Long summer days and warm evenings, mean more time to entertain outdoors. Living in the great white north, I really appreciate summer. When one party is over, I’m busy planning the next one. Whether you prefer a beach party or a backyard barbeque here are some great tips I found to help make every party a success.
A giant umbrella offers relief from the sun and they look good.
Pre-hang some miniature lights and add some candles and your party goes from day to night effortlessly.
I like to throw shawls over the chair backs in case it gets chilly.
Have plenty of icy cold beverages to choose from. I serve mine from a bright red galvanized tub loaded with ice.
Keep the oven off, a crudite is a great no cook appetizer.

Serve cold soups, my favorite is gazpacho.
Corn on the cob is a hit at any party. If you’d like to upscale it, stack the corn and drizzle with herb butter.
Fresh fruit is always refreshing and it can also serve as a dessert, just add ice cream. Here’s a fruit tray that looks as good as it tastes.

Last but not least… always have a backup plan in case mother nature doesn’t cooperate.
Party on the patio this weekend.
