Setup
The party was outside, so we opted for a tent just incase for weather conditions. We decided to purchase most of the tables/chairs instead of renting, it ended up being cheaper! Now we have the supplies in our inventory for any future events we host.
This tent was the easiest setup ever. The key is to buy a “pop up” tent! We had the tent up in less than 45 minutes. This 10X30 size was perfect to seat 30 people.

Another smaller tent option, 10X20

I was very skeptical of these chair covers, but I was SO glad that we used these. It made everything look more uniform. Especially if using different sets of chairs.

Tablescape/ Linens
I wanted the main dining table to have more of a Roman theme, so lots of greens, reds, and whites! I used empty Cento tomato cans to fill with flowers, I used clear cylinder vases to fill with pasta, and we bought a few loaves of bread and bottles of...
Amazing quality! I liked the green option rather than the traditional red and white checkered, but multiple colors available.

Bar Area
The bar area had more of an Amalfi coast theme, so lots of blues, yellows, and lemons! I custom made a lot of signage so tie in the spritz theme as well.
