2. Popsicles are one of Summer’s most precious gifts and they shouldn’t be reserved to be enjoyed only at kiddies parties. Get creative and enjoy your wine in the form of a popsicle. Make your mixture as per normal, simply substitute some of the liquids for liquor.

3. Take some of the pressure off yourself and make a DIY dessert bar. Your guests will then have the opportunity to make their own desserts and they’ll be able to choose their own ingredients. Think different kinds of ice cream, toppings (like sprinkles, sweets, fudge, sauces, chocolate), brownies, cream, bite-size fruit, a chocolate fountain, candy floss, marshmallows, cones etc.

5. Do something different – when you’ve had enough of “normal” parties be spontaneous and and do things with a different angle. Have a casual meal – substitute chairs for comfy pillows on the floor and get a low table.
