Mediterranean Mezze Platter

Happy Hour is my love language when it comes to hosting. I'm excited to partner with @worldmarket to show you my stress free entertaining tips.

Food: Instead of a traditional charcuterie board, I created a Mediterranean Mezze platter by pairing grilled artichokes, bruschetta, olives and crackers with cubed feta cheese and fresh veggies. I’m all about finger foods and adding a mix of raw and grilled veggies. I also set up a DIY pita station with citrus grilled shrimp on a pink himalayan sea salt block and a board with grilled asparagus and toasted pita for guests to easily serve themselves.

Drinks: Put your sparkling wine on ice and provide fresh garnishes like fruit, mint and flavored syrups for a bubbles beverage station. World Market has so many options for curating a signature drink combo!

Decor: I love how these solar powered rattan lanterns add drama and ambient lighting. I have a few on the table and hung one from a shepards hook. I love layering cloth napkins or placemats instead of using a traditional tablecloth. And a handful of fresh wildflowers in pots bring some color and freshness to the space.

Entertaining Essentials: I prefer using sustainable serveware like these upcycled bamboo fiber plates. They are dishwasher safe and elevate your happy hour. And you can never have enough boards-I use them for everything from presenting small bites to serving.
