Match Point Mingle
Set the Scene
Venue: Book a tennis club, a private court, or set up a chic backyard tennis vibe.
Dress Code: Think preppy whites, Wimbledon-inspired outfits, and vintage tennis aesthetics. Decor: Incorporate yellow, green, and white palettes, trophy-inspired centerpieces, tennis ball garlands, and chic lounge seating.
Game, Set, Mingle!
Organize a round-robin tournament with playful awards (best serve, most enthusiastic, best dressed). Offer a casual tennis clinic for beginners so everyone can get involved. Have a lawn game area with croquet, bocce, and badminton for non-tennis players.
Sip & Snack
Cocktails: Serve signature drinks like the “Match Point Martini” or “Strawberry Smash Spritz.” Other drinks: A grab-and-go fresh juice bar bottled with your event logo
Food: Keep it light with cucumber sandwiches, fruit skewers, charcuterie boards, and Wimbledon-inspired strawberries & cream.
Music & Entertainment
Curate a playlist of upbeat, classic summer tunes with a mix of old-school and trendy hits. Another option would be to hire a DJ or live band for post-match socializing.

Personalized tennis visors or sweatbands. Mini bottles of Pimm’s or custom tennis ball-shaped chocolates. Embroidered towels with the Match Point Mingle logo. Folding fruit fans from Farm Rio
Keep It Social
Create a hashtag like #MatchPointMingle for guests to share their best moments. Have a Polaroid guestbook where people can snap and leave a note.
SPRING GARDEN PARTY
Set the Scene
Choose an outdoor space with lush greenery—your backyard, a countryside estate, or a botanical garden. Layer textures with vintage floral linens, rattan chairs, and soft cushions. Add a pergola draped in vines or hanging florals for a romantic touch.
The Dress Code
Think white eyelet dresses, linen sets, wide-brimmed hats, and chic sunglasses. Encourage guests to wear garden-inspired prints or soft pastel tones.
The Tablescape
Use delicate porcelain plates, gold flatware, and colored glassware. Floral centerpieces should feel natural—think wildflowers, peonies, or tulips in vintage vases.
Details: Personalize with handwritten name cards or embroidered napkins with pom details.
The Menu
Drinks: Serve a signature floral cocktail, ike an elderflower spritz or a citrusy Pimm’s Cup.
Bites: Offer a European-inspired spread—mini tartines, fresh fruit, and lavender-infused pastries. Dessert: A lemon drizzle cake or floral-infused macarons add a sweet touch.
The Atmosphere
Soft French café music or live acoustic tunes in the background. Lawn games like croquet or pétanque for a touch of playfulness.
POP-UP CAFE @ HOME
The Scene
Choose a cozy corner: A kitchen nook, patio, or dining table can transform into your café space. Add Parisian touches: Use bistro-style chairs, small round tables, and layered linens. Florals & candles: Fresh flowers in bud vases and tapered candles set an inviting mood.

Keep it simple but indulgent—think café favorites: Drinks Espresso, cappuccino, and iced matcha. Floral lattes (lavender, rose, or vanilla bean) Signature spritz or mocktail (like an elderflower lemonade) Bites Fresh croissants, madeleines, or scones.
