It’s officially lemonade season and lemons have been all the rage as of late. Which is a party theme we can totally get behind. So when life handed us lemons what did we do? Throw a lemon themed party of course! Here’s a few tips for a throwing a simply sweet lemon party.

WALL DECOR

When setting up for a party, we always recommend that you start with putting up wall decor. Especially if it’s going above or behind a table, that way you’re not having to move a beautifully decorated table around to hang items up.

For this adorable and simple backdrop we used 5″ yellow balloons, fishing line and printable leaves. To create this party garland all you have to do is blow up the balloons, string them together with fishing line and then stick the leaves to the balloons. We recommend using double side sticky tape or a low heat glue gun. That’s it!

CENTERPIECES

• 

• 

Once your wall decor is finished, put your table into position and start with a base. We love using paper table runners because they come in a variety or colors and patterns, plus they make for an easy cleanup!

Next, place your centerpieces on the table. For this party we went with fresh lemons and used trays we had on hand. We also added in some cute faux plants for a pop of green. If you have a glass bowl or vase, you can display lemons that way. If you don’t want to use fresh lemons, opt for florals, a green garland, or even yellow honeycombs!

PLACE SETTINGS

Now that the centerpieces are done, it’s time to set the place settings! This is our favorite step because it brings the table together and there are so many pieces that can be mixed and matched based on whatever the party theme is. For this table we went with:

• Gold to Go Dinner Plates, Dessert Plates, Cups and Paper Straws
• Oh Kale No Dinner Plates, Dessert Plates, Guest Napkins and Cups
• White & Gold Striped Cocktail Napkins

To incorporate our lemon theme into each place setting, we added lemon place cards and lemon straw attachments!

• 

• 

Now that your decor is up and table is set, it’s time to host away! If you need a lemon themed cocktail, check out this Rosé Lemonade Sangria we made. We promise it won’t let you down!

Fourth of July weekend is just over a week away, so we’re here to give you some tips and tricks to gear up for the holiday! We know that celebrations might look a little different this year, so whether you’ll be spending the weekend by your pool, or grilling out in your backyard, we’ve got you covered with some fun cocktails and cute decor ideas.

First things first…let’s drive into a patriotic pour that will get the party started like it’s 1776!

YOU WILL NEED

• Bomb Pop
• San Pellegrino
• Prosecco

COCKTAIL

This cocktail is one of our easiest yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less fun! For the adults pour Champagne or Prosecco into a poolside safe acrylic glass, for the kiddos use San Pellegrino and pour into a festive party cup. Add a bomb pop to each and voila, you have yourself a refreshing yet festive drink. Oh, and don’t forget these cute cocktail napkins!

While our streets may not be filled with marches and city-wide parades (thanks rona), that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the LGBTQ community at home. Today we are showing you three simple ways to throw your own Pride Party at home!

DIY Rainbow Heart Backdrop

Hung on the wall in groups or individually, these rainbow colored hearts are the perfect pop of fun and color to your Pride celebration. Plus they make the cutest backdrop for a #photomoment!

YOU WILL NEED

• Printer
• Colorful Card Stock (we recommend 6-8 different colors)
• Scissors
• Tape
• Double Sided Sticky Tape

Step 1: Download our free Pride Hearts printable here.

Step 2: Print the first page off onto individual colored pieces of paper. Whatever colors you want your hearts to be! If you don’t have colored paper, the rest of the pages in the printable are pre-colored hearts.

Step 3: Using your scissors carefully cut along the black outline.

Step 4: Place strips of double sided sticky tape to the back of the hearts and stick them to the wall in the pattern and look you desire.

Pro tip: To create the backdrop we did, we printed off the document 10 times to create 20 hearts.

Decorate the room with every color of the rainbow!

SET THE TABLE

Just like there shouldn’t be any limits on love, why limit your table decor to only one color? Draw inspiration from the Pride flag and ombre your plates, cups and napkins. Our signature Posh Collection comes in almost every color and is perfect for this colorful occasion!

BLOW UP SOME BALLOONS

Another easy way to fill the room is with rainbow colored balloons. Whether you line them down the table as a center piece or bundle your favorite colors together, you can’t go wrong with an array of colored balloons!

Other Pride themed items to add to your cart:

• Rainbow Striped Table Runner
• Rainbow Cocktail Napkins
• “Party Time” Cocktail Napkins
• Rainbow Sunglasses
• Ombre Heart Sunglasses
• Rainbow Suitcase

We hope that these tips and tricks help you celebrate love and equality, even during these corona times! If you host a Pride party we would love to see it, tag us @jollityco and use hashtag #partywithjollity

Summer is the perfect time of the year for one of the best All American sports, BASEBALL! Sadly, most stadiums are temporarily closed. If you have any baseball fans in your Quarantine Crew, then we have the best idea -create your own Home Ball Park Night!

If you have access to a ball diamond or a large outdoor space (backyard), start the day off with a fun game of “Social Distancing Baseball!” Split your group into different teams and have one team wear stripes, and the other team wear solids.

Ball Park Concession Stand

One of the main reasons sports fans LOVE attending games in stadiums, is for the food!! We got a little creative while preparing our spread for a Ball Park Night at home.

• 

• 

To start, the entree! Every ball park would not be complete without the ultimate staple, hotdogs! After taking the dogs off the grill, serve them on a Bubble Mint Dinner plate.

Additionally, we prepared a ball park inspired twist on a charcuterie board, French Fry Board. This is the perfect snack for all of the hungry athletes playing in the big game, and for those of us watching on the side line.

Since we really wanted to make this a spread, we prepared the French Fry Board on one of our Bubble Mint Charger plates, which substitutes perfectly as a serving platter.

Create a dipping station in the center of the board, using our Appetizer Plates. Pro tip – these double as a wine glass topper as well.

• 

• 

To wrap up the evening, prepare a fun movie night, featuring a recording of your favorite World Series Game or a baseball movie? Our pick: A League of Their Own!

We recommend airing the feature on an outdoor projector, to continue the ball park theme.

Finally, hand out freshly popped popcorn in our Posh Cups, as the perfect concession stand treat for watching the game.

PLAY BALL!

Hey girl, hey! It’s time to celebrate with some Rosé! We’re here to give everyone a friendly reminder that Saturday, June 13 is National Rosé Day, a holiday worth celebrating!

Rosé is a beloved summertime (or anytime) wine that we at Jollity & Co absolutely love and we know you share that same sentiment. To celebrate this beautiful blush beverage, we had a little fun and created a Sparkling Rosé Wine Sangria that put on us “cloud wine!” It’s the perfect drink to celebrate the day.

• 

YOU WILL NEED

• 1 Bottle of Your Favorite Rosé
• 8 oz Vodka
• 2 Cups Lemonade
• 1 Container of Strawberries Sliced
• 1 Lemon Sliced
• A Few Sprigs of Fresh Mint for Garnish
• Optional: Sparkling Water

Step 1

Start off by placing your sliced strawberries and lemons in a pitcher.

• 

• 

• 

Add your vodka, lemonade and bottle of Rosé. We like a splash or so of vodka and two cups of lemonade. Feel free to add more or less, depending on your preferences.

STEP 3

• 

Stir and serve in a festive glass or cup with ice and garnish with strawberry, lemon and mint. Don’t forget your paper straws and rosé themed cocktail napkin.

• 

• 

• 

Clink, clink, sip, sip to some of your favorite tunes or jam out to our Rose All Day playlist! Happy Rosé Day! If you decide to make this cocktail show us and let us know what you think! Tag us @jollityandco and use hashtag #partywithjollity

In honor of National Egg Day (June 3rd), are bringing you three fun brunch ideas featuring our “Yolks On You” Collection!

KIDS BRUNCH

As the school year is wrapping up (THANK GOODNESS), celebrate the last day of zoom-classes with a pancake party! Line all your favorite toppings down the center of the table and let the kids decorate pancakes to their liking! We styled our Yolks On You Napkins with our PinkAholic and Mint to Be Plates.

TROPICAL BRUNCH

Our city, like many, is still airing on the side of caution, some of us are not quit able to hit the town for bottomless mimosas. Instead, call a few of the gals and invite them over for Sunday Funday and make yourselves some fruity cocktails with a mimosa bar! Stack your favorite brunch snacks on our Yolks-On-You Dessert Plates and pair them with our Femme Cups and Pinky Pie Cocktail Napkins for a sassy celebration!

BRIDAL BRUNCH

For all of our couples who are having to re-evaluate their festivities leading up to the big day… we’re so sorry. Everything about this just sucks, and while we are all cancelling life’s moment for the right reasons it doesn’t mean that it makes it easier.

Were you a member of a bridal party for a wedding that’s now postponed? Shower the (almost) newlyweds with a boozy brunch at home! For a more elegant feel, we paired our Yolks On You Dinner Plates, with our black and white Femme Chargers and Gold To Go Cups! Even though the celebrations may look a little different, that doesn’t mean they have to be any less FUN!

We would love to see how you brunch on National Egg Day! Tag us @jollityco and use hashtag #partywithjollity

Heads up people! If your head wasn’t spinning from the busy month of May and it’s time to round the corner and hit Father’s Day. We’re thankful though – we’re always looking for a reason to celebrate – especially in times like these!

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 21 and to help you get ahead of the game we’re showing you the perfect tablescape for dad. Move over florals and pinks, Jollity is ready to show you something a little more masculine! Check out some options for setting the table for your dad below.

FOOTBALL DAD

• 

Set a football themed table for the dad who loves tossing around the old pig skin ! Mix and match the tableware, you can go neutral or select colors from his favorite team. To decorate the room add color coordinating balloons, honeycombs, and put some throwback games on the tv. Then let dad sit back and relax, while you all grill up some game day goodies!

BREWERY DAD

This tablescape is perfect for the dads who have had their weekend brewery plans foiled by social distancing. This tablescape is inspired by a plan to have an afternoon tasting craft beers. We added a fun twist to every place setting, by putting a beer in a koozie on each plate. For the little one’s or those who don’t like beer, use bottles of Root beer or San Pellegrino’s. Bonus tip: set this table up outside to give your dad the ultimate brewery at-home experience and mark his seat with this beer balloon!

MOVIE DAD

• 

Do you live with a dad the one who must see every Oscar nominated film? Bring the movie theater to him this Father’s Day! Set the stage (aka get the living room comfy), pop some popcorn and put on his favorite movie. Don’t forget to add movie themed decorations and consider doing a dine-in movie. Serve up the tasty meal while dad enjoys a great movie!

TIGER KING DAD

This tablescape is perfect for the dad who’s a cool cat and kitten! If your dad watched the show and is obsessed, bring the show to life for him this Father’s Day. Pair animal prints with vibrant green colors, set character inspired place cards at everyone’s seats and don’t forget these tiger masks. It will definitely go down in the books as a memorable Father’s Day!

PATRIOTIC DAD

Break out all your red, white and blue themed decorations and grill up the all American favorite, hot dogs. To increase the fun ratings, have this meal outside picnic style. The best part of this tablescape? Whatever you don’t use, can be saved and used for the Fourth of July!

One of our teams favorite things is getting to see people’s parties when we are tagged on social. Regardless they’ve purchased their goodies online or we’ve helped them in the store, it brings us so much joy to see the milestones and ways people are celebrating each other. Each party always has such a distinct flair too it- the results always blow our expectations out of the water.

We are understanding that it’s still “Safer at Home,” but let’s be honest, we miss eating at a restaurant. We also need a change of scenery, so we came up with a solution…a diner themed dinner at home! 

First things first, clear the kitchen table and decorate! We thought this pink, mint, light blue and yellow color scheme was the perfect combination to make us feel like we’re right back in a 50’s retro diner. We used Bubble Mint and Mint to Be from our Posh Collection for the paper products and this pink and white striped table runner for decor. The best part about using these products is that they’re super cute and they make for an easy cleanup – can’t beat that!

Now, onto what’s for dinner. Emulate a real dine-in experience by creating a menu, printing it out and taking orders to let your family pick and choose what they want. Keep the options simple, but don’t make yourself a short order cook! Keep it fun by grabbing your chef hat and tiny little sous chefs and get to cookin’!

Find our printable menu here, use ours or fill in your own on our template!

Finally, onto our favorite part…dessert! No diner experience is complete without a milkshake. Grab your favorite flavor of ice cream and add 4 large scoops (about 1 and 1/2 cups) to a blender. Blend it together with 1/4 cups of milk. Pour into one of our 12 oz Posh Cups and then garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles and a maraschino cherry!
