John and I are planning a housewarming party to celebrate our quickie move, and I've been reading Emily Post on Entertaining to make sure I know all I need to about R.S.V.P.s and hors d'oeuvres! One thing Ms (Elizabeth) Post continued to mention was coasters-it's simply not polite to set your drink down any old place!While charming cocktail napkins might have to do for our upcoming fête, I love the idea of these Simplesong coasters, spotted on 100 Layer Cake; they feature the recipe for the event's signature cocktail, a classic mint julep. It's a great way to let your guests know what they're sipping on and save the furniture!
oh how fun! when is your partay! :)gina
ReplyDeleteI guess that etiquette doesn't mention coasters (as well as ashtrays) about "formal" tables..but who cares if we're talking about a housewarming party?! Your idea about recipes is so cute and yes, please, so useful for furniture-saving!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, darling!

Right now we have a bunch of old coasters that came from beer boxes from long ago... I would love these! Or even better, coasters with Emily Post lines on them so I know I'm always being polite.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your house warming!
I think EVERYONE should read Emily Post and learn some manners!
ReplyDeleteLove these.... great idea!
ReplyDeleteI´m sure your house warming party will be amazing!

You are possibly the sweetest lady ever! Reading Emily Post - Love! I think the recipe coasters are a fabulous idea! And there is nothing worse than water rings on your nice furniture; so they are a must! ps. I have a link to Tony's Pizza Napoletana on my blog today! Might be nice for your party!? ;)
ReplyDeleteLove these. Great idea (and saves the furniture too). Have a lovely party. All the best, talk soon

ReplyDeleteThese are so charming! Letterpress coasters are so elegant! I love the fresh mint out of the glasses. : ) Have fun planning!!

ReplyDeleteThese are great!! We're having a big housewarming party next week but since it's the end of summer we're making the most of the sun (hopefully) and having a bbq so it will mostly be outside. I might have to plan more of a cocktail party just to have an excuse to provide such cute coasters!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to post the recipe on the coaster! My sister gave me a wine glass for my birthday that had a special recipe on the bottom. :) Hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having coasters at your house warming party! Classy, fun, and adds a bit of color (always a fan of some pretty details!) Have fun with the party, Lena! xo
ReplyDeleteCute! I love that you can save them for later. What a great housewarming gift too.
