Perfect Party Pizzaz
Other than Christmas, summer is traditionally the time of year people entertain at home. Summer, however, offers more diversity in entertaining than any other time of the year. Most people have an outdoor setting where they can entertain that gives them more options for themes. For instance, I have a large sunroom where I often entertain. It's not heated in the winter so I prefer entertaining in the summer when I can use my sunroom. Furthermore, since it's enclosed, I don't have to worry about the weather. We have both the versatility and convenience by having an enclosed area to entertain. However, whether you have a sunroom, a deck or a swimming pool area, entertaining in the summer can be fun! You have the option of keeping it casual and doing something simple like grilling outdoors. In order to add some pizzas to your party, instead of buying paper goods, how about purchasing some great reusable plates, cups and bowls. You can get them in almost any discount store now and although they cost a few dollars more than paper goods, you can wash and reuse a number of times. Overall, you end up saving yourself money and you give your party a little more of a polished look. Also, if you are serving drinks, keep it simple. Pick only one designer drink to make instead of three or four. Offer a choice of wines and soft drinks as well. You can also offer a pitcher with tropical ice tea (the mixes are readiy available) and serve with fresh fruit. If you are serving appetizers, again keep it simple. Pick a few things to serve before your meal. You'll spend less money and have less leftovers. Finally, make sure you have enough seating for everyone. You can get some great folding chairs very inexpensively. By the way, did you know that the folding chair has a long history in furniture dating back thousands of years? Western furniture was based on four main sources originating Egyptian, Asian, Greek and Gothic sources. Luckily, the 20th century brought technological advances, which included the design of the folding chair, which will help make your summer celebration a huge success!
