Spring is here, so are many reasons to celebrate.  Such as Easter, Mother’s Day, Graduations, Baby Showers, Weddings, and so on.  All the reason to enjoy a fluted glass of fruited bubbly.

My stepdaughter graduation from Pepperdine today, and for her party, her sister and I set up this quick and easy Mimosa Bar.  Our guests loved pouring their own champagne, adding some fresh fruit juice and topping off with pieces of fruit.  

Setting up a Mimosa Bar doesn’t need to be complicated and can be as simple or extravagant as you want it to be.  Mine was really simple and easy to set up. I purchased the sign and labels from Etsy.  I’ve included my checklist to provide you with some ideas and assist you with setting up your Mimosa Bar.   

Tips for setting up a Mimosa Bar:

• First pick your location.  Your bar should be located where your guests walk in and notice it.  Tables are great, but you can be creative and use a bar cart.
• Include a framed sign so guest know how to create their mimosas.
• Keep champagne close by and chilled.
• Provide a variety of fruit juices and pour in clear carafes, vases, or jars.  Add some type of label for identifying the juice.
• Fill bowls with fresh fruit.  Make sure large fruit, such as pineapple, is cut into smaller pieces.  Fruit should be fresh and presentable. Frozen fruit is not suggested.
• Decorate your bar with some flowers.
