Check Off the Details
There’s no need to rush around last minute when you’ve already checked the details off your to-do list. Start with a budget. A spreadsheet listing your guests, ideas and supplies is a great way to track expenses so you won’t break the bank. Then comes the fun stuff like building a menu, making a playlist, accessorizing drinkware so guests always know which cup is theirs, planning an icebreaker activity to get everyone acquainted. Finally, the dishes can wait! Enjoy your guests, the conversations and the event you worked so hard to create.

A Pairing for Every Plate
There’s no better complement to a delicious meal than a well-chosen bottle of wine or spirits. The right pairing can enhance the characteristics of not only the wine or spirit but also the food. When choosing the bottle to serve, think about the whole meal — from appetizers to the main course to dessert. Check out our pairing pages to take some of the guesswork off your plate. But above all else, consider your guests' preferences to ensure a great time.

Cocktails for Any Occasion
Find the perfect cocktails for your next gathering — some have stood the test of time — that’s why they’re called “classic.” If you’re looking to shake or spice things up, we have more up our sleeve!
