Summertime parties are a favorite American pastime. A couple of the most popular are simple and effective, for sure fire party success. The ever popular pool party is a lovely idea after sunset as opposed to the ritual afternoon barbeque. A nice touch is globe or battery powered candles placed evenly around the patio with jazz or blues playing in the background and assorted party foods, such as shish kabob, chicken fingers, tempura, bow tie pasta salad, and chips and salsa. You of course can use your own imagination and even choose a party theme like the Hawaiian luau.
Other ideas for summer fun can include an evening soiree with the windows and doors opened and screened to allow in the cool breeze. Decorating the room with candles and flowers placed directly across the room from one another make a wonderful impression on the eye and add symmetry for that posh look. The summer is also a great time to find reasonably priced art work. It is a great time for artists to sell, and the competition is fierce. Checkout your local art fair and you should find something colorful to hang above the flowers.
Great foods for this kind of thing are pates with various breads, cheese and crackers with fresh fruit, chef salad and green bean vinaigrette. In any event have your dessert ready with the most popular dessert choices; fruit tarts, and cheesecake. Have a happy and safe summer! Written by Delightful Biteful
