Summer Dinner Party Ideas and Tips
Natural Garden Theme. Create an intimate space right in your backyard. You already have the flowers. Set the perfect summer table by using fresh flowers from your garden. Add some colors by incorporating place mats and bold-hued napkins, glasses, and silverware.
Dinner on deck. To simplify make dinner Alfresco, offering easy bites like this curry chicken kebab. Or you can choose to make the entree and let your guests bring a dish of their choice.
Strike a balance with Cocktail Hour. A true party host knows, variety is the spice of life. Give your guest options when it comes to drinks. Consider, picking up some Sutter Home because they offer something for everyone, with so many different varieties. I enjoy sweet wine, so the pink and red Moscato is a win for me. So, whether you’re hosting a wine tasting dinner with friends, or game night with your girlfriends. Sutter Home is the perfect choice to bring a variety of flavors to your summer fun.
Be easy with the Playlist. Keep it cozy but mix it up a bit. Also, it’s good to know your audience and their taste in music. It helps keep everyone dancing.
Get creative with Dessert. Indulge your guest’s sweet tooth by setting up a DIY sundae station. It’s an effortless way to cool off from the summer heat.
There you’ve it, easy summer entertaining tips. These helpful tips will turn your low-key party into the party of the summer.
