Must Haves – The Party Essentials
There isn’t much you need. You’re gathering your girls for something impromptu and casual.
Invitations – The Call to Celebrate
Just send a quick text to your reality TV peeps. Low maintenance parties make it more likely that you will be willing to gather your people. We simply told everyone to set aside the date; try to wear baby blue – a node to the signature trench coats seen in the show and to bring a plate of mini cookies.
Mini Cookie Potluck
Everyone brings a plate of mini cookies, Swig style! A few crowd-pleasing suggestions:
- Dirty Dr. Pepper Cookies – like the drink (recipe below)
- Mini chocolate Chip – like the ones they serve at SWIG
- Fruity Pebble Cookies -another nod to the show (recipe below)
Set them all out on a tiered try or in labeled paper cups for easy grabbing during the episode.
Dirty Soda Bar: Sinners vs. Saints
Create a soda station with ingredients that let people build their own dirty drinks.
