Wanted: Stock the Bar Party

I was recently asked for some ideas on throwing a fab Stock the Bar party (my favorite kind of fete to throw before impending vows – couples go home with glassware, tools and liquor they need to get their home bar ready for action). While working up a great list of décor, snacks, desserts and favors, I consulted some photos from a Stock the Bar party Meg and I threw last summer for her darling sister Leigh and her now husband Matt.
First on the list for any successful party with a boozy theme should be fun straws. Striped paper straws are my fav.

Snacks included individual bites reminiscent of bar food. Chicken bites with buffalo ranch dip, caprese skewers (to lighten things up), and spinach artichoke dip.


Dessert consisted of individual blueberry cobblers made in mason jars (totally cute, easy to make, and a cinch to carry around an indoor/outdoor party) and card-themed sugar cookies.

The favors might just be the best part. We packaged spiced almonds with a recipe for Bourbon Slush (the signature drink of the party), and a toast to Matt and Leigh. What fun!
Are you gearing up for wedding season? What are your favorite party tips?

What a great idea for a party! Everything looked great. Can you make some snacks for me? More specifically, can you make a batch of spiced almonds?
ReplyDeleteThat depends, do you like them crispy?
ReplyDeleteon second thought, maybe you could make cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome! Everything is so well planned. Attended few get together at party venue like showers, birthdays and kitties often. Every day was really very special and out of the world. Catering and baking part was so well done. Thinking to book one of them for mom's birthday in a couple of weeks. Hoping for a positive response from her.
