You should think about having a wine tasting instead of just a wine and cheese party. There are a lot of independant wine reps who are more than willing to show up and “educate” everyone at the party about different types/flavors of wines. It would be more fun than having a bunch of people over at your house.

If you’re in the right area, you could even hold it at a local winery. They love showing off their products to locals and appreciate the support.

If you go with hiring a wine rep, think about having dessert also … that way those who might not like cheese can still enjoy the sweets. Have fun!!!

maybe you could have the invites printed on a wine and cheese invitation, the first link below shows what i mean.
or maybe the invitation could be a wine glass, you can buy glass writing pens quite cheaply and the wine glasses can be bought at most discount store like walmart… you could write the details of the night on the glass, which can be then kept as a keepsake.

You can ask guests to bring a bottle or two of their favorite wine, or other relvent accessories.
You could have a simple menu of cheese trays, crackers, dips, fruit, french sticks & miniature quiches are nice.

the second link is to a site that has some lovely worded invites, hope this helps you put a bit.

Have a Paris theme! (The city, not the overexposed celebrity)
Do everthing in a chocolate brown and pink color scheme.
Serve not only wine, but cosmos too
Have a manicurist come and do French manicures
Do the invites in French with the English translation underneath
Some kind of Poodle goodie bag with decedant chocolates

definitely try to have it outside…hopefully it won’t be too muggy. look online for cute invitations that have wine themes. if there isn’t going to be a lot of people (and you have nice handwriting), you might want to handwrite the invites on good, classic paper to make it a bit more personal.

Wine and cheese sounds like a French bistro to me. You could do tons with that theme!

This sounds like a great idea. For prizes if you are having games, or door prizes, you could use corkscrews and wine stoppers. You could paint a flower in the bride’s colors on wine glasses and have each guest take her wine glass home as a favor.
