Create a Chic, Shimmering Cocktail Station

Whether you plan to pop the bubbly or serve up classic cosmopolitans, arranging a refined, self-serve bar is an excellent way to enliven the party. Offer guests drink glasses adorned with silver pom-pom stirrers, add an array of golden bartending tools to the set for easy access, and place a statement cocktail shaker, like the W&P Pineapple Cocktail Shaker from the Must Have x Neiman Marcus box, front and center to facilitate mixology experimentation. The cocktail shaker is available in both silver and gold. Place the whole display on a sparkling mat for beautiful Instagram snaps that will score all of the "likes."
