauty and strength made Southern women “whiskey in a teacup”. We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside, we’re strong and fiery.
Reese’s Southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of Southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken. It’s reflected in how she entertains, decorates her home, and makes holidays special for her kids - not to mention how she talks, dances, and does her hair (in this audiobook, you will learn Reese’s fail-proof, only slightly insane hot-roller technique). Reese loves sharing Dorothea’s most delicious recipes as well as her favorite Southern traditions, from midnight barn parties to backyard bridal showers, magical Christmas mornings to rollicking honky-tonks.
It’s easy to bring a little bit of Reese’s world into your home, no matter where you live. After all, there’s a Southern side to every place in the world, right?
