How to throw the ultimate Palm Royale party
If there is one word to sum up Palm Beach in the ’60s, it is opulence. Between its idyllic beaches and perfectly manicured country clubs, this little town on Florida’s eastern coast has long been known as an epicenter of high society.
This is the world in which Palm Royale, the latest new show catapulting to the forefront of TV discourse, takes place. And if you, like us, have found yourself daydreaming about sitting poolside fully bedecked in pink-and-green Lilly Pulitzer pieces, we’re here to tell you how to bring all that Palm Beach luxuriousness to your own backyard.
How to throw the ultimate Palm Royale party
1. The invitation
Make sure the preppy vibes are clear from a perfectly selected invitation. Our personal pick? This palm frond invitation is giving absolute Palm Beach perfection with its color palette and tropical leaves. And if you want your guests to dress up à la your party’s namesake show, be sure to let them know in your Event Details!
2. The outfits
If you’re at a loss, just remember this: Pink and green reign supreme throughout preppy fashion, as do bold florals and paisleys. Opt for silky, patterned beach coverups and dresses in retro silhouettes. Accessorize with big pearls, 1960s-inspired sunglasses and a colorful headband or headscarf. Basically, if your ’fit gives poolside country club vibes, you’re doing something right.
3. The party setup
To curate the perfect vibe, mix vibrant colors like pink, blue, green and bright white with bold, beachy patterns. Grab a couple of artificial plants with big, leafy fronds and place them in every corner. Scatter decorative seashells and starfish across every surface and be sure to go all out with the florals. If you have a pool, fill it with cute floaties like this pink one!
4. The food and drinks
A common thread throughout the show is a certain green cocktail that we personally were shocked to find out is a real thing. Yup, the Grasshopper cocktail is a creamy, minty and classic 1960s cocktail typically enjoyed after dinner. As for food, build a beautiful charcuterie board full of colorful fruits and decadent cheeses to encapsulate that boujee, beachy feeling. Patterned napkins can help tie the whole theme together, too!
5. The activities
We’re going for true 1960s high-society vibes here, and while setting up a full-on golf course in your house might be a bit out of the question (unless you’re, like, really ambitious), getting a little game of backgammon going certainly is not. Tennis is also a great option: These pink rackets are adorable and this net can be easily set up in just a few seconds!
