Attention, girly pops! Here's how to slay your next get together in super-cute style: put a bow on it! On what? Everything! Whether you’re hosting a shower for a little girlie on the way or having a gal’s night just because, bows are sure to make your table extra bow-nita for the occasion. And, they’re especially on-theme for a bridal shower, bachelorette party, or any celebration for someone “tying the knot!”
1. Add Dough-Bows On Dessert
Talk about a sweet idea—a bow-decked dessert! First step, find the prettiest pink bakeware you can. We chose the adorable Make It Pop pie dish from Kate Spade New York. It makes baking a “piece of cake (or pie)”—as the inside of the dish reads in cute italics—thanks to its reliable stoneware construction and a generous 11” diameter. After prepping a pie according to your favorite recipe, decorate the top of it with simple bows created from long, thin scraps of dough. It’s so easy—and looks like it took a cooking class to accomplish. Before baking, scrunch the crust with your thumbs to give it a frilly, golden-brown border that follows the scalloped edge of the dish. When you serve it, remember to remind your guests that pretty people deserve pretty pie. And this pie’s the prettiest!
2. Tie Ribbons On Refreshments
Complete the table and tie the theme together with ribbons wrapped around refreshments. Especially bow-eautiful in pink and white, bows on cocktail glasses add romance and make each drink look like a gift to your guests. You’ll need glassware with a stem, of course, and our Tuscany Coupe glasses are perfectly posh for serving cosmopolitans, rose wines, or any blushing beverages to match your gorgeously girly theme. And just as the drinks flow, so do these celebratory bows with each clink. (Pro tip: depending on your color scheme, use varying shades to identify whose glass is whose.) And while we can’t shape utensils into bows, we can make sure they match the theme! From pretty pink dinner napkins to Imperial Caviar gold flatware the table will be absolutely glowing when the girls get together.
