SUMMER ENTERTAINING
Reduce time spent in the kitchen and simplify meal service with
buffet stations and food bars.
ENCOURAGE CONTRIBUTIONS: As a party host or hostess, it’s tempting to want to do it all and take on all the burden. But it’s all right and cost effective to accept help when guests want to contribute. If friends express a desire to help, ask them to bring a side dish, a favourite beverage or a dessert to defray costs. LOW-COST ACTIVITIES: Keeping guests occupied doesn’t have to be expensive. Pass around lyrics to songs so everyone can join in on a group karaoke ses- sion featuring familiar favourites like “Sweet Caroline” or Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” among others. Board games, lawn games like cornhole or even card games are some fun options. Pool owners have a built- in source of entertainment without additional expense. Entertaining during the summer doesn’t have to be ex- pensive. By focusing on company, fun and casual food, hosts and their guests are sure to have a good time.
