No doubt you love to go out and party but you don't need to hit every hot spot to celebrate (which can be quite expensive). All you need are a few essentials to keep your home party-ready.
1. Glassware
These are just things that a girl has to have. From everyday glasses to special occasion champagne flutes. College is over, so no more disposable plastic cups. Shown: PB Classic Margarita Glasses (set of 6) $22.00 Pottery Barn
2. Serving Trays or Appetizer Plates
These little gems will make your dishes or cocktails standout and look amazing. Select a tray that fits your style be it classic or funky or pastel or bold and colorful. Shown: Zebra Tray $29.95 Pier 1 Imports3. Impromptu culinary supplies
Make sure your pantry is party-ready by keeping a few items in stock, a few to include are: gourmet crackers, salsa, deli meat, baguettes, olive oil, capers, pasta, cheeses, Marinated artichokes, cookies/biscotti, pound cake (keep in the freezer), ice cream, whipped cream and smoked or spiced nuts.
4. Ice Bucket
It's a sleek and easy way for guests to refill ice for their drinks or to chill a bottle of champagne. Shown: Williams Ice Bucket $64.00 exclusively at Willams-Sonoma
5. Music
Can't have a party without music, make sure it's easy to find and use (giving guests the chance to play DJ).
6. A Home Bar
No need for an elaborate set up just keep: a few bottles of everyday wine (red and white), one or two bottles of special occasion wine ($25 and up), one or two bottles of sparkling wine or champagne and a few bottles of your favorite liquor. You'll have all you will need for a small get together.
