End of Summer Outdoor Entertaining
Five ideas for effortless, casual entertaining

Hello September! The humidity is lessening, and the evenings cool off to reasonable temperatures. It is the perfect time for casual outdoor entertaining. Here are a few tips for a fun, memorable gathering.
Twinkle lights
Share warmth on a cool evening with lights and lanterns. They give tremendous ambiance. Check out Crate&Barrel and Target for string light options.
Food and activities for people of all ages
If little ones are coming to the party, make sure to have an activity or two and serve a familiar food. Make your own pizza is always a fun choice.
Unexpected, fun styling
Keep things casual with a bucket of drinks, or try serving with mason jars. Check a garden supply store or a home improvement store for a weather resistant metal tub.
Table Decor
To bring in a touch of autumn add a little wheat grass to the tablescape.
Gifts
Send guests home with a memorable treasure. These magnetic containers with succulents are the perfect size.
