We’ve done weddings, Christmas parties, bridal showers, baby showers, Fourth of July Barbecues and fundraisers for 200+.
But what we love most is a dinner party among friends, the pause in a busy week to share delicious food and even more delicious conversation. A moment to feel pretty and witty by candlelight. To feed and be fed, love and be loved, even on a week night.
If only you had time to plan the perfect menu, research great recipes, come up with chic decor and the perfect signature cocktail to set the tone of your fabulous dinner party.
Ahem.
We’re available to do all that for you!
Tell us who you’re having and why plus any dietary restrictions or food allergies and then share an inspiration with us–a favorite dish, photo, movie, book, memory—whatever you have in mind for your ideal soiree.
We’ll blueprint the party ASAP and it’ll be yours to throw.
Fabulous guests not included.
The Blueprint kit includes:
1 signature cocktail recipe OR suggested wines for pairing
1 custom 3-course menu (one course will be entirely store bought, a cardinal rule of calm hosts everywhere)
3 recipes to help you execute your menu
3 simple decor ideas to transform your space (may include floral arrangements, centerpiece ideas, music suggestions, party favors, DIY decor project, etc.)
1 timeline–detailing when to shop, when to prep and when to preheat your oven
Cost: $100
To start planning your next party email us at applesandonions@gmail.com!

[…] A & O Dinner Party Blueprints: DIY kits are having a moment, having been put to use in projects as contained as interior design and as aspirational as building a civilization. Somewhere in between sits the task of throwing a dinner party. To help, bloggers Sarah Lagrotteria and Lydia Ellison Howerton of Apples & Onions are offering their expertise in the form of Party Blueprints. For $100, A&O will customize a kit containing a signature cocktail recipe or wine pairing, a three-course menu, simple decor suggestions, and a timeline for executing each stage to perfection. This is pre-fab planning that reflects the priorities of today’s consumers: reasonably priced, customized, and it lets consumers keep their calm. […]
