Okay, you’re planning a summer barbeque or cookout and you need a great party theme?! Why not a day at the beach?!. I love this idea it’s easy and simple. If you can’t get to the beach, why not bring the beach to your backyard.
Setting the mood:
1.Decorate with beach umbrellas and chairs randomly placed around the backyard.
2.Place colorful beach balls all around the backyard.
3.Citronella candles work double duty for lighting and keeping the bugs away.
4.Place lanterns in trees and plants which can create a whimsical setting.
Setting the Table:
1.Keep it relaxed and simple, use paper plates, paper cups, and paper napkins (think color, color,color with bold patterns) and place them strategically on the table.
2.Provide enough utensils for all of the different dishes.
3.Create a fun and cute centerpiece using a colorful children's bucket filled with sand. Its economical, and the sand is great for holding any inserts. (flowers, colorful crazy straws, or candles). Add a few sea shells, and your beach scene really takes off!.
Food & Drink:
1.Summer calls for heat, so keep your dishes light and focus on fresh ingredients and cool recipes
2.Barbeque is the choice for summer parties. It offers a casual, and heathly way of cooking.
3.Self-serve buffet is the most convenient and the easiest way to get your guests to mix and mingle.
4.Make sure you have plenty of non- alcoholic drinks on hand, ( water, juices).
5.Offer a special cocktail drink on hand (offer a recipe) with a varied selection of beer.
6.Provide coasters and napkins, and lots of ice.
Summer is about having fun!!!!!
