Host a Sips and Dips Party: Tips and Ideas for a Memorable Soiree

[andrealynne719]

I'm setting up a party for a good friend of mine - actually, a lot of the people who were at my show when I hosted will be at this. We're all big wine fans, sangria, fancy drinks, etc...

I was thinking about doing a Sips and Dips party because I keep seeing the term - anyone done one and have good advice? It's going to be about my 4th show ever, so I want to make it a hit

Thanks all!

Use the wine bottle opener and dripless pourer/stopper as a demo when you open the first bottle of wine-kind of like a "let's kick off this party!"

Make the MaiTai's from the new season's best. Demos good products.

Then just have grilled chicken pieces and use the sauces, each in a bamboo bowl on the cracker tray, and let them try the sauces. Have cream cheese with Pineapple Rum and Raspberry Hab, serve w/crackers.

You can show the grill pan w/press and/or the grilling tools. Even the dcb as three ways to cook your chicken.

Then let them eat and drink and party. It'll be a great show because you are engaging their need to party and not getting too deep. Just showing them how easy it is to get together for drinks, doesn't take a lot of prep, just a few sauces and a bottle of wine to get sauced

Thanks!! I don't have any of the bamboo stuff yet, but I do have small square bowls and caddy, so that'll work.

Hi there! Congrats on hosting your 4th show and for having such a great group of friends who are also big wine fans! A Sips and Dips party is a fantastic idea and I have hosted and attended several myself. My advice would be to keep the theme in mind when choosing your dips - pair them with different types of wine or fancy drinks. Also, don't be afraid to get creative with your dips - try using some of our Pampered Chef products to make unique and delicious dips that your guests will love. And of course, don't forget to showcase some of our fantastic wine and drink accessories that will make your party even more special. Best of luck with your party, I'm sure it will be a hit! Cheers!
