Serve, Sip & Celebrate: How to Host the Perfect Wimbledon Party
Every summer, the world turns its eyes to the grass courts of SW19 — and for good reason. Wimbledon is more than a tennis tournament; it's a moment. The whites, the strawberries, the Pimm's, the polite applause. And whether you're watching courtside or from your living room, your table deserves to be dressed for the occasion.
Here's how to host a Wimbledon viewing party that's as elegant as a perfectly placed ace.
Set the Scene with Strawberries & Stripes
Wimbledon's most iconic pairing isn't Federer and Nadal — it's strawberries and cream. Lean into this beloved tradition with tableware that does the talking.
Start with our Strawberry Cocktail Napkins — a charming nod to the tournament's most beloved snack. Layer them alongside our Strawberry Straws for a cohesive, garden-party look that feels effortlessly curated.
For your main course or grazing spread, our Red Cabana Striped Large Plates bring bold, classic energy — the red and white stripe is a natural echo of the Wimbledon aesthetic and looks stunning against a white linen tablecloth.
Add a Touch of Whimsy with Tennis-Inspired Accents
No Wimbledon table is complete without a nod to the sport itself. Our Tennis Racket Icon Napkins (coming soon — join the waitlist!) add a playful, graphic touch that guests will love. Pair them with Strawberry Confetti scattered across the table for a festive, editorial finish.
For drinks, our Strawberry Straws are perfect for Pimm's Cups, sparkling lemonade, or a strawberry rosé spritz. Serve nibbles with our White Pearl Picks

FAQ

Strawberries and cream are the quintessential Wimbledon treat, alongside finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and Pimm's Cup cocktails. A grazing board with British cheeses is always a crowd-pleaser.

Stick to the classic Wimbledon palette: white, green, and purple — or lean into the red and white stripe of the courts and traditional British garden party aesthetic.
When should I order party supplies for Wimbledon?
Wimbledon 2026 begins June 29. We recommend placing your order by mid-June to allow for delivery and styling time.
