What if we stopped waiting for the perfect moment to host… and just said yes? A Summer Peach Party doesn’t have to mean a Pinterest-perfect table or hours of prep. Sometimes, it’s a little weekday magic—a kitchen full of giggles, ravioli dough on the counter, and a splash of pink to make it unforgettable.
Last week, with nothing but a free afternoon and some leftover flour, the girls looked at me and said, “Can we make our own pasta?”
I could’ve said, “maybe later.” But something in me whispered—say yes.
And just like that, the magic began.
They rolled out dough, brushed it with pink stripes made from beet juice, and stuffed it with ricotta and herbs. It wasn’t about perfection—it was about connection. The kind of hands-on, screen-free moment that becomes a core memory. Our Summer Peach Party was born on a whim, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
If you want to recreate the moment, here’s our simple go-to homemade ravioli recipe—pink stripes and all!
+ 2 cups all-purpose flour +
+ 3 large eggs +
+ Pinch of salt +
+ Filling of your choice (we did ricotta and herbs) +
+ Beet juice or natural food coloring for “paint” +
+ Olive oil and a pastry brush +
1. Make the dough: Mix flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt until combined.
2. Knead for 5–10 minutes, then rest the dough for 30 minutes.
3. Roll out into thin sheets using a pasta roller and shape them with these fun pasta cutters.
4. Add small dollops of your filling, then fold and seal.
5. Use a brush to paint the tops with pink beet juice stripes.
6. Boil for 2–3 minutes, drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, and top with fresh herbs!
7. Grab our full peach party accessories to get started!
Whether you’re planning a peach-themed summer party or just saying yes to last-minute memories, let this be your reminder:
You don’t need a perfect plan, or a perfectly clean house.
You just need a willingness to pause and be present.
Diffuse , throw on a summer playlist, serve a bowl of peaches, and enjoy the sweet, simple joy of gathering—any day of the week.
When we decided to bring this little celebration to life, I grabbed a few simple (and beautiful!) pieces that made the table feel festive without any stress. These Amazon finds helped set the tone—soft, summery, and full of charm.
The cabana stripe table runner added just the right amount of whimsy—think beachside picnic meets backyard soirée.
We served drinks in this adorable glass milk carton that always gets compliments. It’s playful and practical!
I’m still swooning over these sweet pink drinking glasses—they were the perfect match for our pasta party and looked darling next to our ravioli masterpiece.
For plates, we used melamine peach plates—a dream for outdoor hosting and easy cleanup.
And you know I love a fun napkin moment—these festive napkins were the cherry on top (or maybe the peach on top 😉).
Each one of these items helped turn our impromptu “yes” into a celebration to remember. Sometimes it’s the little details—simple but special—that make hosting feel magical.
So what’s one thing you’ve been putting off that could bring joy today? A little moment that’s been sitting on the shelf, waiting for your “yes.”
Whether it’s a spontaneous Summer Peach Party or something small and meaningful with your kids—start there. Say yes.
You might just create a memory that becomes their favorite part of summer.
