Entertaining

You guessed it, this post is completely dedicated to the importance of a pleasant Powder Room experience. Whether you realize it or not, your Powder Room is the most visited space when home entertaining.  You can count on every guest spending at least three minutes in here with undivided attention and judging the quality of your toilet paper. Many a time I have found myself in an unpleasant powder room situation with either crazy counter clutter, an overflowing waste basket or one hand towel for 10 people to use over the course of 4 plus hours. Yuck! Please planners, do not be this person. Your Powder Room does not have to be equipped with a heated, self cleaning toilet or a motion sensing sink but at least stocked with a few basic needs for a smooth experience.


At BashBLOK, we love our mamas so, everyday is Mother's Day. If you are like us, you've been buying gifts for mom for a couple decades plus so finding the perfect gift is more of a challenge. However, don't fret. We've been searching for days to curate the perfect list of goodies to show mom just how much you care. 

Entertaining at home can be an exhausting task and not to mention, very stressful. Our very own BashBLOK Co-Founder and CEO, Brittany Garman, is preparing for her first bash of the year to be hosted at her home. From napkin folding, menu selection, sewing projects, and decorations, follow her as she preps and shares tips for making your next Bash-At-Home a smash!

We cannot get enough and are so inspired by this gorgeous baby shower featured on Hostess with the Mostess Blog. A playful color palette, Polaroid station, and bohemian decorations were perfectly coordinated by the team at Petite Pomme Design and Jeanette Quintero of Candy Crush. Our personal favorite design touches are the sequin table cloths adding a bit of sparkle and the mix of different cake stands at the dessert table. Definitely, a smash!


Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away. Whether you have a love or hate relationship with this holiday you can't help but notice the many shades of pink and red. We at BashBLOK will take any reason to celebrate and Valentine's Day is no exception. From dresses to napkins, hostess gifts to decor we have found the best in all things love for that someone special...or maybe you. So go on, put on that perfectly pink lipstick, spritz a little extra perfume and get in the spirit. You never know, Cupid just may surprise you this year.

With 2016 just days away we at BashBLOK can't help but be excited. It has been an extra thrilling year for us as we officially launched our event planning app, to better plan and organize your bash and our blog, to share our favorite ideas and products. We look forward to continuing to bring you the best in all things party planning. To kick off the new year, we've come up with a fool proof cocktail menu. Cheers to 2016 and may your next bash be a smash!

When gift shopping for a man of style, finding pieces that are unique as he is can be quite a challenge regardless of the occasion. The options often seem repetitive and impersonal which just won't do for someone oh so special in your life. However, with the creativity and knack for thinking "outside the box", our procurement team has found a few, very special and unique gift pieces that are sure to inspire. First up, an antique lap writing desk from the late 1800's. Pretty cool, huh? This is the perfect piece for housing pocket squares, cufflinks or even the more obvious choice, personalized stationary. See our Ebay picks of similar pieces below.


  At BashBLOK, we absolutely love the style and distinction of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco Eras. Combining the curves of Nouveau and the geometrics of Deco we are quite taken by these invitation designs from Ceci New York. But, this glorious combination does not have to stop with stationary. Check out the BashBLOK picks for this fabulous mix, perfect for making yourself and your home bash ready.

At BashBLOK, we think good manners goes a long way. Whether it be at the dinner table, a social gathering or the board room, common courtesy and kindness is always a must. We may not dress for dinner or use the correct fork for salad anymore but the importance making a good impression still carries on. Check out our top picks for tips on etiquette, charm and elegance.
