If you’re hosting a big party, you may be feeling stressed. The goal is to get as much done in advance to keep you stress free the day of your party.
One of our tips: plan to set out an infused water station.
Do you like infused water more than water bottles? We sure do!
Not only do they look gorgeous and taste great, they also cut down on all those wasteful half-finished water bottles. Plus you can start prepping way in advance.
Tips for Making an Infused Water Station
- You can make infused water at least 2 and no more than 24 hours in advance of your party.
- You can cut the fruit and veggies the day before to save yourself even more time!
- Once you make an infused water, keep it refrigerated, or filled the container with lots of ice.
- Label each water, just like at the spa!
- Rinds are pretty! And they add extra flavor to your infusion.
- To make your space look even more pretty, cut up extra fruit and display it in wooden crates and around the water jugs.
- Go extra with florals, pretty cups and straws.
