At Wander & Host, we believe today’s hosts want unforgettable gatherings without the overwhelm. That’s why each Everyday Escape is built around our brand promise: Dinner Parties, Reimagined for Modern Hosts.
These print-and-pour mini guides tackle the most common hosting challenges—endless planning, design indecision, and last-minute stress—so you can spend less time prepping and more time savoring moments with friends.
How to Host Your Everyday Escape
Download & Print: Receive a single downloadable folder containing all décor sketches, recipes, playlists, and conversation prompts—no hunting through multiple PDFs.
Set Up in 30 Minutes: Follow straightforward styling cues (linen stripes or citron accents), arrange your spritz station and appetizer display, and place conversation tokens on the table.
Guide the Experience: Welcome friends with a quick intro—share a fun fact about the Riviera, cue up the playlist, then invite everyone to craft their cocktails and dive into the conversation game.
Relax & Connect: With all the details handled, you get to truly enjoy the energy, laughter, and those “oh, wow” moments that turn a gathering into a memory.

Confidence to Host: Every detail is thoughtfully paired and designed, giving you the assurance to lead the evening.
Effortless Transition: Seamless flow from Italian aperitivo to French cocktail hour when you pair Italia, Lightly with Côte, Casually—perfect for extending the fun.
Effortless Transition from Italia to Côte
Part of what makes Italia, Lightly and Côte, Casually so powerful together is that they’re designed to feel like one seamless experience:
Coordinated Styling: The citrus-to-citron color story means you can swap a few table accents between courses—your décor stays harmonious from start to finish.
Playlist Synergy: Both soundtracks live in the same relaxed tempo range, so you can crossfade Italian surf-rock into French café-jazz without missing a beat.
Conversation Continuity: Start with “Amalfi Balcony or Portofino Pier” and roll straight into “Cannes Film Night or Saint-Tropez Sunset”—your friends stay engaged in the Riviera theme.
Guided Host Script: Each guide includes a short narrative cue for when to switch gears: a gentle “And now, let’s carry our spritzes west…” keeps the energy flowing.
