Hosting is a hobby for me, and every time I host, I jot down little things in my Notes app that I want to remember for next time.
Once, after a friend’s wedding, the afterparty unexpectedly moved to our house and we realized we had no liquor or ch*****ne on hand. After that, I started keeping a stocked bar and a bottle of ch*****ne chilled just in case.
Another time, after a big party, the hand towels in our bathroom were completely soaked. Now, for larger gatherings, I put out individual hand towels with an obvious wastebasket nearby.
They’re small things, but I think those little touches are what make a space feel intentional and help guests feel genuinely welcomed.
I also love hosting casual, impromptu get-togethers, so it does not always need to be elaborate. For me, the basics are pretty simple: a clean and welcoming space, good food and drinks, and a comfortable place to sit.
What are your favorite hosting tips? Anything I missed? Please share them in the comments!! 💖
We asked everyone to stay seated for our walk down the aisle so it would feel less formal and more comfortable, but it actually made us feel more awkward / center of attention 😂😅 so even if the standing feels old school….I still recommend having guests stand! I think having guests stand brings more energy into the space. I’ll be sharing more reflections like this in my first substack post reflecting on our wedding weekend, you can subscribe at the link in my bio. First post will be paywalled, second post will be free. Subscribing costs less than a latte and helps support my content!

How could we possibly pick the top 20 photos to share from our full wedding album?! There are so many gems. Cherished memories captured. And so much beauty and love….Well, we tried our best! And here they are 🥰 my favorite is the photo of our ceremony where I can see the facial expressions of some of our loved ones…there wasn’t a dry eye! And honestly we didn’t anticipate making everyone cry 🙂 Maybe someday I will share our vows… the speeches and vows were really special and unique. As I’ve processed our wedding my favorite part was the people, our community and chosen family all in one place.
I just launched my Substack (link in bio!) and will be sharing a two part write up this week. Part 1 will be my reflections on our wedding from the heart, and Part 2 will be all of the details and decisions that went into planning the day in hopes that it can help a bride out there who may also want to plan her wedding (or really for anyone planning a special event / party).

Ngl I broke a sweat trying to figure out the attachment 😅😂 this is a very basic recipe that will have ice crystals because there is no binder so it’s better served fresh with a soft-serve like consistency. Next up I’m trying a custard style base that freezes well. I LOVE the ice cream attachment.
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup maple syrup (good stuff)
3 tsp vanilla (good stuff)
Pinch of salt
I can’t wait to use this daffodil cutlery for dinner parties this spring! 🌼 it is so easy to revive silver with this paste, it takes less than 30 seconds per piece. Just apply & wash off.
Typical poodle behavior 😆 Ollie recommend Las Cabanas and Jaffa Coffee
New fav coffee shop! Fogline iced latte with oat milk was 10/10! Highly recommend and I don’t say that lightly given how expensive coffee is nowadays 🙂 it was a really nice treat! Paired perfectly with a walk through the marina. I recommend parking at Seabreeze in the parking lot, then walk to Roaming Bean on the bike / walking path, then there is a loop…keep following the path to the bay, past the restaurant on the bay, to the Berkeley yacht club and then it loops back to the start of the walking path.
