She’ll say she doesn’t want a fuss. Put her name on the menu anyway. Six drinks, mostly pink, each starting with a cold bottle of Bella Principessa.
Which Prosecco for her birthday?
The Pink, for the photos and the toast; the Gold for the Bellini. Two painted bottles on the table are half the present.

Note per la Festeggiata
Bella Principessa Social Club
Type it in above. It’s the detail she’ll photograph first.
Someone is on the ice bucket all night. It isn’t her.
A bottle pours five glasses: about a bottle for every two guests, and one for the toast.
Glasses up, then candles. Nobody hears a toast through frosting.
Before the first cork.
Tanti auguri!

The Bottle
Every Bella Principessa bottle is ceramic‑painted, with no paper label, so it looks like part of the party from the moment it’s in the ice. Gold and Rosé, both Prosecco DOC Brut.
A Pink 75 or a Rossini: pink, celebratory, and easy to make by the tray.
A 750 mL bottle pours five glasses. About a bottle for every two guests over an evening, plus one for the toast.
A painted bottle of Bella Principessa looks wrapped already. Bring the Gold and the Pink together.
Strawberry or peach purée with sparkling water, in the same flutes. Please enjoy responsibly: 21+ only, and plan a safe way home.
