quarentino italiano.
Even though we’re all stuck at home, who doesn’t love a good party!? A few of my friends and I threw a socially distanced “quarentino italiano” and it was a HIT! Grab your wine, pasta and pals and get ready to zoom away to Italy! Here’s what we did!
Step 1: Make a FIRE charcuterie board!
Step 2: Get the pre-dinner drinks flowing. Don’t skimp on this step! We sprung for the always classic, Aperol Spritz.
*We took the not skimping part very serious! Get FANCY for yourself…add blood oranges, cocktail umbrellas and make sure you get out any and all themed-dishes.
Step 3: Don’t forget to include your furry friends! (Charli loves a good meatball!)
Step 5: You guessed it…make sure to dress on theme! I went with a flowing red skirt, which is perfect for an Italian evening stroll.
Step 6: SET THAT TABLE. Get out your Grandma’s vintage dishes, pour the red wine and put the garlic bread in the oven (It has to be the tin foil kind!).
Step 7: Make sure you’re all set up for the perfect zoom call. Change the background to something a bit more Italian, put on your beret and you’re good to go.
Step 8: If you’re like me, after enjoying a few aperol spritzes and several glasses of red wine, you’re going to want to change again! Slip into something to round out the evening that screams “I’m Italian!” I went for a more “guidette” look and do not regret it.
OKAY! You’re all set to plan your socially distanced party! Go ahead and invite your friends with the free downloadable instagram templates below. Make sure to get the ZOOM backgrounds too - no party is complete without! I would love to see how your party turns out so be sure to tag @courtneywinetdesign on instagram. Ciao!
