Hey Party People!

The WNBA season is back tonight! The NY Liberty play at 7:30pm et and I’m so excited for the season ahead. I grew up playing sports (basketball, softball, and volleyball). My dad has been a high school basketball coach for a long as I can remember. So sports and team culture continues to be an inspiration for how I work, host, and move through life. If it’s a watch party for a sporting event, sign me up to host! Keep scrolling for some of my favorite game time tips, snacks, and sips!

Your Turn To Host: The WNBA Watch Party

Hosting a watch party is a great way to enjoy your interests communally. Watch parties are also offer casual, low-fuss gathering that keeps you connected with friends, neighbors or family.

My top tips for hosting a WNBA Watch Party:

Of course, you must get your hands on the WNBA x La Crema Wine. The collaboration and beautiful bottle came to life with Ester Wallace, the founder of Playa Society. The limited-edition wine has bright citrus, stone fruit, and gentle tropical notes that are refreshing and perfect for casual sipping. The bottle’s call to action “cheers to women winning” also sets the perfect tone for the WNBA’s return.
On the Menu: I like to serve easy snacks that are elevated by the wine and the presentation. My menu includes popcorn, chips and dip, pigs in a blanket, fresh fruit, and my favorite peanut M&Ms.
A Note for Set Up: Make sure you have plenty of seating options for guests to get comfortable. Consider extra blankets, extra chairs, and floor cushions.
Decor: Drawing inspiration for the WNBA x La Crema bottle, you can set up your watch area with a court table cloth and basketball pillows.
For the Vibe: Encourage guests to dress on theme. For a sporting event, guests should wear their favorite jersey or sports paraphernalia.
At Half Time: Grab a copy of Court Queens by Emma Baccellieri and Jordan Robinson so guests can flip through a beautiful timeline of the history of Women's Basketball. [Amazon // Bookshop]
