“Dip Dip Hooray!” Dip Bar: A creative and fun way to serve bite-size snacks and dips at any party.
As a hostess, I’m always looking for simple ways to serve food to our guests, and setting up a decorated-designated “spot,” for the event, is something that guests LOVE! It’s inviting, and if your guests are like ours… they tend to crowd around the food anyway, so you might as well spruce it up a bit, right?
Besides, who doesn’t love a good food bar at a party!?
“Dip Dip Hooray” Dip Bar
For a dessert dip, it would be amazing to serve this red, white, and blue dessert dip on this bar, too!
It’s Labor Day! The perfect excuse to decorate with the red, white & blue! However, a dip bar can be created and served any time of the year! Indoors or out. Designate a table (or bookshelf like I did here) and fill it full of dips, snacks, and any coordinating decor to match your theme or event purpose.
A Dip Bar
Styling Tip: Have a napkin or dishtowel that matches your party color scheme? Fill a vase with a napkin, to give it the “filler,” look, all while adding a little extra color!
Pre-Made Dips:
To keep things SUPER simple with this dip bar, I knew buying pre-made dips was the answer – except for this blue cheese dip. (You just can’t find anything in the store as good as this one!)
Bite Size Snacks to Dip:
Fill your dip bar with items that can be dipped, and you’ll keep your guests busy snacking, all without having to serve and cook up a large meal. Yay for more time to visit with your guests!
You can also fill your dip bar with goodies that they guests may need, so they can easily serve and help themselves. Items like cocktail plates, napkins, silverware, drinks, and of course… dessert.
If you’re doing a red, white and blue theme, you’ll also love this flag dessert pizza we love making!
Fantabulous Hostess Tip: Don’t fret over trying to decorate a dip bar. Take a close look at the one I have styled here. It’s simply using things around the house, (including my obsession with fabric and fun napkins) to style a table that I normally use in my foyer. Plan a color scheme, and start looking around the house for items that would match the theme! Before you know it, you’ll have more items to use, than you thought!
I hope you’re inspired to entertain this Labor Day. Keep it simple and enjoy your guests! No one likes a stressed hostess!

Hello, First love your ideas. Where did you find that wood sign stand (chalk -) I am not crafty and viewing your ideas-would love to find one. Thank You

Hi Maggie! I know I already answered this question on a different post, but I wanted to do it here too just in case! I found this at Home Goods a few years ago, so although they may not have this anymore, they usually have a great selection of frames! I hope that helps!

I absolutely love this look! So easy, but looks so great! Do you remember where you found your silverware tray/caddy? It is exactly what I’m looking for!!

Hi Joanne! I believe I found mine at Gordman’s a long time ago, but I found a VERY similar one HERE! I hope that helps!

Hi there!
Where did you get your cotton for your vase? I have tried Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Wal Mart with no luck! Thanks!
Jessica says
Hi Catherine!
Oh shoot, I did find mine at Hobby Lobby last year. BUT… I did a quick search on amazon and found some here: http://amzn.to/2rsECp2 (affiliate) $30/3 sounds a bit pricey, but I did pay close to $10 for each stem last year! I hope that helps!
