How to host a Mamma Mia!-inspired party
Ready to kick back with your besties in Kalokairi? Get set to live out your '70s disco daydreams—because we just planned *the* summer party of the season.
The decor
Break out the blues and whites—this party calls for a seaside-inspired color palette. Set the table with woven mats and your prettiest azure plates (we heart the Food Network 4-piece Mediterranean Salad Plate Set, $35, kohls.com), then adorn your dance floor with a massive mirrorball. To create a fabulous photo booth (we *know* you'll want to snap some iconic Donna & The Dynamos pics), hang a shiny tinsel backdrop on an empty wall and decorate with sparkly balloons (plus a garland of bougainvillea, natch).
The food
Treat your girls to a glorious Greek spread before you dance the night away. Pita chips with hummus, chicken souvlaki and tomato feta salad make perfect pics. For dessert, set out some custom-decorated sugar cookies (from pink flowers to flare jeans, the piping options are endless) and baklava bites from the bakery.
The agenda
Movie-themed trivia, anyone? Whoever knows Sophie's last name gets a flower crown. Then, give each guest a Mamma Mia!-inspired notebook (find a replica from TheDonnaDiaries, $21, etsy.com) and jot down your most treasured squad memories—plus your dreams for the year ahead—before sharing with the whole group. Finish the night with a killer round of karaoke (ABBA songs required, obvi) and choreo to "Dancing Queen."
