How to Have the Perfect Socially Distanced Celebration

2020 Approved

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Do I have a new found obsession with picnic set ups. I can not get over this fun day with Get Fizzy Atlanta, and Gather Picnic Co, at Sugar Magnolia B&B.

Listen up brides, mother of the brides, bridesmaids, my mom.. this is the absolute best way to do a bridal shower, bachelorette dinner, birthday party, or any other celebration. Look how dreamy this set up is!

Let’s be honest, it is hard to know what is smart and safe. It’s hard to not feel like 2020 and covid have rained on your wedding parade. I get it, I can’t even begin to imagine what rescheduling events and constantly worrying if you get your big day is like. I send you all of my well wishes. But let’s reimagine things for a minute.

If you were worried about having to do a drive by bridal shower, or cancel your dinner out on your Bach trip, or cancel all together.. Please reconsider with this! An open air picnic set up!

Guys, I have seen stuff like this all over Pinterest but I never could have imagined that a company could make it possible!

Let’s start with Get Fizzy Atlanta, they are a vintage mobile bar car! The car seen is a 1986 Piaggio Vespacar. Get Fizzy Atlanta is Metro Atlanta & North Georgia’s premier mobile bar service offering an immersive beverage service experience for special events like weddings, mitzvahs, milestones, corporate, branding, promotional and festivals. The car has been fully restored and outfitted with six taps to keep the wine, beer, Prosecco, cocktails, kombucha and cold brew flowing. Contact them for any special event bartending, bar rental and other bar & beverage service needs. I actually went to a wedding over a month ago where Fizzy was a vendor and I loved them from the minute I experienced them! The car is so decorative and pretty that it blends right in with any venue!

Below is Gather Picnic Co, they create stylized picnics for moments of celebration, birthdays, proposals, showers, and more! They have a website on the way so stay up to date with all things Gather on their IG! Not only is the company adorable but the husband and wife duo behind the company is a dream boat—so sweet and helpful. P.S someone please book their “Venice” theme! It’s pink details are straight out of one of my dreams! cough cough, Eric, our 2 year is in September and this is a great idea! We used the Milos, Greece theme (pictured below) and it was also super dreamy. They do the set up for you, so imagine just getting to show up to something like this? Take my money, that is so worth it!

Let’s talk about Sugar Magnolia Bed & Breakfast next (pictured below). It is an award-Winning Bed & Breakfast in Atlanta’s Historic Inman Park! Location location location! It does not get better than this folks. So close to the Atlanta belt line which takes you to so many things to do and places to eat. I’d really like to ask how much a year of renting a room there would cost because I would loooooovvvvveee to just move on in! Just kidding, a gem like this is meant to be shared with everyone, but truthfully I will be using every excuse I can to stay here! It would be a great place to have guests stay for a local wedding, great to act as a bridal suit for the wedding party, or an excellent place to stay on a weekend staycation in Atlanta for an anniversary or friends trip! I’m sold.

Check out the photos below to see what is possible when these amazing businesses come together for a super fun girls day picnic! And consider having one for yourself because this is truly 2020 approved and so genius! It would cost a fortune to buy all of this funriture yourself and to host one, might as well rent and book vendors that can create this perfect atmosphere for you.. without you lifting a finger, unless it’s to grab a macaron on the table! Don’t mind if I do, lemon please.
