** along with the appropriate invitation.**

The idea behind the shared cocktail party is that: Everyone brings “savory or sweet treats”—preferably “homemade”—and a drink of their choice, which allows them to “share” their impressions and emotions with the group and the artists in a warm and friendly atmosphere while enjoying the charms of a timeless setting!*
