Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Summer entertaining can be breezy, if you take the gathering outdoors. Here are some tips:
– Invite guests three weeks in advance. For a large gathering, estimate that 70 percent to 80 percent of the invitees will show.
– Estimate three alcoholic drinks and four to five appetizers per guest.
– For an inexpensive centerpiece, wrap a shoebox in white paper and fill it with fruit or seasonal flowers held in place by green foam. For a party that’s a bit more formal, use different-shaped mirrors on the table with simple glass votive candleholders placed on top.
– Use martini glasses to serve chilled soups or appetizers.
– Don’t be afraid to bring glassware outside. It’s more stylish than plastic cups.
