Tuscan Dinner Party (Cena Festa Toscana) a summer essentiall!!!

We just had our first summer kick off dinner party.  We chose an under the Tuscan (South Pasadena) sun theme.  Here are our steps on how we made it a fantastic event. 

• Choose a theme
• Bring together a small eclectic group of people
• Make it a potluck...easier on the host and fun for the guests
• Take the party outside and use your garden to create the atmosphere
• Use what you have and bring out the folding chairs, tables and mismatched table linens (don't worry about matching) See what we've done in the photos
• Shop local
