California Dreaming Summer Soiree

The California lifestyle bends the love of the outdoors with easy, free-spirited living and provides the perfect theme to a sophisticated backyard soiree.

Welcome guests with hundreds of flickering candles illuminating the pathway. Your guests follow the trail of light to a campfire. Line the garden or beach with torchlights to create an exciting destination — your 'outdoor living room'.

A froth of fine muslin and mosquito netting nestles the garden umbrellas that hang above each end of the dining table. Although very romantic as the netting billows in the summer breeze the canopy also helps keep the bugs away. End the night around the campfire with s'mores and toast the evening while drinking wine in compact, chic tumblers.

 
Roll Out the Red Carpet

Capture the beauty, style and glamour of Hollywood by creating your own movie premiere right in your own back yard or living room. Make your guests the celebrities by sending out movie poster-themed invitations to set the tone for this event.

Designate parking areas in front of your house by featuring guests' names assigned to each parking spot. Roll out a red carpet runner up the driveway for guests to enter the premiere. Hire a few photographers or arm the neighborhood kids with flash cameras to call out their names and snap their photo as they arrive, creating a cacophony of shutterbug sounds.

Various bars and food stations created with the theme of the movie or with Hollywood themed paraphernalia like clapboards, Walk of Fame star replicas, a director's chair or an Oscar make the event interactive for the guests. Set up TV stands and TV trays they can all sit and screen the movie on a large flat screen. An added touch would be setting up a candy bar and a popcorn machine so that after dinner and during the intermission everyone has his or her fill of treats. As guests leave offer everyone their own SWAG bag filled with fun items – something special to remember this glamorous summer evening!

 
The Ultimate Girls Night In

A Tupperware - style party for the modern woman. You and your girlfriends eat, drink and shop in the comfort of your own home.

Start out in the garden lounging on mounds of pillows on your outdoor furniture- a central place for the girls to chat and relax. Set up a table for your dessert and candy bar. The party begins with massages in the afternoon sun followed by post massage wine and chocolates. Once the sun goes down the serious fun begins!

A Bloomingdale's private shopper presents the latest summer fashions as you and your girlfriends dine buffet style featuring appetizers and entrees with seasonal ingredients and ending with chocolate fondue. After dinner, work off all the indulgences by learning exotic dancing from a professional. This will be a night you and your girlfriends remember for years to come.
