Are you planning any backyard summer parties this summer?
With the recent soaring summer temperatures, you may need a few additional party tips for entertaining in the heat!
One of the first things you should keep in mind is safety. A
summer party is one of the best ways to get all of your friends and family
together, however, safety comes first! Keep in mind the ages of the guests who
are attending your party and keep their needs in mind. If the sun gets too hot
and it seems that your guests may be overheated, move the party inside. Also,
plan your event for the time of day in which it’s the coolest.
Next, plan ahead! If you have a pool and you know it’s going
to be a really warm sunny day, ask everyone to bring a bag of ice over and drop
them in the pool to cool it down. Make
sure you have plenty of umbrellas over all outdoor seating so your guests are
comfortable. If your event is inside, try and stay out of the kitchen and only
serve “grilled and chilled” items.
It is also nice to incorporate seasonal items into your menu
and décor. Have plenty of fruits and vegetables around for your guests to grab.
Also, place flowers in small containers all around the backyard and house to
add a special personal touch. Sprigs of woody herbs like rosemary and thyme are
also nice to put on your table to add some fragrance. Frozen ice pop cocktails
and berries frozen into ice cubes are also a great personal touch to cool off
some of your older attendees!
