Our Favorite Spring Entertaining Essentials

When the flowers start blooming and the weather begins to warm up, we begin itching to start entertaining more! From fresh flowers to cocktail necessities, Team Glitter Guide is sharing their favorite, must-have essentials they always have on hand to throw together the perfect spring party!Carrie: “My favorite seasonal party supply this time of year is a really great set of vintage glasses. I always keep my eye out for them when I go antiquing because they add so much life and personality to a buffet or sit-down dinner set up all through spring and summer!”

Erin: “Display platters and cake plates! The different levels make everything more appealing and pretty.”

Caitlin: “Edible flowers—they are the easiest way to make a drink look pretty and you can easily add them to store-bought treats to achieve a bakery-shop look for less.”

Natalie: “I always have white wine and some kind of bubbly on hand so I’m never stranded if we end up inviting people over last minute. My current favorites are Bogle Chardonnay and Chandon Brut Classic.”

Carly: “Baked goods! I love baking seasonal and themed treats for any spring get-together. Sugar always makes people happy!”

Arin: “Party essentials! One of my favorite bloggers, DesignLoveFest just released the cutest collection via Target (I almost bought out the entire store) featuring fun plates, cups and napkins to get the party started! ‘Good Vibes,’ indeed! Happy colors!”

Taylor: “Fresh flowers. Nothing says spring more at a party than pretty blooms.”

Abby: “Cute straws and fun drink stirrers. I’m a bit of an entertaining amateur, but I tend to think any drink looks and tastes better with a cute straw or drink stirrer in it. In the meantime, I’m working on stepping up my cocktail game.”

Nicole: “Fresh flowers are the perfect way to add color and life to any springtime gathering!”
