CHAMPAGNE MIDNIGHT SUPPER
“The best is yet to come”
THE SPIRIT
A celebratory exclamation to the end of 2020 brightened with a spirited feeling of festivity and hope.
THE SETTING
Add a little razzle dazzle to the joyous occasion – set the table aglow with candles of varying heights. Add white (plates) gold (chargers) and crystal (glasses) and fresh eucalyptus for garland.
THE FOOD + DRINK
Fried chicken and champagne - the ultimate in class meets comfort
Buttermilk biscuits
Mac-n-cheese
Black-eyed pea salad
A buffet-style presentation for the food makes serving a breeze - pop the fried chicken on a fancy tiered server and put the biscuit fixings on an antique metallic tray
THE PLAYLIST
Start with mellow background music and when the effervescence of the sparkling champagne begins to release its magical powers, sing. Loud. Timeless sing-along songs for the crew: Hey Jude, The Beatles; Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd; Uptown Funk, Mark Ronson; Build me up Buttercup, The Foundations; Don’t Stop Believing, Journey; Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond
THE GLAMOROUS TOUCH
A moment of exuberant extravagance is a well-deserved entry to the new year. A champagne glass tower is the sparkling masterpiece. Create a round pyramid of stacked Champagne coupes and let the bubbly flow.
THE SPORT
Use empty champagne bottles as stakes for a raucous game of indoor champagne croquet.
THE BONUS
Injecting a new, hopeful energy into the heart of the home
