Embracing the eating-outdoors season
It’s summer – move activities out in the open air! Even if city living and work limit your choices, long evenings offer plenty of time to gather friends. Maybe an improvised crayfish party?
Seek out a spot, set up a camp
Once you’ve decided on a place to meet up at, turning it into a party venue takes little effort. Each group of guests bring their share of seating, decorations and food, and suddenly you have a celebration at hand.
All the food and drink you can carry
With a bit of prepping, there’s little more than transportation left. Keep food containers close together to preserve the temperature from the fridge for longer. For delicate foods, serve standing on ice packs.
A party on the side for the VIPs
While grown-ups tend to enjoy lengthy dinners, not everyone does. To keep young guests happy, it may be useful to bring along a wider selection of activities and company than their parents can offer.
Cosiness stays in, unwanted guests out
Nightfall may also attract less desirable crowds. Hang a mosquito net to keep them out. Add some mood lighting, and your bubble of cosy comfort will be complete.
