Hello everyone! I so appreciate your kind comments on Friday’s post about slowing down for summer, thank you! We entertained a crowd on Saturday and with a little help from some friends we had a really great time. Some friends helped with food, another with the Pandora playlist and speakers, my friend Heidi took pictures, and Matt and I played host and hostess at our house. It’s always nice when friends chip in to make a party a success! The theme was Summer Sangria and with some supplies from World Market, I set up a sangria bar and it was a big hit.
I cleaned off our potting bench we built last year and used it temporarily as a beverage station. Two apothecary jar dispensers held the sangria so guests could pour and add a spear of fruit.
I try to get everything done in advance when it comes to parties where we’re hosting a crowd, so I set up the bar a few hours before.
Just before the guests arrived, I mixed up two kinds of sangria, a white version and a red version, with equal parts wine and sparkling juice in two apothecary jar dispensers.
For those that don’t drink (or want to take a break from alcoholic beverages) we also provided carafes of sparkling soda in various flavors.
These are the supplies I picked up at World Market for the party:
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6/ 7 / 8 / 9
Local wines and fresh fruit were all we added. Today World Market is giving away two $100 gift cards to their store! Simply leave a comment on this blog post to be eligible to win one of two gift cards.
You can use it for supplies to host your own summer party or for anything else you wish at their store! Two winners chosen at random. Giveaway ends Thursday June 6, 2012 at midnight PST. US only.

World Market? Oh you mean the Wine Store! :-) Earlier this Spring bought delightful over size canvas director’s chair covers at World Market. They get more comments than my entire new patio ensemble!

Oooooh!!! I love World market!!
I LOVE WORLD MARKET! I haven’t been in a while because there is not one near my house, but I’d make the special trip if I won!
A gift card from World Market would come in handy. We are hosting a big party this weekend and I am still arranging everything in my head. We are bringing in “The Taco Man” who will make tacos to order. He is actually the cook at our favorite Mexican restaurant and they are doing the side too. I cheated and ordered cupcakes also. We are doing a wine tasting station and a beer tasting station. All I have to do is decorate and I’m using an easy beach theme so I didn’t have to go out and buy much.
I love world market. Wish there was one in Boston!
The apothecary dispensers are so neat!
What a great party!! I love love World Market!! A great place to shop!
I <3 World Market AND Sangria!
Looks so fun! I love the things you picked :)
I love World Market and this sangria party is right up my alley! Love it!

I looooove World Market! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

I just switched into party planning mode for my son’s first birthday and had totally forgotten how awesome World Market is for party supplies! I will have to swing by soon.
We are doing sangria at my engagement party in a few weeks. I love your make-your-own version! Thanks for the ideas as always!
I love World Market! Sounds like you know how to throw a stress-free party! Delegate!
Love me some World Market! That table runner would make beautiful pillows or a brilliant accent to a plain throw.
Enjoy more time with your kiddos. They grow up way too fast. Sniff.
Oh, I am definitely stealing this party idea! My husband and I honeymooned in Spain, so sangria holds a special place in our hearts. I love the skewered fruit — what a cute way to add a little something special.
The funny thing is that we just wandered into a World Market for the first time the other week. When we left, my husband said, “So I guess we’re going to be coming back here a lot, huh?” He knows me well!
What a pretty set up. Great ideas.
I love World Market!! looks like you had a fun party!
Love World Market!!
Great Giveaway!
Great outdoor party ideas!

Great looking party!
Love World Market for summer entertaining essentials!
I absolutely adore the products at World Market. You have given me a great idea to host a Sangria Party. Yummy! :-)
I love the sangria bar idea! I have several recipes for it but not this one, easy and inexpensive. And I love the fruit skewers! Makes it easy to eat the fruit, rather than what I usually do and dig it out with my fingers!
World Market is the best- I love how they label things- pretty enough to be part of the decor!
Love, Love, Love World Market and Sangria for that matter! Our closet World Markey is 100 miles away and heading there this weekend, I can barely wait!!!
Long time lurker – first time poster! I love World Market – it’s on my places to go to tomorrow when I have a free day – we’re out of Raspberry Singoalla Cookies and now that Ikea has stopped carrying them, World Market is the only place that has them. I also want to pick up a cushion for my adirondack chair – they’ve got so many great patterns to choose from!
Would love to win and pick up some things from World Market.
What a great looking bar! I would love to shop at World Market for a party. So much fun! Thanks for sharing.

I like World Market and your party looks fabulous!
Love World Market! What a great start to summer!
Love the idea of a sangria bar. Looks so fun!
I love the beverage set up station. Sangria has always been my favorite summer entertaining drink, particularly white wine sangria with fresca and peaches. Nice touch with the fruit skewers and non-alcoholic options as well. I love the dispensers. The one I have (different type, bought from Williams-Sonoma years ago) drips horribly. It looks pretty but functionally useless.
I love world market! You also reminded me how much I love sangria. I need to make a batch soon.
Love the candle holder. Love world market, just wish it wasn’t and hour + away!
Love World Market, and winning this would inspire my own Sangria Party!!;)
So fun! I love sangria. :)

Sangria definitely says summer! Looks like a beautiful party!

Would love this look for our baby shower BBQ!
I absolutely love perusing the isles of WORLD MARKET! You can never walk out of that store without a great deal on something that you thought you didn’t need.

You make it look so easy. Next stop, WORLD MARKET!!
I love Sangria and hosting parties as well, this is the best of both worlds!

What a great idea! I love Sangria so why not throw a party around it! Love World Market too :)
I’ve always seen the fruit already added to the Sangria, but I love the idea of guests being able to add their own!
I love world market!
I like the littel fruit spears you made. They were so pretty

Love this sangria bar! so creative. Crossing my fingers for the World Market gift card!

I love summer and sangria :) I have found a new favourite recipe for this summer, a strawberry and lemon white wine sangria!
A sangria party is such a cute idea! I love World Market!
I am going to try your Sangria mixes. It never occurred to me to use the sparkling juices from World Market for this, but now it makes perfect sense!
Sangria! Love the fruit skewer idea instead of having it in the sangria.
I love how you used the fruit spears as colorful decorations and as individual garnishes for the sangria! Might steal the idea for a party this weekend!
Your Sangria bar is beautiful! Kinda’ puts my Coleman cooler on wheels to shame lol!! I absolutely Love World Market so Thank You for this awesome opportunity!! :)
I love that table cloth!!
Gorgeous!
I love summer and Sangria! I have found a new favourite for this summer, Strawberry and Lemon white wine sangria! Yum :)
This would be great! I love those beverage dispensers! I’ve been looking to get one for a while so that we can host a housewarming party this summer! Just made some fresh rhubarb juice too!
I love world market! They have this one tufted grey chair that I would love to buy!
Sangria is the best summer beverage! Love the dispensers
Fabulous party idea. When the temps are over 100 like they are here in Phoenix right now, cranking up our outdoor misters and pooring some icy cold cocktails is an absolute must. World Market outdoor accompaniments– bright cushions, cool andoraks, funky glassware, sparkly linens, refreshing beverages– are a must-have!
Looks like a lot of fun! :)
I love World Market! Their blood orange soda mixed with their house sangria is excellent too.
Love World Market! And I love the set up you created!
I love pretty drink tables! Throwing a baby shower soon and I am thinking of doing a similar look.
World Market – Yes please!! I love their boxed sangria – mix it with some fresh fruit and instant summertime!
Who DOESN’T love World Market! :) Lots of good decorating finds there for sure.
I never leave World Market emtpy-handed! You never know what treats you will find there.
I miss my World Market! We had one here but it moved.
The sangria set up is so fun and festive!

I love how you seat up for parties! But of course, with your beautiful Napa backyard, you’ve got the perfect backdrop. Thanks for sharing!

I usually have a summer open house at my house and LOVE World Market. Sangria sounds like a delicious way to serve a nice drink.
I just made my third online purchase at World Market. I would love if they would open a shop in the northeast!
Love your party setup and World Market!
This is a fun and unique party idea!
Thank you for doing the giveaway! That was such a smart idea to leave the fruit out but on picks so the fruit did not clog the sangria jars!
Love this idea and love World Market!
Love the sangria bar…it’s beautiful!
One of those gift cards would help out with my summer solstice dinner party! And sangria is an excellent idea…
Love the set up for a summer party, and I love WM!

You make it all look so lovely yet doable. What a nice way to celebrate the start of summer!

I have been desperately trying to convince my husband that we need drink dispensers for our little one’s upcoming birthday party. He doesn’t quite ‘get’ my desperation. This would certainly solve my (very first world type of) problem :)

I would love to have a party this summer, and there are always things that I would love to spend a gift card for.

Thanks for the fabulous party inspiration!
Very cute idea for a summer party!
I love the idea of the carafes to decant the soda! And, the labels on the sodas are so pretty, having a shelf filled with the bottles could be art itself. All of the small elements you have assembled are so inviting! I hope you had a wonderful time.
Where did you find the sodas?
Everything looks wonderful! Would love to win!

I’ve never made Sangria, but I would love to try! What a great idea for summer!
It looks so yummy great idea for a party.
Looks awesome! What a great summer party idea. And World Market is the best!
I never thought about just adding fruit juice to wine for a sangria, and sparkling at that would be a nice added zip.
What a fun party! And a great reminder to divide and conquer entertaining!
my friends and i love to hostess, and we usually borrow things off of each other. i would love to own a drink dispenser for myself. and so smart to put it up on something so the spout could be more easily reached.
Love Sangria and LOVE World Market!!!!
I love those carafes. This sounds like the perfect party idea. I love anything that can be set up ahead of time.
Thanks!
I would love to buy everything, exactly as you had it for your party! Perfection!
Ah! What fun! I was just looking at World Market’s website yesterday for new dining chairs (new apartment + no table + no chairs = shopping that must be done!) and there were so many good ones that I liked.
