Elsie has been raving about how much she loves food covers like these (this is more of a metal dome style) to keep bugs and flies off of your spread. And, having an array of trays to carry and display food is a must.
Nothing says summer like a checkered tablecloth or napkins and little accents of watermelon is always a summer favorite.
Broken plates and cups outdoors can be a real party killer, so choosing non-glass serving ware keeps the party going even if there’s a spill …
patio cooler / fluted pink glass / white drink tub / pink tall tumbler / fluter pitcher / can coozy / tall boy can coozy / beverage dispenser / colored glassware / cactus beverage dispenser / orange tipped pitcher / gold salad tongs / gold spatula / pink vintage cooler / ice bucket
If you have larger parties, a patio cooler can be a life saver, but a drink tub or two is the perfect choice for smaller gatherings.
Using can coozies will keep your drinks cold for hours, and they are perfect party gifts for a summer gathering.
Pitchers are great for a smaller batch of margaritas, but beverage dispensers are the way to go for bigger parties so people can serve themselves.
Don’t forget a condiment caddy so you can keep all the hot dog fixings together! Happy hosting!
