A big thank you to Caspari for providing the pieces included in this post. I love working with brands I use every day. It’s thanks to our fabulous partners like Caspari that we’re able to continue to bring you fun and inspiring content!

I’ll be the first to admit that these last few months haven’t been ideal. They’ve meant changed plans, cancelled trips, and getting used to weird routines. What they’ve also done though, is made us eat all of our meals at our dining room table at last, finally pick out interior paint colors, and get creative with happy hours in. One of our go-to activities over drinks is playing card games. Enter Caspari.

You guys know how much I love and adore Caspari. They are a constant in my entertaining arsenal. You can always count on a set of their cocktail napkins to liven up any tabletop, whether cocktail table or dinner table. I always buy end up buying them in mismatched (but corresponding) pairs.

When I found out that Caspari had partnered with one of my favorite places in Washington, DC, Marjorie Merriweather Post’s beautiful Hillwood, I knew I had to get in on this new pattern as soon as possible. The design features a bustling cafe with bright umbrellas, smartly dressed waitstaff, and planters in bold and colorful hues. The best part though is that this Garcon design was found in the wallpaper of the games closet at Hillwood Estate.

You can find our recipe for the best chicken salad, which we served on crackers, here.

It was the perfect inspiration for our game night in. Since I love pairing Caspari’s plates with napkins that pull out the colors, I styled these ribbon cocktail napkins with them. They also come in a chic black (love these guest towel napkins).

My love of all things tortoiseshell is completely manifested in these fantastic playing cards by Caspari. They were perfectly at home in this very chic acrylic playing cards holder, which I’m now planning on purchasing for the other living areas in our home. If you’re a lover of lucite and acrylic, be sure to check out this acrylic cocktail napkin holder and luncheon napkin holder.

Game night means easy-to-eat bites were a must, so our chicken salad found itself happily at home on Carr’s wheat crackers. Kettlecorn popcorn and Old Bay popcorn (another favorite healthy recipe using that seasoning is here) rounded out our evening bites served in lettuceware. The deep green also looked beautiful against the brilliant colors used in the Garcon palette.

Cheers, friends!
